and 11 m of 14.7 g/t AuEq)

AuEq)
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 19, 2021--Arizona Metals Corp. (TSX.V:AMC,
OTCQX:AZMCF) (the “Company” or “Arizona Metals”) is pleased to announce the discovery
of a new gold-rich zone of open-ended mineralization at the Kay Mine, in an area previously
untested by historic drilling or exploration. In addition, all seven recently completed holes at the
Kay Mine project in Yavapai County, Arizona, intersected massive sulphide mineralization.
Hole 25 intersected 79 m of 7.0 g/t AuEq, including two separate higher-grade intervals of 9 m
grading 18.1 g/t AuEq and 11 m grading 14.7 g/t AuEq, from a vertical depth of 638 m.
Hole 24 intersected 91 m of 4.7 g/t AuEq, including two separate higher-grade intervals of 20 m
grading 9.2 g/t AuEq and 16 m grading 6.8 g/t AuEq, from a vertical depth of 470 m. This hole
also intersected a high-grade interval of 0.8 m grading 33.4 g/t AuEq (Figure 3).
The bulk of the mineralized intervals in holes 25 and 24 are located between the North and South
Zones (Figure 1), outside of the area defined in the historic estimate by Exxon. Historical records
show very little exploration in this area by Exxon, or other previous operators. Hole 24 was
drilled 104 m deeper than hole 21A which also intersected a broad zone of 65 metres of semi- to
massive sulphides (assays pending), and hole 25 is 276 m deeper than 21A. These newly defined,
wide, high-grade intervals demonstrate the potential to add a significant tonnage of gold-zinc
mineralization outside of the historic resource, which is predominantly copper-gold in
composition.
In addition to the new discovery of the gold-zinc zone in holes 24, 25 holes 17, 18, 18A, 21 and
23 returned wide intervals of copper and gold in the South Zone area, extending the plunge of the
hinge zone defined by Phase 1 drilling. Some highlights include:
• Hole 18A, which intersected 32.5 m of 3.5 g/t AuEq
• Hole 21, which intersected 42.8 m of 3.2 g/t Au Eq, including 4.8 m grading 6.7 g/t AuEq
• Hole KM-21-17, which intersected 20 m of 3.0% CuEq (incl. 4.6 m of 6.4% CuEq). This
hole is located 41 m above hole KM-20-13 drilled in 2020, which intersected 43 m
grading 3.9% CuEq, including 15 m at a grade of 6.7% CuEq.
Marc Pais, CEO, commented “It is very common in VMS districts for deposits to show distinct
zonation of copper-rich mineralization, alternating with gold-zinc mineralization. The historical
record of the Kay Mine shows an almost exclusive focus by previous operators on the copper-
rich mineralization, with exploration focused on depths above 450 m.
The new broad intervals of high-grade gold-zinc mineralization reported today, of 79 m in hole
25 and 91 m in hole 24, define 276 m of vertical plunge below hole 21A (for which assays are
pending), in an area between the North and South Zones that make up the historic resource. This
area was not historically explored and is open for expansion at depths below 450 m.
These discovery holes demonstrate the potential to define a significant tonnage of gold-rich zinc
VMS mineralization, outside of the historic resource defined by Exxon in 1982. Drilling at Kay
continues to confirm that the deposit was historically underexplored, despite being part of a rich
mineralized system. Based on copper prices of under US$1.00/lb during the 1970s and 1980s,
Exxon’s exploration work employed a cut-off grade of 2.5% CuEq.
We believe that as a result, historic exploration overlooked large areas of mineralization in the
immediate vicinity of both the Kay historic estimate and surroundings. This will become even
more important as we move the drills north and south on strike, to recently completed pads. On
completion of the strike testing, the drills will move west to the Central and Western targets, to
test for new satellite deposits in previously undrilled areas.”
Additional results include hole KM-21-18, which intersected 25.5 m of 2.7 g/t AuEq, from a
depth of 255 m.
In the North Zone, hole KM-21-19 intersected an interval of 0.5 m at a grade of 17 g/t AuEq,
from a vertical depth of 337 m. Hole KM-21-20 intersected 0.9 m of 7.1 g/t AuEq and 2.1 m of
3.1 g/t AuEq, from a vertical depth of 362 m. Drilling is currently underway to target an area
laterally between holes 19 and 20, which the Company believes has the potential to host a North
Zone hinge, similar to the thick hinge encountered in recent South Zone drilling.
Holes KM-21-21A, KM-21-25A, KM-21-25B, KM-21-26, and KM-21-27 have been completed
and submitted to ALS Laboratories of Tucson, Arizona for assaying. These holes were drilled to
test for the down-plunge and lateral extensions of the broad intervals of gold-zinc mineralization
encountered in the holes announced today.
Kay Mine Permitting Update and Addition of Third Drill Rig
Permitting and bonding for Kay Mine strike extension pads 4, 5, 6 were completed in March
2021, and pad construction was recently completed. Permitting for pad and road construction to
test the Central and Western Targets was subject to Covid-19 related delays, but is now
progressing well again, with drilling expected at these targets later this year. A third drill rig is
scheduled to arrive at site later this month, and will start drilling at pad 4, located 500m north of
the Kay Mine.
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.

(2) Assumptions used in USD for the copper equivalent calculation were metal prices of $4.70/lb
Copper, $1830/oz Gold, $27/oz Silver, $1.36/lb Zinc, $1.00/lb Pb and recovery is assumed to be
100% as no metallurgical test data is available. The following equation was used to calculate
copper equivalence: CuEq = Copper (%) + (Gold (g/t) x 0.57) + (Silver (g/t) x 0.0084) + (Zinc
(%) x 0.2894) +(Lead (%) x 0.2128).

gold equivalence: AuEq = Gold (g/t) + (Copper (%) x 94.72) + (Silver (g/t) x 0.009) + (Zinc (%)
x 35.73) +(Lead (%) x 31.99).
(3) Assumptions used in USD for the copper equivalent calculations were metal prices of
$2.28/lb Copper, $1650/oz Gold, $16/oz Silver, $0.86/lb Zinc, $0.77/lb Pb and recovery is
assumed to be 100% as no metallurgical test data is available. The following equation was used
to calculate copper equivalence fo: CuEq = Copper (%) + (Gold (g/t) x 1.06) + (Silver (g/t) x
0.0096) + (Zinc (%) x 0.3772) +(Lead (%) x 0.3377).

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.
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.
