Aston Bay Holdings Ltd. (TSX.V: BAY) (OTCQB: ATBHF) has officially launched its summer field program at the Epworth sediment-hosted copper-silver-zinc-cobalt project, located 80 km southeast of Kugluktuk, Nunavut. This initiative is set to explore the southern portion of the property, where recent surveys have identified deep conductors and near-surface anomalies, suggesting potential traps for metal-bearing fluids. The exploration will specifically target the Lower Rocknest Formation dolomites and the Upper Odjick Formation clastic rocks, both known for their sediment-hosted copper mineralization potential.
Initial findings from mapping and prospecting have already identified multiple copper zones associated with the MT anomalies. The company plans to conduct further work over several high-priority areas in the coming weeks, aiming to uncover the full mineral potential of the Epworth project. This exploration effort is part of Aston Bay's broader strategy to discover high-grade copper and gold deposits in North America, including its ongoing projects in Virginia, USA, and Nunavut, Canada.
The significance of this summer field program lies in its potential to contribute to the global supply of critical metals, including copper, silver, zinc, and cobalt. These metals are essential for various industries, from renewable energy technologies to electric vehicles, making the Epworth project a key player in the transition towards a more sustainable and electrified future.
