(TSX: AMC) (OTCQX: AZMCF) (the \"Company\" or \"Arizona Metals\") is pleased to announce positive metallurgical testing results from its 100% owned Sugarloaf Peak Gold Project (\"Sugarloaf\") in\n \n La Paz County, Arizona\n \n .\n \n \n Arizona Metals previously completed bottle-roll testing on two metallurgical holes (SP-20-01 and SP-20-02). The initial results from these tests achieved gold recoveries averaging 76% with oxide material recoveries as high as 95%. As a result of these initial results, the Company engaged SRK Consulting (Global) Limited to oversee metallurgical test work to develop a low-cost flow sheet to recover the gold.\n \n \n The results of column testing of Sugarloaf oxide material achieved gold recoveries of up to 90%. Additional metallurgical testing was also completed with a focus on developing a conventional low-cost flowsheet to recover sulphide-hosted gold at Sugarloaf. Two sulphide flowsheets were considered for this test work: Whole-Ore-Leach (WOL) and bulk flotation followed by fine grinding of concentrate and leaching.\n \n \n Four sulphide composite samples (the \"Samples\") were prepared, ranging from 0.30 to 0.60 g/t gold and 2.2 to 5.3% sulfur. The test results indicated gold recoveries of up to 85%.  Both flowsheet options were similar with overall final recoveries within 1% for all the Samples. Leaching kinetics for all four composite samples were fast, reaching maximum recovery at 24 hours. Comminution tests indicated a relatively soft material with SAG Circuit Specific Energy (SCSE) values of 7.8 kWh/t.\n \n \n...
