TORONTO, June 26, 2023 /CNW/ – Arizona Metals Corp. (TSX: AMC) (OTCQX: AZMCF) (the “Company” or “Arizona Metals”) is pleased to announce the latest drilling results from its Kay Mine Deposit in Arizona.

Hole KM-23-106 intersected 25.0 meters grading 2.7% copper equivalent (CuEq), including 3.2 meters at 6.3% CuEq. At 17 m further downhole, this hole also intersected 49.2 meters at 2.4% CuEq (including 10.4 meters at 6.4% CuEq). At a further 10 m downhole, this hole also intersected 5.2 m at 1.0% CuEq. This hole confirms the high-grade copper and gold mineralization previously encountered in hole KM-21-21A, located 30 meters above, which intersected 63 m grading 4.2 g/t AuEq. Moreover, it continues the mineralization 30 meters above hole KM-22-41, which intersected 96.7 m grading 2.9% CuEq.

In addition to these promising results, drilling at the Western Target has been ongoing since February 2023. The first four holes, KM-23-104, branch hole KM-23-104A, KM-23-107, and KM-23-108 have been completed, and assays are currently pending. In order to continue testing the strike extent of the West Target, hole KM-23-109 is targeting an area approximately 150 meters south of KM-23-104. Hole KM-23-110 will target the area between holes KM-23-104 and KM-23-107, with the goal of testing beneath recently reported high-grade surface samples (see Fig. 5).

The drill rig at the Kay Mine Deposit is targeting extensions of the high-grade mineralization encountered in hole KM-23-103, which intersected 10.5 m grading 6.2% CuEq. This rig will also focus on areas with lower drill density, including the northern part of the deposit and shallow areas above a depth of 200 meters (see Fig. 3).  The Company intends to drill test all areas open to expansion. See Figure 3 for priority target areas for drilling.  Independent consulting firms have been engaged to model drill data as holes are completed and assays become available. The Company intends to complete drilling of all priority targets before finalizing a maiden resource estimate.

Marc Pais, CEO, commented “The high-grade copper and gold drill results reported today continue to demonstrate the expansion potential of the Kay Mine Deposit, which we believe is part of a much larger property-wide mineralized system. We are also pleased to report that drilling of the fifth and sixth holes at the Western Target has commenced, following up visual mineralization previously reported in holes 104 and 104A. Downhole electromagnetic surveying of the first two Western Target holes has been completed and data are currently being analyzed. Surface outcrop sampling at the Western Target has returned significant grades of both copper and gold, extending the strike length of mineralization exposed at surface in this area to approximately 800 meters.”

With the completion of recent drill holes, Arizona Metals has drilled a total of 83,400 meters on the Kay property, and successfully completed its Phase 2 drill program of 75,000 meters. The Company is fully-funded (with $49 million in cash as of March 31, 2023) to complete the remaining 75,000 m of the 76,000-meter Phase 3 program (budgeted at $31.5 million), which will be used to test the numerous parallel targets heading west of the Kay Mine Deposit, as well as possible northern and southern extensions.

Permitting Update

The Company currently has 11 drill pads permitted through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under a Notice of Intent to Explore. All permits are fully bonded and in good standing. Last week BLM staff conducted an annual inspection of the Kay project, verifying that the Company is in compliance with all permitted activities. Recently completed structural mapping and soil sampling programs have identified a number of new, highly prospective targets not previously located by geophysical methods. The Company is currently mapping a number of new drill pads to test these targets and will be applying to the BLM for an Exploration Plan of Operations. This more expansive permit will allow for additional roads and drill pads giving the Company the ability to test these additional targets.

West Target Surface Sampling

Recent surface mapping and sampling on the West target (Figure 5) has extended the mineralized horizon that was drilled in holes 104 and 104A and previously sampled at surface, where it returned 8.6% Cu. Nine new surface samples all returned percent-grade Cu, up to 4.9% Cu, and averaging 2.9% Cu. These samples also contained anomalous Au, up to 0.5 g/t Au. The surface strike length of mineralization exposed at surface in this area is now approximately 800 m. These surface samples suggest increasing intensity of mineralization to the north; along with data gathered in the drill holes completed and underway, these results will be used to refine drill targeting on the West Target.

The true width of mineralization is estimated to be 50% to 99% of reported core width, with an average of 76%. (2) Assumptions used in USD for the copper and gold metal equivalent calculations were metal prices of $4.63/lb Copper, $1937/oz Gold, $25/oz Silver, $1.78/lb Zinc, and $1.02/lb Pb. Assumed metal recoveries (rec.), based on a preliminary review of historic data by SRK and ProcessIQ1, were 93% for copper, 92% for zinc, 90% for lead, 72% silver, and 70% for gold. The following equation was used to calculate copper equivalence: CuEq = Copper (%) (93% rec.) + (Gold (g/t) x 0.61)(72% rec.) + (Silver (g/t) x 0.0079)(72% rec.) + (Zinc (%) x 0.3844)(93% rec.) +(Lead (%) x 0.2203)(93% rec.). The following equation was used to calculate gold equivalence: AuEq = Gold (g/t)(72% rec.) + (Copper (%) x 1.638)(93% rec.) + (Silver (g/t) x 0.01291)(72% rec.) + (Zinc (%) x 0.6299)(93% rec.) +(Lead (%) x 0.3609)(93% rec.). Analyzed metal equivalent calculations are reported for illustrative purposes only. The metal chosen for reporting on an equivalent basis is the one that contributes the most dollar value after accounting for assumed recoveries.

