NorthWest Copper (TSX-V: NWST) has outlined its strategic direction for 2025 under new CEO Paul Olmsted.

1) Exploring near-surface targets at the Transfer Target zone
2) Evaluating options to incorporate Lorraine property resources in future economic studies

The company has engaged Equity Exploration Consultants to support exploration activities, following their successful work on the Lorraine-Top Cat project in 2024. The company's assets, located in British Columbia, include significant copper resources positioned to benefit from global electrification demands, along with gold exposure at near all-time high prices.
