American West Metals (ASX:AW1) has revealed a major copper discovery at the Storm project in Canada. Diamond drilling of a large gravity target has intersected thick intervals of copper sulphides, reports the company.
The discovery is being compared with major sediment-hosted copper systems, including the deposits of the Kalahari Copper Belt and Central African Copper Belt.
American West Metals MD Dave O’Neill said: “We are very excited to announce that the diamond drilling has had immediate success and produced spectacular results confirming the presence of a major copper system within the Storm Project.
“These outstanding results are the product of systematic and persistent exploration, and further highlight the quality and huge exploration potential of the landholding.”
Meanwhile, healthcare stock BCAL Diagnostics (ASX:BDX), which is helping develop a novel blood screening test for diagnosis and monitoring of breast cancer, is up today after some breakthrough results.
It’s reportedly a major step towards commercialisation of BCAL’s breast cancer diagnostic test, coming from the firm’s Precion US study. According to a company statement, the analysis undertaken achieved an impressive sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 85.5%.
