ARIZONA GOLD & SILVER INC. ANNOUNCE APPOINTMENT

OF DR. LEX LAMBECK AS SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF EXPLORATION

Vancouver, British Columbia, January 13, 2025 – Arizona Gold & Silver Inc. (TSXV: AZS) 

(OTCQB:AZASF) is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Lex Lambeck as Senior Vice President of

Exploration. He will replace Mr. Greg Hahn who will become Vice Chair. Dr. Lambeck brings extensive

experience in mineral exploration and project development. He has a strong track record of technical

leadership and exploration success across multiple mining jurisdictions. His depth of expertise and his

strategic approach to exploration will be integral to the company's growth as we continue to advance our

projects.

Most recently, Dr. Lambeck served as Vice President of Exploration at MAG Silver Corp., which was

recently purchased by Pan American Silver for $2.1 billion. In that role he contributed to district-scale

exploration programs and served as Chief Geologist for the Deer Trail Project in Utah. He is also the founder

and CEO of LamSil Geological Services LLC.

Mr. Mike Stark, President and CEO comments “We are delighted to welcome Lex to the company. He

brings both leadership and exploration to the company. His experience in epithermal vein deposits and

managing large scale projects will be a benefit as we aggressively advance the Philadelphia project. He will

also tackle exploration of the large scale gold-antimony system at the Silverton project.”

Dr. Lambeck comments, “I am excited to join the company and contribute to Mike Stark’s team. A

significant motivation for my taking on this role is the quality of the Philadelphia property. I see it as a real

winner for both the company and my career. It is a compelling project with the scale of upside required for

the industry and investment community to really take notice. Importantly it falls within the two best mining

jurisdictions in the country. The Silverton and Sycamore Canyon projects add additional upside that is yet to

be recognized. I intend to change that. "

As Senior Vice President of Exploration, Lex will oversee the company’s exploration programs and work

closely with our technical and management teams. He will oversee the expansion of all our programs, not

just the flagship Philadelphia project. Additional personnel will be hired to drive disciplined, results-focused

programs.

Dr. Lambeck Accomplishments

Dr. Lambeck is an exploration geologist and senior mining executive with a PhD in geology and more than

25 years of experience advancing gold, silver, copper and base metal projects across the United States,

Canada, Mexico and Australia. Lex is a member of the American Institute of Professional Geologists and a

Certified Professional Geologist CPG-11734. He has held senior leadership roles including Chief Executive

Officer, Vice President of Exploration and Consulting Exploration Geologist. He brings deep technical and

operational experience to the company.

Throughout his career Lex has led large, multi-year exploration programs. He has been recognized for his

abilities integrating geology, geochemistry, geophysics and 3D geological modeling to support data driven

decision making. His background also includes extensive experience in permitting and stakeholder

engagement across federal, state and private lands in North America.

Mr. Hahn, having delivered a significant discovery at the Philadelphia project and after serving +50 years in

the mining industry, will remain on the Board as Vice Chair and board member to help guide the company’s

growth going forward.

Please join me in welcoming Dr. Lambeck to the Company. With this new appointment, Arizona Gold &

Silver’s continuing future success is assured.

The recent Philadelphia site visit produced core images of 159, as well as interviews, all of which will be

uploaded to the website soon.
