Recent press releases and 8-K filings for NWE.
- NorthWest Copper Corp. announced high-grade drill results from its 2025 program at the Kwanika project, highlighted by an intercept in hole K-25-283 within the Central Zone of 43 metres grading 1.83% Cu and 1.28g/t Au (3.01% copper equivalent) and a significant near-surface intercept in K-25-273 of 123 metres grading 1.31% Cu and 0.83g/t Au (2.09% CuEq).
- These results are expected to support a more capital-efficient and economically robust open pit and underground development plan in an updated preliminary economic assessment (PEA), improving on the 2023 PEA.
- The 2025 exploration program is designed to confirm, define, and expand the Company's understanding of higher-grade copper-gold mineralization within the near-surface and underground portions of the current mineral resources.
- NorthWest Copper Corp. reported excellent near-surface drill results from two holes (K-25-265 and K-25-266) completed as part of its 2025 program at the Kwanika project in British Columbia.
- Hole K-25-266 delivered a highlight intercept of 59.8 metres grading 0.70% Cu and 0.95 g/t Au (1.57% copper equivalent) from 40.8 metres.
- These results successfully expanded Pit Zone 10 down-dip and defined a newly recognized Pit Zone 12, indicating that these zones remain open for further expansion along strike and down-dip.
- The company expects this work to support a higher-quality mineral resource estimate and lead to a more capital-efficient and economically robust development plan, improving on the 2023 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).
- NorthWest Copper Corp. announced positive drill results from three holes in its 2025 program at the Kwanika project in British Columbia.
- A highlight was an intercept in hole K-25-275 of 58 metres grading 0.96% Cu, 1.04 g/t Au (1.92% copper equivalent) from 94 metres.
- These results expanded the quality and continuity of higher-grade near-surface mineralization within the Pit Zones, with hole K-25-284 extending Pit Zone 10 along strike and down-dip where it remains open.
- The company believes these findings reinforce the potential for a high-grade starter pit to provide a strong economic base for a future Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), aiming to improve upon the 2023 PEA.
- NorthWestern Energy reaffirmed its adjusted 2025 non-GAAP earnings guidance range of $3.53 to $3.65 per diluted share, which represents 4% to 7% EPS growth from the 2024 non-GAAP base year.
- The company provided an update on its all-stock Merger of Equals with Black Hills Corporation, with joint applications filed with regulatory commissions in Montana, Nebraska, and South Dakota, and a FERC filing expected in Q4 2025. This merger is anticipated to increase the combined company target EPS growth rate to 5-7% and double the rate base to approximately $11 billion.
- NorthWestern Energy declared a dividend of $0.66 per share, payable on December 31, 2025.
- The company forecasts $2.74 billion in capital investment over the next five years (2025-2029), which is expected to drive 4% to 6% annualized earnings and rate base growth, with no equity expected to fund this plan.
- NorthWestern Energy Group, Inc.'s subsidiary, NorthWestern Corporation (NW Corp), issued an additional $100 million principal amount of Montana First Mortgage Bonds on November 7, 2025.
- These "Additional MT Bonds" have an interest rate of 5.073% per year, payable semi-annually, and will mature on March 21, 2030.
- This issuance brings the aggregate outstanding amount of NW Corp’s 2030 Notes to $500 million.
- NW Corp intends to use the net proceeds to fund future capital expenditures, finance working capital needs, and for general corporate purposes.
- NorthWest Copper Corp. announced standout assay results from the fourth drill hole (K-25-280) of its 2025 drilling program at the Kwanika project in British Columbia.
- Drill hole K-25-280 intersected 36 metres grading 0.80 % Cu, 3.21 g/t Au (3.67% copper equivalent) in the Central Zone, which is the best result from the 2025 drill program to date.
- CEO Paul Olmsted stated these results strengthen confidence in meaningfully enhancing the potential economics in an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) through targeting higher-grade zones.
- The company expects metallurgical test work results in the near-term and the next PEA in mid-2026.
- NorthWest Copper Corp. announced excellent assay results from the third drill hole, K-25-271, of its 2025 expanded diamond drilling program at the Kwanika project.
- The drill hole intersected 27.7 metres grading 1.23 % Cu, 1.53 g/t Au (2.63% copper equivalent) within the Central Zone, starting at 198.2 metres.
- These results support management's belief that the 2023 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) significantly understates the economic potential of the Kwanika project.
- Hole K-25-271 also indicated potential to fill a 100-metre gap between the Pit and Central Zones and extended the Western Zone down-dip and the low-grade mineralization around the Pit Zone by roughly 30 metres.
