Exploration Drilling Commences At The Parks/Salyer Property

CASA GRANDE, AZ - Arizona Sonoran Copper Company Inc. has begun its initial 6 hole (3,658 m | 12,000 ft) drilling campaign at the Parks/Salyer property in Arizona. Located 1.3 miles down trend to the southwest from the Cactus Project on private land, the Parks/Salyer Project demonstrates the same geological characteristics as the Cactus Project. Parks/Salyer is part of the same high grade porphyry copper system as the Cactus Project and is also located within a northwest trending horst block of bedrock covered by later conglomerates.

George Ogilvie, President and CEO, said, “We are very excited to be commencing our 2022 exploration program for Parks/Salyer. The current PEA and mineral resource estimate do not account for any mineralization outside of the Cactus deposits or the Stockpile. We have historic drilling indicating potentially significant mineralization of the same style and nature as in the Cactus Deposits, only 2 km from a Project with an existing 18 year mine life. Importantly, we see the mineralization improving as we move further north on Parks/Salyer. Exploration success at Parks/Salyer will help us add to the forecast production base at the Cactus Project in the longer term and develop a scalable operation.”
