Ameriwest Critical Metals Highlights the Potential of the Bornite Copper Project with the Release of Historical Drill Intercepts

Ameriwest Critical Metals Inc. has completed a comprehensive review of historical drilling data from its 100% owned Bornite copper-gold-silver project in Oregon, unveiling exceptional mineralization potential within a breccia pipe structure. The analysis of 48 drill holes completed between 1976 and 1990 by previous operators reveals both high-grade outer shell mineralization and substantial lower-grade interior pipe potential.

The most significant intercepts include 110 feet grading 10.831% copper equivalent and 140 feet grading 9.423% copper equivalent, demonstrating the project's high-grade potential. Additional notable results include a massive 980-foot interval grading 1.453% copper equivalent, indicating the scale of the mineralized system. The historical database encompasses 38,914.5 feet of drilling data that the company has digitized for modern analysis.

This technical foundation positions Ameriwest to advance the project through systematic verification work, including re-logging and selective re-assaying of historical core stored in Reno. The company's strategy focuses on converting historical information into a modern technical framework compliant with current NI 43-101 standards. CEO David Watkinson emphasized that both the high-grade shell and lower-grade interior components may be economically viable under current mineral price conditions.

The Bornite project represents a significant opportunity in the critical metals sector, particularly given copper's strategic importance. Ameriwest plans to permit and execute a drilling program to validate historical results and conduct infill drilling necessary for a current mineral resource calculation. The project's exceptional grades and substantial mineralized intervals position it as a potentially transformative asset for the company in Oregon's emerging critical metals landscape.
