Continuity In Mineralization At The Kay2 Zone

TORONTO - Arizona Metals Corp. reported on the drill holes in the Kay2 Zone at the Kay project in Arizona. Drill hole KM-25-180 intersected 44.5 m @ 4.0 g/t AuEq, including 9.5 m @ 9.2 g/t AuEq and 0.9 m @ 21.7 g/t AuEq. The hole is located approximately 40 m south of hole KM-24-166, the discovery hole in the Kay2 Zone. Drill hole KM-25-178 intersected three intervals: 18.6 m @ 2.1% CuEq, 8.4 m @ 1.9% Cueq, and 1.8 m @ 2.4 g/t AuEq. This hole is located about 45 m above hole KM-24-166. Drill hole KM-25-179 also returned three intervals: 32.0 m @ 5.3 g/t AuEq (including 6.1 m @ 10.9 g/t AuEq), 1.5 m @ 6.2%CuEq, and 7.6 m @ 1.0% CuEq. Hole 179 is located 70 m above and south of hole 166, and 70 m above hole 180.

To date, drilling in the Kay2 Zone has demonstrated dimensions of 100 m along strike and 140 m vertically. Drilling shows good continuity in mineralization in the Kay2 Zone and adjacent mineralization in the main Kay deposit to the south. The Kay2 Zone is located approximately 100 m north of previously drilled mineralization in the Kay deposit.

Duncan Middlemiss, President and CEO, said, "We are encouraged by the latest drill results from the Kay2 Zone, which continue to demonstrate significant expansion potential. The intercepts show substantial thicknesses, consistent grades, and strong continuity—key indicators of a robust mineralized system. These results reinforce our confidence in the Kay2 Zone and support our view that these results will contribute to the overall tonnage of the Kay deposit. We believe this will be clearly reflected in the updated mineral resource estimate, which remains on track for release in the second quarter of 2025."

The Company has also received approval for one additional drill pad from the Bureau of Land Management under the existing Notice of Intent to Explore permit. This drill pad provides additional opportunities to test the Kay North Extension target where the Kay mineralized horizon continues north from the Kay deposit. One drill hole in the Kay2 Zone, KM-25-176, encountered no significant assays (Table 1). Deep drill hole KM-25-177, targeted at the depth extension of the main Kay deposit, was lost before reaching the target depth due to difficult drilling. With the completion of recent drill holes, Arizona Metals has drilled a total of 133,000 meters on the property.
