Arizona Metals Corp Announces Non-Brokered Private
Placement of up to $3 Million
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 12, 2020) -
Arizona Metals Corp. (TSXV: AMC) (the "Company" or "Arizona Metals") is
pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement financing of up to 4,615,385 units at a price of $0.65 per unit (a "Unit")
for gross proceeds of up to $3 million (the "Private Placement"). Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company
(each, a "Common Share") and one-half of one non-transferable Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a
"Warrant"), with each Warrant exercisable to purchase one additional Common Share of the Company for a period of 18 months
from the date of closing at an exercise price of $0.85.
The Company may pay a finder's fee to certain third parties in connection with the proceeds received by the Company by the
sale of Units to the subscribers, other than insiders, introduced to the Company by such third party.
Proceeds from the Private Placement will be used primarily to fund general working capital purposes and exploration at the
Company's Kay Mine Project. The Private Placement is expected to close on or around May 29, 2020.
The Private Placement
may be closed in one or more tranches as subscriptions are received.
The Private Placement and any finder's fees are subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. All Common Shares and Warrants
issued pursuant to the Private Placement and any Common Shares issuable on exercise of Warrants will be subject to a four
month and a day hold period from the closing date.
It is anticipated that certain directors, officers and other insiders of the Company will acquire Units. Such participation will be
considered to be "related party transactions" within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument
61-101 -
Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions
("MI 61-101") adopted in the Policy. The Company
intends to rely on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101
contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of related party participation in the Private Placement as
neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the
consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involves the related parties, is expected to exceed 25% of the Company's market
capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).
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, 2.8g/t gold, 3.03% zinc, and 55g/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 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 150m to at least 900m. 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 0.5g/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.
