AZARGA METALS COMPLETES INDUCED POLARIZATION SURVEY ON HIGH-GRADE
COPPER-RICH VMS MARG PROJECT IN YUKON
November 24, 2022 – Vancouver, B.C. AZARGA METALS CORP. ("Azarga Metals" or the
“Company”) (TSX-V:AZR) is pleased to announce the successful completion of its induced
polarization (“IP”) survey at its high- grade copper-rich Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (“ VMS”)
Marg project (the “Marg Project”) located within the Keno Hill Silver District, Yukon Territory.
IP surveys have long been employed with great success on other VMS projects throughout
Canada and the World to locate and define disseminated VMS alteration- associated sulphide
haloes often enveloping high-grade, Au-Ag-Cu-Zn-rich volcanogenic massive sulphides such as
those found at the Marg VMS deposit.
During the field program it became evident that there were strong conductive formational graphite
and barren sulphide-bearing ‘marker horizons’ that run the length and breadth of the Marg Project
and that frequently occur as ‘cap rocks’ to the underlying VMS systems. This was positive for
Azarga Metals’ IP program as pyrite and massive sulfide minerals were historically deposited by
hydrothermal fluids. These minerals typically have a huge IP signature, especially when
disseminated as smaller grain in a rock matrix.
The IP survey was accomplished with 50 metre spacings and the data was collected in a Constant
Separation Traverse style, along the priority lines. The highest priority areas immediately adjacent
to and over the Marg deposit were covered by the 2022 IP survey, however, due to winter weather
conditions, a minor number of peripheral lines had to be deferred until a later date.
The IP survey results are expected to be released in December 2022 shortly after the final
processing and interpretations are completed by Abitibi Geophysics Ltd.
ABOUT THE MARG PROJECT
The most recent NI 43-101 Mineral Resource estimate for the Marg Project (see Table 1 below)
was completed by Mining Plus Canada Consulting Ltd. in 2016 and incorporated into a
Preliminary Economic Assessment (“ PEA”) for the project (note: the PEA title is “Revere
Development Corp, Marg Project Preliminary Economic Assessment, Technical Report, Yukon
Canada” and is dated August 31, 2016).
The mineral resource estimate in the 2016 PEA was prepared in accordance with NI 43- 101
standards and is considered by Azarga Metals management to have a high degree of reliability,
however, the resource has not been verified by Azarga Metals and is considered historical in
Page 2
nature. A qualified person representing Azarga Metals has not done sufficient work to classify
the historical estimate as a current mineral resource and Azarga Metals is not treating it as a
current mineral resource.

Category Tonnage (mt) Cu% Pb% Zn% Ag g/t Au g/t
Indicated 3.7 1.5 2.0 3.8 48 0.76
Inferred 6.1 1.2 1.7 3.4 44 0.74
Note: 1. Where CuEq% was calculated = Cu% + 0.28 Pb% + 0.32 Zn% + 0.39 Au g/t + 0.0055 Ag g/t, which was assessed based on the following
metal price and recovery assumptions: Cu price of 2.5 US$/lb and recovery of 80% (96.5% payable); Pb price of 0.8 US$/lb and recovery of 70%
(95% payable); Zn price of 0.8 US$/lb and recovery of 90% (85% payable); Au price of 1100 US$/oz and recovery of 50% (90% payable); and Ag
price of 16 US$/oz and recovery of 50% (90% payable).
