Arras Minerals Completes Analytical Review of 2022 Regional Exploration Licence Field Program
ARRAS MINERALS COMPLETES ANALYTICAL REVIEW OF 2022
REGIONAL EXPLORATION LICENCE FIELD PROGRAM
May 10, 2023 TSX.V: ARK
Vancouver, British Columbia – Arras Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: ARK) (“Arras” or “the Company”) is pleased
to provide a summary o f the analysis completed from the Company’s 2022 regional exploration field
program.
Highlights of the Analytical Results from 2022 Exploration Field Program:
• Over 16,000 soil samples were collected during the Arras summer field program and analyzed
using a portable X-ray fluorescent (pXRF) analyzer. The samples were taken from the Beskauga,
Ekidos, Stepnoe, Elemes, Nogurbek, and Akkuduk license areas.
• The pXRF results confirmed the presence of widespread mineralization in the targeted areas that
were identified through Arras’ 2022 work program and historic Soviet-era geological reports.
• The results show three potential copper porphyry targets, along with an epithermal gold and a
very promising nickel target which will be followed up in 2023.
• In addition to identifying geochemical anomalies, the pXRF analysis of the soils has also been
instrumental in mapping out the geology and alteration of our licenses where outcrop is scarce.
• It is important to note that due to the limitations of the pXRF technology, the results of the soil
program can only be considered indicative of mineralization.
Tim Barry, CEO of Arras, commenting on the results from the 2022 regional field programs, stated, “We
are pleased to announce the summary results of our extensive 2022 soil sample program. The results have
confirmed the presence of mineralization in areas that we initially identified as promising through Arras'
geophysical surveys and by reviewing historical Soviet -era reports. Furthermore, the pXRF analysis has
revealed additional areas of interest that we will prioritize for follow -up during this year's field program.
We look forward to following up the prospects identified in 2023.”
The Company is finalizing logistical planning for the 2023 field program which is now underway, an d
includes the three additional licenses that were secured earlier this year (Boz shakol South, Aimandai &
Besshoky). Arras also continues to drill at the Beskauga license and is currently testing new target areas
outside of the Beskauga main deposit identi fied from the Arras geophysical and KGK drilling program in
2021/2022.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors concerning estimates of Measured, Indicated, and Inferred Resources: This press release uses
the terms “measured resources”, “indicated resources”, and “inferred resources” which are defined in, and required to be disclosed
by, NI 43-101. The Company advises U.S. investors that these terms are not recognized by the SEC. The estimation of measured,
indicated and inferred resources involves greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility than the estimation of
proven and probable reserves. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that measured and indicated mineral resources will be
converted into reserves. The estimation of inferred resources involves far greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic
viability than the estimation of other categories of resources. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that estimates of inferred
mineral resources exist, are economically minable, or will be upgraded into measured or indicated mineral resources. Under
Canadian securities laws, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies.
Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations, however the SEC normally only
permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade
without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, the information contained in this press release may not be comparable to similar
information made public by U.S. companies that are not subject NI 43-101.
Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements: This news release contains forward-looking statements regarding future
