Northwest Copper Identifies Kwanika Central Zone Transfer Target
News Release
NORTHWEST COPPER IDENTIFIES KWANIKA CENTRAL ZONE TRANSFER TARGET
Vancouver, BC – June 21, 2023 – NorthWest Copper (“NorthWest” or “the Company”) (TSX -V:
NWST) (OTCQX: NWCCF) is pleased to announce that it has identified a highly prospective drill
target approximately 500 metres south of the Kwanika Central Zone 1 (the “Transfer Target”). In
recent months, t he NorthWest exploration team has been reassessing the vast amount of
exploration data available for Kwanika , which has resulted in the iden tification of new
prospective areas. The Transfer Target is an exciting and tangible result of that ongoing work and
is shown in Figures 1 and 2 below. The target was identified primarily by new interpretations of:
o The 3D induced polarization (“3DIP”") survey completed in 2022;
o New models that reconstruct movement on post-mineral structures; and
o Alteration and metal zoning patterns.
“The Transfer Target is an excellent example of NorthWest’s planned strategy to drill high-
leverage exploration targets in 2023”, said Interim President and CEO David Moore. “The Transfer
Target has potential to add shallow, high-impact, open-pitable mineralization within the existing
footprint of the Kwanika Project. The target can be tested by a small number of relatively shallow
drill holes and is logistically easy to access . P rojections of grade based on truncated resource
blocks west of the Line Fault can be used to effectively target this drilling and suggest that the
Transfer Target may represent the faulted offset of the Kwanika Central Zone. We are continuing
to reassess our historical results to identify additional high -impact drill targets within our
portfolio.”
