American West Metals $AWMLF had just ~1.6 quarters of cash left as of September 30 to fund Storm, its copper project in Arctic Canada. Its spending starts with the 2027 program of resource and geotechnical drilling, metallurgical test work, final engineering, and a sealift of fuel and supplies. Cash was AUD$5.45M (~US$3.8M) as of September 30, 1.58 quarters of funding at the September quarter’s AUD$3.45M operating outflow. Management expects spending to fall and isn’t planning a raise, but with the definitive feasibility study (DFS) still ahead, I’d expect a placement (a stock sale to selected investors) within the next two quarters. At AUD$0.029, a placement would price at least 35.6% below the AUD$0.045 of the last two, in October 2025 and May 2026. One the size of May’s (AUD$10M) at AUD$0.025, 13.8% below today’s price, would add 400M shares, 32.5% of the 1,229.6M count. The 371M listed options, struck at AUD$0.06 and expiring August 18, 2027, would bring in AUD$22.3M if exercised, but the stock would have to more than double first. Taurus Mining Royalty Fund, which bought a royalty on Storm, only pays its final US$4M (US$3.2M for $AWMLF’s 80%) once the resource reaches 400,000t of copper at 1.00% or better. Storm’s resource is unchanged at 276,000t, so reaching the milestone takes ~124,000t more, and the exploration target won’t count until drilling turns part of it into a resource. So a ~US$25M company has to fund ~US$55M of Storm’s build, and before that, pay for the DFS, most likely with placements priced below the last two.

I calculated how much of the Storm copper project’s build American West Metals $AWMLF has to fund beyond a US$40M loan from Storm’s future copper buyer, after its new pre-feasibility study (PFS). Ocean Partners, the metals trader that holds Storm’s offtake (the right to buy all of its output), agreed in April 2025 to lend up to US$40M of the initial capex defined by the PEA (Storm’s first-pass study) through a senior secured loan, subject to a bankable feasibility study and a final investment decision (FID). The loan covered 84.4% of the PEA’s US$47.4M, and covers 49.4% of the PFS’s US$81.0M. Counting pre-development, the part of Storm’s US$108.3M pre-production cost that the loan doesn’t cover tripled to US$68.3M from US$22.1M. $AWMLF’s 80% of the US$68.3M gap is ~US$55M, more than twice its ~US$24.6M market cap. The PFS lists offtake prepayments, project debt, build-own-operate deals, and Canadian critical minerals programs as non-dilutive options. Its cash flow model also counts a ~US$24M refund from Canada’s 30% clean technology manufacturing tax credit, but the refund only arrives in the second year of production, after construction. Aston Bay Holdings (TSXV: BAY), which owns the other 20% of Storm, only starts funding its share after the DFS (the next, more detailed study) and the FID, so $AWMLF pays for everything until then. After the FID, Aston Bay’s 20% of the gap is ~US$14M, more than its own ~US$11M market cap. If Aston Bay doesn’t pay, its stake gets diluted, and below 10% it turns into a 2% royalty. So $AWMLF may end up funding more than 80% of the build, and its stake in Storm would grow as well.
