Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 7, 2023) - ArcWest Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AWX) ("ArcWest") is pleased to announce that a 3D induced polarization ("IP") survey has commenced at its 100% owned Teeta Creek Project, northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Dias Geophysical has been engaged to complete an IP survey over an untested zone of stockwork porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold-silver ("Cu-Mo-Au-Ag") mineralization delineated in 2022. The 2023 program, using Dias Geophysical's distributed array deep IP ("DCIP") survey system, should provide the first modern, high quality, and high-resolution 3-D resistivity and chargeability model of the subsurface below the stockwork zone. The stockwork zone ("Gap zone"), situated at the lowest elevations on the property, is located within an approximately 400 m wide undrilled gap between the two best historical drill holes on the property. The Gap zone is hosted by intensely quartz-sericite-pyrite altered quartz-feldspar-biotite porphyritic intrusions. Potential therefore exists beneath the Gap zone for the discovery of a higher grade, Cu-Mo-Au mineralized potassic core. A video of the untested stockwork zone is available for viewing here. A technical presentation for the Teeta Creek project is available for download from ArcWest's website.
