Continuity Of Grade Identified At Parks/Silver Project

CASA GRANDE, AZ –  Arizona Sonoran Copper Company Inc. (ASCU) reported on the final 6 drill holes at the Parks/Salyer (P/S) Project to complete its initial 12-hole (27,722.6 ft | 8,450 m) exploration program. These results extend mineralization to the north and the west of the P/S Exploration Target and demonstrate the continuity of grade and tonnage within the porphyry copper target located 1.3 mi (2 km) from the Cactus Mine. The Company continued its 500 ft (152 m) centre program to the west and eastward onto newly leased land with an additional 14 – hole program (all holes are complete, with assays pending). As a result of ongoing drilling results, ASCU has moved to a 105,000 ft (32,000 m) drilling program with two active drill rigs, to infill the P/S Project to 250 ft (76 m) centers. By year end, ASCU is expecting to have completed a total of 165,000 ft (50,290 m) of drilling on the Project.

George Ogilvie, President and CEO, said, “Results from the initial 12-hole drilling program confirms the encouraging target and justifies the focus we’ve placed on Parks/Salyer. Assays continue to demonstrate a porphyry copper system with similar grade to the Cactus East deposit, with greater thicknesses, and within the broader mineralized system on which our Cactus Mine, Parks/Salyer Project and even Northeast Extension are situated. We will continue to drill out the P/S Project demonstrating the optionality of scale and growth beyond our Cactus Mine as a new major discovery for our Company. Our goal in the short term will be to infill drill Park Salyer on 250 ft centers, allowing for a Mineral Resource Estimate predominantly in the Indicated Category that can then be included in a Pre-Feasibility Study.”
