Vancouver, British Columbia — November 6, 2025 — Leads & Copy — ArcWest Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AWX) has updated its 2025 copper-gold (Cu-Au) exploration programs, advancing seven projects in British Columbia’s porphyry copper-gold districts through its project generator model.
As of October 21, 2025, ArcWest reported a treasury of $3.28 million. The company noted it has no warrants, significant insider ownership, and a low burn rate. As of November 3rd, 2025, the company’s market capitalization was $10.9 million.
The company’s 100%-owned Todd Creek Cu-Au project in BC’s Golden Triangle is being funded by Freeport-McMoRan Mineral Properties Canada per an earn-in agreement from March 10, 2023.
A total of 4614 meters of drilling was completed at Todd Creek in 2025, fully funded by Freeport. Assay data has been received and is under review, with planning underway for a 2026 exploration program.
ArcWest has acquired mineral claims covering the proposed tailings facility site for Pacific Booker’s advanced stage Morrison porphyry Cu-Au project in BC’s Babine district. These new claims are located 1 km southwest of American Eagle’s Nak Cu-Au project, which is being advanced with funding from Teck and South32. ArcWest’s Sparrowhawk claims also cover proposed sites for tailings and waste management facilities for Glencore’s past-producing Bell-Granisle mines, which host significant Cu-Au resources. Resources at Bell and Morrison remain open at depth, and neither deposit has undergone deep drill testing for high-grade cores. ArcWest’s Sparrowhawk claims contain multiple targets for Bell-Granisle-Morrison-like porphyry Cu-Au systems. 2025 fieldwork at Sparrowhawk included soil geochemical surveys near the recently discovered SW2 target on Amarc Resources’ Duke project, which is being advanced with funding from Boliden Minerals Canada.
Presentations were delivered to potential funding partners for unoptioned ArcWest projects. Property tours were completed at ArcWest’s Lemare and Teeta Creek porphyry Cu-Mo-Au projects in northern Vancouver Island, situated approximately 30 km south of Northisle Copper’s North Island porphyry Cu-Au project.
ArcWest’s 100%-owned, 21,700-hectare Todd Creek Cu-Au project adjoins Newmont Corporation’s Brucejack Gold Mine property and is located approximately 40 km southeast of Seabridge Gold’s KSM-Iron Cap Cu-Au deposits. The 2025 Todd Creek exploration program, included a 9-drill hole program testing Cu-Au targets in the Orange Mountain, Fall Creek, Ice Creek, Yellow Bowl and South Zone target areas.
The 31,077-hectare Oweegee Cu-Au project is situated approximately 45 km east of Seabridge Gold’s KSM-Iron Cap porphyry Cu-Au deposits and Tudor Gold’s Treaty Creek Au-Ag-Cu project. The Oweegee Dome Cu-Au project is jointly owned (60%-40%) by Goldstrike Resources and ArcWest Exploration, respectively. The Oweegee project contains multiple untested porphyry Cu-Au targets. The undrilled Tarn target area hosts a 1.5 km long gossan and recently discovered polymetallic, magnetite rich skarn mineralization.
ArcWest’s Sparrowhawk project surrounds Glencore Canada’s past-producing Bell and Granisle open pit mines and extends to the north, covering the proposed tailings facility site for Pacific Booker’s Morrison project. Significant Cu-Au resources remain at Bell and Granisle, including 378 Mt indicated @ 0.36% Cu and 0.15 g/t Au and 85 Mt inferred @ 0.29% Cu and 0.13 g/t Au (Glencore 2023 Resources and Reserves report, p. 12). The Morrison Cu-Au deposit has a proven plus probable reserve of 224.25 Mt with an average grade of 0.33% Cu, 0.163 g/t Au and 0.004% Mo in addition to inferred resources totaling 56 Mt 0.40% Cu, 0.21g Au/t and 0.005% Mo (Robertson et al, 2009). ArcWest’s mineral claims cover proposed sites for waste and tailings management facilities for a potential Bell restart and the proposed tailings facility site for the Morrison project. American Eagle’s Nak porphyry Cu-Au project is situated only 1 km to the northeast of ArcWest’s newly staked Morrison tailings site claims. Sparrowhawk also adjoins Amarc Resources’ Duke porphyry Cu-Au project.
ArcWest’s road accessible, 100% owned 2,530 hectare Eagle project is situated in the heart of BC’s Quesnel trough copper-gold porphyry belt mid-way between the Mt. Milligan copper-gold mine of Centerra Gold and the Kwanika copper-gold development project of Northwest Copper. The Eagle project is fully permitted for drilling and is available for option. Cu-Au mineralized magmatic-hydrothermal breccias at Eagle are exposed in multiple areas throughout the property.
ArcWest’s Lemare Cu-Au project is situated in northern Vancouver Island, approximately 30 km south of two significant porphyry Cu-Au deposits, including BHP’s past producing Island Copper mine and Northisle Copper’s PEA stage North Island Cu-Au project. A broad zone of argillic and advanced argillic alteration (pyrophyllite±kaolinite±diaspore±zunyite), at the South Gossan Zone (“SGZ”) is interpreted as a remnant lithocap to a porphyry system. 2025 activities at Lemare included multiple site visits for the purposes of establishing access, validating historical data, relocating historical showings, and conducting property tours for potential partners.
ArcWest’s Teeta Creek porphyry Cu-Mo-Au-Ag project is situated in northern Vancouver Island approximately 30 km south of two significant porphyry Cu-Mo-Au deposits, including BHP’s Island Copper mine and Northisle Copper’s North Island Cu-Au project. A subsequent induced polarization geophysical survey identified a strong, open ended (> 40 mV/V) chargeability anomaly beneath the undrilled stockwork zone that extends to the north and south. 2025 activities at Teeta included permit renewal and property tours for potential partners.
ArcWest’s Rip copper-molybdenum (Cu-Mo) project is situated in central British Columbia approximately 30 km northeast of Imperial Metals’ Huckleberry mine and Surge Copper’s Ootsa and Berg projects. The project is currently being advanced with funding from Copper Quest Exploration as per the Rip earn-in agreement (see ArcWest press release, December 8th, 2023). First phase drill testing at Rip in 2024 has confirmed that a covered geophysical anomaly at the North target defines a Cu-Mo mineralized porphyry system. ArcWest looks forward to working with Copper Quest to explore these targets in 2026, which is anticipated to include a minimum 2000 m drill program (see Copper Quest press release, October 14th, 2025).

Investors are cautioned that ArcWest Exploration Inc. has not verified the data from the KSM-Iron Cap, Brucejack, Bell-Granisle, Morrison, Island Copper and North Island deposits. Further, the presence and style of mineralization on these properties is not necessarily indicative of similar mineralization on the ArcWest Exploration Inc. property.
