Announces Initial Drill Program at Kay Mine North Zone Returns 4.6m at 6.9%CuEq, 13.5m at 2.9% CuEq, 2.4m at 9.2% CuEq, and 2.7m at 5.4% CuEqToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 15, 2020) - Arizona Metals Corp. (TSXV: AMC) (the \"Company\" or \"Arizona Metals\") is pleased to announce assay results of the first seven drill holes completed at its Kay Mine Project, located near Black Canyon City, Arizona.The first seven holes of the drill program, KM-20-01 to KM-20-07, were drilled to test the shallowest part of the North Zone which starts at a vertical depth of approximately 100m (Figure 1). Holes KM-20-01 through KM-20-06 all intersected massive sulphide mineralization (Table 1). Hole KM-20-07 did not intersect significant mineralization and is believed to have passed between the North and South Zones.Arizona Metals' drilling tested a vertical extent of approximately 50m in the North Zone, to a vertical depth between 120-170m. Historic underground exploration by Exxon Minerals reported mineralization at depths in the North Zone of up to 300m below recent drilling by Arizona Metals.An additional two holes, KM-20-08 and KM-20-09, were drilled in March 2020 to test the South Zone (Figure 2). Hole KM-20-08 suffered significant deviation and was stopped and grouted after 36m of progress. Hole KM-20-09 was then aimed at the same target at depth and intersected approximately six metres of semi-massive to massive sulphide mineralization, at a vertical depth of 570m. Assays are pending. This intersection is approximately 160m vertically above hole KM-8, drilled by Exxon Minerals in 1977, which returned a true width intersection of 10.3m at a grade of 6.5% CuEq. Exxon Minerals also reported significant historic intersections located approximately 150m vertically above hole KM-20-09 in the South Zone. Arizona Metals Corp. is targeting additional exploration holes to test above and below hole KM-20-09.Highlights of the first six holes in the North Zone include:KM-20-03: 2.7m grading 5.41% CuEq (incl. 0.9m of 10.32% CuEq), from a depth of 120mKM-20-03A: 4.6m grading 6.85% CuEq (incl. 0.8m of 18.19% CuEq) from a depth of 122mKM-20-05: 2.4m grading 9.19% CuEq (incl. 1.2m of 13.89% CuEq) from a depth of 150mKM-20-06: 13.5m grading 2.92% CuEq (incl. 4.9m of 4.54% CuEq) from a depth of 158mThe massive sulphides consist o...
