NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NorthWest Copper Corp. ("NorthWest" or "the Company") (TSXV:NWST) is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement financing of up to 2,000,000 units at a price of $0.25 per unit (a "Unit") for gross proceeds of up to $500,000 (the "Private Placement"). Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one non-transferable Common Share purchase warrant (each a "Warrant"), with each Warrant exercisable to purchase one additional Common Share for a period of 2 years from the date of closing at an exercise price of $0.30.
