ArcWest Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AWX), a Canadian project generator, focuses on porphyry copper-gold exploration in western North America. The company's Todd Creek project, located in BC's Golden Triangle, adjoins Newmont Corp's Brucejack Gold Mine and Seabridge Gold's KSM-Iron Cap Cu-Au deposits. In 2023, a $2.8 million program funded by Freeport-McMoRan aimed to identify copper-gold mineralized centers at Todd Creek. The 2023 exploration plan included geophysics, geological mapping, and geochemical sampling, outlining compelling targets across Ice Creek, Fall Creek, Yellow Bowl, South Zone, and South Ridge zones.
ArcWest Exploration has signed an option agreement to acquire 100% interest in the Lemare Copper-Gold Project, a 3,274-hectare property in northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The project is located within the Jurassic Bonanza Group volcanic arc, approximately 30 km south of BHP's past-producing Island Copper mine.
The property features multiple copper-gold-molybdenum occurrences across a 5x3 km area, with historical sampling revealing high-grade copper mineralization up to 5.96% Cu. The project includes nine MINFILE occurrences and extensive hydrothermal alteration zones. ArcWest can earn full ownership through staged payments totaling $195,000 over five years, with a minimum expenditure requirement of $100,000 in the first year.
The company currently has $2.53 million in treasury and expects additional option payments totaling $325,000.
