Vancouver, British Columbia – February 5, 2015 – Aston Bay Holdings Ltd. (TSX-V: BAY) (“Aston Bay” or the “Company”) today announced that it has extended the land package at the Storm Copper Project by acquiring six new Prospecting Permits (“Permits”), totaling approximately 319,760 acres (129,400 hectares).

The new Permits cover approximately 80 km of prospective strike length along the southern extension of the sedimentary formation which hosts the copper mineralization at Storm. The total strike length of rocks prospective for copper now exceeds 110 km with this acquisition. Chalcocite and malachite grab samples were collected over an area 100m in diameter at one location within the permit area (see map below) during a short prospecting trip conducted in 2014. Laboratory analysis of the grab samples from frost boils, which were discovered more than 30 km south of the drill-confirmed copper mineralization at Storm, yielded assays of up to 33.9% copper. The majority of the permits cover land outside the 2km Area of Mutual Interest (AMI) contemplated in the Storm Joint Venture Agreement with Commander Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: CMD).

“The acquisition of these permits strengthens the Company’s land position in a sedimentary basin fertile for the deposition of copper,” says Benjamin Cox, President and CEO of Aston Bay. ”The presence of chalcocite and malachite so far from the known mineralized zones suggests that copper mineralization may be widely spread.”
