Park/Salyer Resumes Three Drills At The MainSpring

CASA GRANDE, AZ – Arizona Sonoran Copper Company Inc. reported on drilling for Parks/Salyer infill to measured program on the Cactus Project, Arizona. These 11 drill holes total 24,463 ft (7,456 m) of drilling. Additionally, infill and exploration drilling to the south of Parks/Salyer has resumed at MainSpring with three drills, building on the 11- hole program undertaken in late 2023. The MainSpring drill program is testing the near surface southern extension of the Parks/Salyer deposit which lies some 1,500 ft (457 m) to the north.

George Ogilvie, President and CEO, said, “We look forward to integrating the thick and high-grade Parks/Salyer porphyry copper deposit into our Prefeasibility Study due out this quarter. Having completed the Parks/Salyer drilling in support of the indicated category, and a partial program in support of the measured category for a future Definitive Feasibility Study, we look forward to demonstrating the exploration upside of our Cactus Project. In 2024, our exploration teams will expand the definition of the primary sulphides, in addition to the oxides and enriched material at our MainSpring and Cactus West projects, presenting a significant potential for the Company.”

Infill drilling at Parks/Salyer focused on expanding the high-grade core areas on the east side of the orebody, defined by earlier infill drilling. The eastern side of Parks/Salyer hosts thick intercepts of covellite-rich mineralization that straddles the boundary between the enriched and primary zones, highlighted by the elevated total copper and soluble copper grades shown in this new drilling. These intercepts include excellent thicknesses of higher grades in both the enriched and primary zones, which were suggested by previous drilling but are becoming better defined by additional infill drilling.
