Diverse Project Portfolio
Aston Bay’s exploration projects are located in mining-friendly regions known for their mineral potential, supporting communities and access to skilled labour.
Storm Copper and Seal Zinc Project
Nunavut, Canada
High-grade, sediment-hosted copper discovery.
Epworth Property
Nunavut, Canada
High-grade, bulk-tonnage Cu-Ag-Zn-Co-Au system.
Exploration Potential
Positioned for Global Energy Transition: The global energy transition is driving demand for copper and zinc, essential for electric vehicles, renewable energy, and infrastructure.
Aston Bay is focused on discovering and developing:
COPPER (Cu)
Key for electrification and grid expansion
ZINC (Zn)
Vital for energy storage and corrosion protection
SILVER (Ag)
Integral for solar panels and electronics
GOLD (Au)
Store of value and essential in electronics
Cobalt (CO)
Crucial for high-performance EV batteries
Aston Bay’s Storm Copper Project in Nunavut has returned high-grade copper assays up to 3.7% Cu, indicating a potentially world-class system.
High-Grade, Near-Surface Copper Discovery at storm Copper project
Storm Copper Project (Nunavut) Initial Resource
8.2 Mt @ 1.47% Cu (Indicated)
High-grade for open-pit mining.
Expanding Footprint
The MRE includes six near-surface copper (-silver) deposits within the greater Storm Copper area: Cyclone, Chinook, Corona, Cirrus, Lightning Ridge and Thunder.
Attractive Project Economics
Over 90% of copper is near the surface (<120m depth) Favorable mining conditions with lower operating costs.
High-quality mineralization
Chalcocite-dominant copper sulfide.
Strong metallurgy
Indicates efficient processing and recovery.
De-Risked Through Strategic Partnerships
Leveraging Partner Expertise While Minimizing Dilution
Joint Venture with American West Metals (80/20 split) allows Aston Bay to benefit from advanced exploration and development work without dilution at early stages.
Risk-free Path to Production
Aston Bay is fully carried through to a decision to mine, minimizing capital risk.
Strategic Partnership with Ocean Partners
Aston Bay’s Storm copper project partner, American West Metals, has formed a strategic partnership with Ocean Partners Holdings to advance Storm, including financing up to 80% of its initial development capital.
Royalty Financing
Taurus Mining Royalty has agreed to advance the US$3.5 Million second tranche of the royalty payment.
High-Grade, Near-Surface Copper Discovery at storm Copper project