The true width of mineralization is estimated to be 50% to 99% of reported core width, with an average of 76%. (2) Assumptions used in USD for the copper and gold metal equivalent calculations were metal prices of $4.63/lb Copper, $1937/oz Gold, $25/oz Silver, $1.78/lb Zinc, and $1.02/lb Pb. Assumed metal recoveries (rec.), based on a preliminary review of historic data by SRK and ProcessIQ2, were 93% for copper, 92% for zinc, 90% for lead, 72% silver, and 70% for gold. The following equation was used to calculate copper equivalence: CuEq = Copper (%) (93% rec.) + (Gold (g/t) x 0.61)(72% rec.) + (Silver (g/t) x 0.0079)(72% rec.) + (Zinc (%) x 0.3844)(93% rec.) +(Lead (%) x 0.2203)(93% rec.). The following equation was used to calculate gold equivalence: AuEq = Gold (g/t)(72% rec.) + (Copper (%) x 1.638)(93% rec.) + (Silver (g/t) x 0.01291)(72% rec.) + (Zinc (%) x 0.6299)(93% rec.) +(Lead (%) x 0.3609)(93% rec.). Analyzed metal equivalent calculations are reported for illustrative purposes only. The metal chosen for reporting on an equivalent basis is the one that contributes the most dollar value after accounting for assumed recoveries.

About Arizona Metals Corp

Arizona Metals Corp owns 100% of the Kay Mine Project in Yavapai County, which is located on a combination of patented and BLM claims totaling 1,300 acres that are not subject to any royalties. An historic estimate by Exxon Minerals in 1982 reported a “proven and probable reserve of 6.4 million short tons at a grade of 2.2% copper, 2.8 g/t gold, 3.03% zinc, and 55 g/t silver.” (Fellows, M.L., 1982, Kay Mine massive sulfide deposit: Internal report prepared for Exxon Minerals Company, November 1982, 29 p.) The historic estimate at the Kay Mine Deposit was reported by Exxon Minerals in 1982. The historic estimate has not been verified as a current mineral resource. None of the key assumptions, parameters, and methods used to prepare the historic estimate were reported, and no resource categories were used.  Significant data compilation, re-drilling and data verification may be required by a “qualified person” (as defined in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects) before the historic estimate can be verified and upgraded to be a current mineral resource. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify it as a current mineral resource, and Arizona Metals is not treating the historic estimate as a current mineral resource.

The Kay Mine Deposit is a steeply dipping VMS deposit that has been defined from a depth of 60 m to at least 900 m. It is open for expansion on strike and at depth.

The Company also owns 100% of the Sugarloaf Peak Property, in La Paz County, which is located on 4,400 acres of BLM claims. Sugarloaf is a heap-leach, open-pit target and has a historic estimate of “100 million tons containing 1.5 million ounces gold” at a grade of 0.5 g/t (Dausinger, 1983, Westworld Resources).

The historic estimate at the Sugarloaf Peak Property was reported by Westworld Resources in 1983. The historic estimate has not been verified as a current mineral resource. None of the key assumptions, parameters, and methods used to prepare the historic estimate were reported, and no resource categories were used.  Significant data compilation, re-drilling and data verification may be required by a qualified person before the historic estimate can be verified and upgraded to a current mineral resource. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify it as a current mineral resource, and Arizona Metals is not treating the historic estimate as a current mineral resource.

Qualified Person and Quality Assurance/Quality Control

All of Arizona Metals’ drill sample assay results have been independently monitored through a quality assurance/quality control (“QA/QC”) protocol which includes the insertion of blind standard reference materials and blanks at regular intervals. Logging and sampling were completed at Arizona Metals’ core handling facilities located in Phoenix and Black Canyon City, Arizona. Drill core was diamond sawn on site and half drill-core samples were securely transported to ALS Laboratories’ (“ALS”) sample preparation facility in Tucson, Arizona. Sample pulps were sent to ALS’s labs in Vancouver, Canada, for analysis.

Gold content was determined by fire assay of a 30-gram charge with ICP finish (ALS method Au-AA23). Silver and 32 other elements were analyzed by ICP methods with four-acid digestion (ALS method ME-ICP61a). Over-limit samples for Au, Ag, Cu, and Zn were determined by ore-grade analyses Au-GRA21, Ag-OG62, Cu-OG62, and Zn-OG62, respectively.

ALS Laboratories is independent of Arizona Metals Corp. and its Vancouver facility is ISO 17025 accredited. ALS also performed its own internal QA/QC procedures to assure the accuracy and integrity of results. Parameters for ALS’ internal and Arizona Metals’ external blind quality control samples were acceptable for the samples analyzed. Arizona Metals is not aware of any drilling, sampling, recovery, or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data referred to herein.
