Right Industry, Right Time
Increase in adoption and manufacturing of advanced technologies combined with geopolitical factors fuels unprecedented demand for increased domestic production.
Growth Driven Jurisdictions
Ameriwest’s properties are located within areas of known resources and increasingly mining-friendly regulatory frameworks.
Focused Concept and Defined Capitalization
Attractive share structure to achieve objectives, with follow-on focus on capital efficiency and risk mitigation.
Experienced Management
A team with substantial experience in finance & mining, and with prior experience in developing mining projects from grass-roots to divesture to major mining companies.
There is intense interest in the western regions for the exploration and development of high value mineral projects. Exploration has increased dramatically with the metal price increases over the last few years, with price increases looking to continue for the foreseeable future due to the gap between supply and demand. New mines continue moving toward production.
The increasing promise of new discoveries and the development and funding of new mines and processing facilities by both the public and private sectors is driving excitement and investment across the region. Potential for new discoveries has increased significantly to meet growing economic and political demands.
Ameriwest has already assembled a diverse portfolio of 4 prospective projects across the region. The next step is to advance these properties through exploration with the goal of defining and developing our mineral resource holdings.
