In an exciting development for the mining industry, NorthWest Copper (NWST) has appointed Paul Olmsted as its new Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board of Directors. With over 30 years of experience in the mining sector, Olmsted brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table, setting the stage for a new era of growth and success for NorthWest Copper.

Olmsted's impressive track record speaks for itself. As the Chief Financial Officer of Superior Gold Inc., he played a pivotal role in the acquisition of an intermediate gold producer, followed by an initial public offering and ultimately leading the company through a business combination sale. Prior to that, he served as the Senior Vice President, Corporate Development of IAMGOLD Corporation, leading the company's business development activities with total transactions valued at nearly C$10 billion.



Olmsted's extensive background in project evaluation, development, financing, and strategic leadership aligns perfectly with NorthWest Copper's commitment to advancing its high-quality copper and gold assets in British Columbia. His expertise will be invaluable in driving the company's exploration and development efforts, particularly at the Kwanika-Stardust and Lorraine-Top Cat projects.

At Kwanika-Stardust, Olmsted can oversee high-grade near-surface targets and deep large-tonnage potentials, while at Lorraine-Top Cat, he can advance regional prospects and drill test high conviction targets. His proven ability to lead complex projects and unlock the full potential of resources will be a significant asset to NorthWest Copper.



Under Olmsted's guidance, NorthWest Copper is well-positioned to capitalize on the strengthening global copper market. With a robust pipeline of advanced and early-stage projects in a tier one jurisdiction, the company is poised to participate fully in the growing demand for copper, a critical component in the shift towards renewable energy and electrification.

Moreover, Olmsted's strategic leadership will enable him to navigate the complexities of the mining industry, ensuring that NorthWest Copper remains at the forefront of sustainable development and delivers value for all stakeholders. His commitment to responsible mineral exploration and collaboration with First Nations will further strengthen the company's relationships with local communities and ensure a harmonious balance between business and environmental stewardship.

In conclusion, Paul Olmsted's appointment as CEO of NorthWest Copper marks the beginning of a new chapter for the company. With his extensive experience in project evaluation and development, as well as his proven track record in financing and strategic leadership, Olmsted is the ideal candidate to drive NorthWest Copper's growth and expansion. As the company moves forward, investors can expect a renewed focus on exploration and development, positioning NorthWest Copper as a key player in the global copper market.
