mineralization is estimated to be 50% to 99% of reported core
width, with an average of 76%. (Photo: Business Wire)
Drilling Highlights
- Hole KM-21-60 intersected 93.3 m at a grade of 8.3 g/t
AuEq, including a higher-grade interval of 17.5 m grading
29.6 g/t AuEq, from a depth of 557 m. This hole is in the
central portion of the deposit, and demonstrates excellent
continuity of mineralization between holes 26, 28, 25A, 57A and 40.
This hole returned the project’s highest single gold assay, a value
of 273 g/t Au (over 1.2 meters from 634.3 m downhole).
- Hole KM-21-57B intersected 125.3 m at a grade of 3.2%
CuEq, including higher grade intervals of 1.8 m grading 9.9%
CuEq and 7.3 m grading 7.7% CuEq, from a depth of 728 m. This
hole demonstrates continuity and extension of mineralization
between holes 26, 28, 25A, and 40, and 58B. Hole 57B contains the
project’s highest copper analysis to date, grading 20.7% Cu
(over 1.5 m from 802.2 m downhole).
Hole 60 has extended the thickness of the mineralized zone
encountered in hole 58B (located 23 metres up-plunge) by
approximately 5 metres into the hanging-wall and 10 metres in the
footwall. Hole 57B has extended the mineralized zone encountered in
hole 57A (located 33 metres up-plunge) by approximately 10 metres
into the hanging-wall and 22 metres into the footwall. Assays
received to date have intersected mineralization over a down-plunge
extent of 760 m (880 m below surface). Holes 57B and 60, spaced 310
metres apart down-plunge from the top of mineralization in 60 to
the bottom of mineralization in 57B, continue to demonstrate the
excellent vertical continuity of very thick zones of
mineralization.
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.
Hole 60 encountered the highest grade of gold mineralization at
Kay assayed to date, with visible gold in the core (Fig. 4 below)
while hole 57B encountered the longest interval of copper-dominant
mineralization assayed to date. Drilling is currently underway to
test for depth extensions to at least 1,200 meters, while also
testing for lateral extensions of the thick hinge zone. The 20
holes pending all encountered semi-massive or massive sulphide
mineralization, and those intersections are guiding the drilling
currently underway.
Holes 57B and 60, spaced 310 metres apart down-plunge from the
top of 60 to the bottom of 57B, continue to demonstrate the
excellent vertical continuity of very thick zones 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 52,000 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. To that end, we recently
completed a property-wide ground-loop electromagnetic survey, which
will serve to refine and improve the resolution of the Central and
Western targets, located approximately 300 meters and 1,000 meters
west of Kay, respectively. Drill pad and road permitting is
currently underway for these targets, with a detailed update
expected in the next few weeks.”
Kay Mine Phase 2 Drill Program Update
With the assayed holes released today, the Company has completed
a total of 52,000 meters at the Kay Mine since inception of
drilling. The Company is fully-funded to complete the remaining
23,000 meters planned for the Phase 2 program with the priority
focus areas for upcoming drilling (shown in Figure 5 below), as
well as an additional 76,000 meters in the upcoming Phase 3 program
which will be used to test the numerous parallel targets heading
West of Kay and the Northern and Southern Extensions of the Kay
Deposit.

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.
Table 3. Results of Phase 1 Drill Program at Kay Mine, Yavapai
County, Arizona. The true width of mineralization is estimated to
be 50% to 99% of reported core width, with an average of 80%.

Covid-19 Monitoring and Mitigation Procedures
The Company’s drill contractor, Boart Longyear, has instituted
Covid-19 monitoring procedures for all drill crew members,
including daily temperature and symptom checks. Arizona Metals Corp
will be provided with daily health tracking updates for the drill
crews and has also instituted its own social distancing policies
and provided a guidance manual for employees at site.
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.”
(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 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.
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 Anthem 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.
The qualified person who reviewed and approved the technical
disclosure in this release is David Smith, CPG, a qualified person
as defined in National Instrument43-101–Standards of Disclosure for
Mineral Projects. Mr. Smith supervised the preparation of the
scientific and technical information that forms the basis for this
news release and has reviewed and approved the disclosure herein.
Mr. Smith is the Vice-President, Exploration of the Company. Mr.
Smith supervised the drill program and verified the data disclosed,
including sampling, analytical and QA/QC data, underlying the
technical information in this news release, including reviewing the
reports of ALS, methodologies, results, and all procedures
undertaken for quality assurance and quality control in a manner
consistent with industry practice, and all matters were consistent
and accurate according to his professional judgement. There were no
limitations on the verification process.
