PERTH, Australia, July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — New Frontier Minerals Limited (ASX: NFM; OTCID: NFMXF) announced that assay results from its May 2026 field programs at the Mt. Storm Copper prospect, part of the company’s NWQ Copper Project in the Mount Isa Inlier of north-west Queensland, Australia, confirmed coper values for pit and dump samples ranging from 0.49% to 6.88% Cu.
Further copper testing via sequential leach analysis confirmed high recoveries for the sulphuric acid-soluble copper component, supporting potential amenability to conventional acid-leach processing.

Historical small-scale mining at Mt. Storm extracted approximately 1,100 tons of ore at a head grade of circa 6% Cu, with historical pit sampling returning up to 10.4% Cu. The company said that follow-up site visit, including detailed geological mapping, will assist in the development of a future drill program, as the company believes these results present a compelling target for drilling.
