About Arizona Metals Corp.
AMC is a mineral exploration company based in Toronto, Ontario. AMC owns 100% of approximately
351 acres of patented and unpatented claims covering and surrounding the past -producing Kay mine
(“Kay Mine”), located in Yavapai County, Arizona, approximately 50 miles north of Phoenix. The Kay
Mine claims are not subject to any royalties. The Kay Mine property hosts an historic resource estimate,
defined by Exxon Minerals (Fellows, 1982) of 6.4 million short tons at a grade of 2.2% copper, 2.8g/t
gold, 3.03% z inc, and 55g/t silver. Exxon used a copper equivalent cut -off grade of 2%. The historic
estimate was defined from a depth of approximately 100m to 900m, and based on approximately 103
underground drill holes on 12 levels, thousands of underground samples, and approximately 7,500m in
surface drilling. AMC has planned an initial drill program of approximately 5,000m. The 1982 estimate
by Exxon did not use CIM categories. AMC’s QP has not done sufficient work to classify the historic
estimate as a current reso urce, and AMC is not treating the historic estimate as a current resource. In
March 2019, AMC staked an additional 1,000 acres of BLM claims contiguous with the recently acquired
Kay Mine claims. AMC also completed a helicopter VTEM survey totaling 102 lin e kilometres covering
the acquired and staked claims.
AMC also owns 100% of the Sugarloaf Peak Gold Project, which is composed of 222 BLM claims with
dimensions of approximately 4km x 6km, and hosts an historic resource “containing about 1.5 million
ounces gold and 25 million ounces of silver in a volume of about 100 million tons” (Dausinger, 1983).
This estimate was based on work by Westworld Resources (1981 -1983) which totaled 2,500 feet of
drilling in 10 holes to a maximum depth of only 76m. The histori c estimate was not defined using CIM
categories. AMC’s QP (as defined below) has not done sufficient work to classify the historic estimate as
a current resource, and AMC is not treating the historic estimate as a current resource. Additional drilling
totaling 4,400m was completed by Riverside Resources and Choice Gold between 2009 and 2012, and a
Titan-24 geophysical survey was also undertaken during this period. The average drill hole spacing at
Sugarloaf is 150m and AMC estimates an initial drill program of at least 10,000m will be required.
AMC’s QP has not done sufficient work to classify the historic estimate as a current resource, and the
Corporation is not treating the historic estimate as a current resource.
