Corporate Overview
About Arizona Metals
Building the Future of Copper-Gold Exploration in Arizona
Arizona Metals Corp. (TSX: AMC | OTCQX: AZMCF) is a publicly traded mineral exploration company focused on the discovery and development of high-grade copper-gold-zinc VMS deposits. With 100% ownership of two flagship projects — Kay Mine and Sugarloaf Peak — we are positioned to advance exploration in one of the most mining-friendly jurisdictions in North America.
Key Highlights:
Kay Mine Project - High-grade VMS deposit (June 2025 NI 43-101 MRE) with expansion potential.
Sugarloaf Peak Project - Large-scale gold target with heap-leach potential.
Strategic Location - Strong infrastructure, private land, and favourable mining laws.
Projects Overview
Kay Mine
A historic high-grade VMS deposit with known mineralization extending from surface to at least 900m depth. The Kay Mine is surrounded by multiple past-producing copper-gold mines, offering exceptional expansion potential.
High-Grade Mineral Resource – 9.2M tonnes @ 3.2% CuEq Indicated + 0.9M tonnes @ 2.4% CuEq Inferred, with significant expansion potential at depth and along strike.
Ongoing Exploration – Phase 3 drill program continues to define and expand the deposit, with recent drilling intercepts including 125m at 2.2% CuEq and 93.3m at 8.3 g/t AuEq.
Infrastructure & Accessibility – Located 74 km north of Phoenix with road, power, and water access on private and BLM mining claims, with no existing royalties.
Sugarloaf Peak
A large-scale heap-leach gold deposit with a historic resource estimate of 1.5 million ounces of gold. Advanced metallurgical studies indicate potential for high recoveries.
Historic Gold Resource * – Historic resource estimate of 100 million tons containing 1.5 million ounces of gold at a grade of 0.5 g/t Au, indicating bulk mining potential.
Favourable Metallurgy – Oxide gold recoveries of up to 95% in preliminary metallurgical testing, with additional work ongoing to optimize processing.
Exploration Upside – Drilling has intersected sulphide gold mineralization at depths exceeding 500m, suggesting further resource expansion potential.
* 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 NI 43-101 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.
