Arizona Metals Corp’s Kay Mine Drilling Intersects 39.0 m at 4.2 g/t AuEq (incl. 7.2 m at 6.0 g/t AuEq and 9.8m at 6.1 g/t AuEq) and 7.9 m at 4.0% CuEq

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$copper #copper–Arizona Metals Corp. (TSXV:AMC, OTCQX:AZMCF) (the “Company” or “Arizona Metals”) is pleased to announce the results of seven recently completed drill holes at its Kay Mine project in Yavapai, County Arizona.


Drilling Highlights

  • Hole KM-21-74 intersected 39.0 m at a grade of 4.2 g/t AuEq, from a depth of 649 m downhole, including higher-grade intervals of 7.2 m grading 6.0 g/t AuEq and 9.8 m grading 6.1 g/t AuEq. This hole demonstrates excellent continuity of mineralization in the 80 m gap between holes 25 (78.6 m grading 5.9 g/t AuEq) and 25B.
  • KM-21-79 intersected 7.9 m grading 4.0% CuEq from 682 m. This is a step-out hole to the south, which extended mineralization about 60 m south of hole KM-21-25B along the southern edge of the deposit. Mineralization is open to the south in this area.

Marc Pais, CEO, commented “Drilling at the Kay Mine Project continues to intersect very large widths and high grades of massive sulphide mineralization. The holes released today demonstrate excellent continuity of mineralization in all directions, while also showing that mineralization is substantially thicker than suggested by our original modelling. Drilling has extended mineralization well into both the hanging-wall and foot-wall envelopes, which gives the potential to define a significant tonnage of mineralization. The large widths and high grades being encountered at Kay are extremely rare in the context of VMS deposits either in production or being explored globally.

We have drilled approximately 70,000 meters at Kay to date, with each hole solidifying our opinion that this is one of the very few large precious-metals rich VMS deposits not yet mined, and more importantly, is potentially part of a much larger mineralized system that has yet to be explored.

Road construction is well underway to reach drill locations that will test the Central Target, located 300 m west of the Kay Mine Deposit. Drilling at pads C1 and C2 is expected to commence in November 2022, and will comprise part of the planned 76,000 metre Phase 3 program. Permitting is also in progress for pads W1 and W2 to test the Western Target, also part of the Phase 3 program.

The Company is fast approaching an inflection point in our drilling strategy. Over the last two years we have focused on expanding the Kay Mine Deposit, which covers only 320 m of strike. This represents only 3% of the 11,000 m of prospectively mineralized geological contact horizon defined by extensive surface mapping, soil geochemistry, airborne and ground electromagnetic surveys, and gravity surveys. Completion of the Central Target drill road and pads, with drilling anticipated to commence in November, will mark a shift in focus from expanding Kay, to also aggressively drill-testing our claims to the west to discover new VMS deposits. The Phase 3 program will entail 76,000 m of drilling at an anticipated cost of $27 million. Work will continue at the Kay Mine Deposit to define a resource, in conjunction with associated hydrological, rock geochemistry, metallurgical, and specific gravity studies, but we anticipate that over the next 18 months approximately 90% of our budget will go towards exploration south, north, and west of the Kay Mine Deposit.

Kay Mine Phase 2 Drill Program Update

With the assayed holes released today, the Company has completed a total of 70,000 meters at the Kay Mine since inception of drilling. The Company is fully-funded to complete the remaining 19,000 meters planned for the Phase 2 program with the priority focus areas for upcoming drilling (shown in Figure 1 above) as well as an additional 76,000 meters in the upcoming Phase 3 program (Figures 3 and 4 below).

Kay Mine Phase 3 Drill Program Update – Moving to Central and Western Targets

The Phase 3 drill program will test the numerous parallel targets heading west of Kay, as well as the possible northern and southern extensions of the Kay Deposit. The road toward the Central Target (located 300 m west of the Kay Deposit) is underway, with drilling at the Central Target pads expected to commence during November 2022.

A total of six holes were drilled to the west from pad 7 (see Figure 3), but due to the westerly dip of the stratigraphy and the Central Target EM anomaly, these holes did not fully test the Central Target. Results from these six holes, along with updated structural mapping and ground-loop EM geophysics, will be used to refine the drill targeting from pads C1 and C2. The location of these pads will provide much better angles to intersect the core of the Central Target, while also testing for its extensions north and south on strike of the mafic-felsic contact that potentially hosts mineralization.

Permitting is in progress for drill pads at the Western Target (W1 and W2, located ~1,000 m west of the Kay Deposit), with road construction anticipated to commence in Q4’22 and drilling in Q1’23.

Graduation from TSXV to the Toronto Stock Exchange

The common shares of the Company have been listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) since August 7, 2019 under the symbol “AMC”. The Company has received approval to graduate its listing to the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”), and the Company’s common shares will begin trading on the TSX on October 13, 2022, and will be delisted from the TSXV upon commencement of trading on the TSX. The Company’s trading symbol (AMC) and CUSIP will remain the same and no action is required by shareholders.

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.
