Arizona Metals Corp. (TSX.V:AMC, OTCQX:AZMCF) (the “Company” or
“Arizona Metals”) is pleased to announce that it has received
permit approval from the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) for a
drill pad, located approximately 200 m west of the Kay Mine deposit
(pad 7 in Figure 1 below). This new pad will allow for testing of
the Central Target (Figure 2), which was previously defined based
on coincident structural, geochemical, and geophysical anomalies
(Figure 3). The Company has planned an initial program at the
Central Target of up to 20 holes totaling 11,000 m. Drilling on the
first hole is currently underway. The Company has also submitted
applications to the BLM for additional drill pads located west of
the Central Target (pads C1 and C2 in Figure 1), which will allow
for drill testing of the Central Target from the west side, while
also allowing for drilling of additional coincident anomalies
located between the Central and Western Targets.

Arizona Metals is also pleased to report that 4,909,999 common
share purchase warrants, issued on April 22nd, 2021 with an
exercise price of $3.00, were exercised prior to their April 22nd,
2022 expiry, with the result that the Company now has 111,372,104
common shares issued and outstanding. The exercise generated gross
proceeds of $14,729,997, resulting in an increase of AMC’s working
capital position to $65 million.
Marc Pais, CEO, commented “We are very pleased to
announce that pad 7 was successfully permitted and the first hole
of the initial 11,000 m Central Target program is already underway.
These first 20 holes planned will all target areas previously
untested by drilling, but that have many of the same
characteristics we see at the Kay Mine deposit. This also marks the
initiation of the larger, fully-funded Phase 3 program, which will
total at least 76,000 m and cover the western extent of the Kay
Mine Project. Two drill rigs continue to turn at the Kay Deposit,
with concurrent goals of discovery and resource definition. We
would also like to thank our shareholders for their continued
support; the warrant exercises completed last week have increased
the treasury to $65 million, and placed the Company on very strong
footing to undertake the first detailed exploration of the Central
and Western Targets in the known history of the property.”
The Company has completed a total of 54,000 meters at the Kay
Mine since inception of drilling. The Company is fully-funded to
complete the remaining 21,000 meters planned for the Phase 2
program with the priority focus areas for upcoming drilling, as
well as an additional 76,000 meters in the upcoming Phase 3 program
(including the 11,000 m announced for the Central Target today)
which will be used to test the numerous parallel targets heading
West of Kay and the Northern and Southern Extensions of the Kay
Deposit. There are currently 21 holes pending results from drilling
at the Kay Mine deposit.
About Arizona Metals Corp
Arizona Metals Corp owns 100% of the Kay Mine Property 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.” The
historic estimate at the Kay Mine 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 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.
