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.

Boost Run $BRUN granted 6.23M RSUs in Q3, 7.4% of its 84.2M shares outstanding, and will expense $103.4M for them over a weighted-average 3 years, a cost its adjusted EBITDA excludes. The 6.23M includes the 4.59M granted to the CFO, CTO, and COO on September 29, and the 10-Q doesn't name who got the other 1.64M. Q3's stock comp was only $0.25M, since most of the RSUs came on September 29. $BRUN's adjusted EBITDA adds stock comp back, so from Q4 it will exclude ~$8.6M/quarter of RSU expense on average, equal to 47.9% of Q3's $18.0M of adjusted EBITDA. And $BRUN's 2026 equity plan still has 2,986,298 shares left to grant, another 3.5% of the shares outstanding. The bear, base, and bull cases in my October 19 update counted 88.8M fully diluted shares, including only the executives' 4.59M RSUs. The full 6.23M takes the count to 90.4M, which trims each case's per-share value by 1.8%.

Bulls N’ Bears, an Australian investment news site, called American West Metals’ $AWMLF new exploration target at its Storm copper project in Arctic Canada a “monster maiden exploration target.” The maiden exploration target estimates 110-214Mt @ 0.59-1.02% copper outside the current resource, or 646,000t to 2.2Mt of contained copper (2.3-7.9x Storm’s 276,000t resource). An exploration target is a range of what an area could hold before there’s enough drilling to estimate a resource, and $AWMLF calls its own “conceptual in nature.” Here’s where the seven target areas sit relative to Storm’s existing deposits (in red), with Chevron ~30km south in the inset. But most of the target rests on Storm’s existing deposits used as templates, or on little to no drilling: → Deeps Zone and Central Graben (345,000-777,000t): Assumes three more deposits the size of Cyclone, Storm’s largest, one below Cyclone and two in the Central Graben, backed by 14 widely spaced holes. → SE Stratabound and SE Structural (164,000-369,000t): Sized from three existing deposits (Chinook, Lightning Ridge, and Corona) ±20%, assumed to repeat down to ~300m below surface, plus nearby ground tested by 17 broadly spaced holes. → Tornado (95,000-859,000t): Largely unexplored ground 5km east of the deposits, where the two intercepts the release lists grade just 0.12-0.14% copper. → Chevron (14,000-123,000t): ~30km south of the deposits, with no holes drilled yet. The best intercepts in the Deeps Zone and Central Graben also start more than 300m down the hole, far deeper than the open pits the pre-feasibility study (PFS) plans. Even the extensions of the existing resource (28,000-64,000t), the part of the target closest to the deposits, grade 0.53-0.80% copper, below the reserve’s 1.2%. Managing director Dave O’Neill plans to develop Storm first and fund growth from it, since an operating mine “is expected to significantly reduce the costs of exploration,” he said in the release. So I don’t attach any value to the exploration target. It shows where $AWMLF plans to drill and run geophysical surveys in 2027, but little of it would add years to the PFS mine.
