[{"type":"text","content":"CASA GRANDE, Ariz. & TORONTO / Sep 13, 2022 / Business Wire / Arizona Sonoran Copper Company Inc. (TSX:ASCU | OTCQX:ASCUF) (“ASCU” or the “Company”) releases 7 drill holes from the Cactus East, Cactus Mine Project infill drilling program. This new set of assays continue to support the previously defined geological interpretations with thick and high-grade intercepts outlined within the underground Cactus East orebody, immediately to the northeast of the historic Sacaton pit. Infill drilling is targeting 125 ft (38 m) spacing with the goal of generating measured mineral resources (see FIGURES 1-7). Highlights: Thick and high-grade intercepts are consistent with previous wider spaced drilling intercepts and resource model interpretation ECE-067: 148.5 ft (45.3 m) @ 2.57% TCu, 2.53% Cu TSol (enriched) Incl. 10 ft (3.0 m) @ 10.53% TCu, 10.13% Cu TSol ECE-085: 268.0 ft (81.7 m) @ 1.51% TCu, 1.38% Cu TSol (enriched) Incl. 203.0 ft (61.9 m) @ 1.74% TCu, 1.64% Cu TSol 383.3 ft (116.9 m) @ 0.51% TCu (primary) ECE-082: 226.6 ft (69.1 m) @ 1.39% TCu, 1.26% Cu TSol (enriched) Incl. 117.7 ft (35.9 m) @ 1.88% TCu, 1.73% Cu TSol 379.0 ft (115.5 m) @ 0.68% TCu (primary) ECE-066: 244.8 ft (74.6 m) @ 1.26% TCu, 1.14% Cu TSol (enriched) 142.4 ft (43.4 m) @ 1.63% TCu, 1.55% Cu TSol (oxide) ECE-062: 173.0 ft (52.7m) @ 1.60% TCu, 1.49% Cu TSol (oxide) Incl. 100.6 ft (30.7 m) @ 2.28% TCu, 2.15% Cu TSol 258.0 ft (78.6 m) @ 1.01% TCu, 0.91% Cu TSol (enriched) Ian McMullan, Arizona Sonoran Chief Operating Officer commented, “Cactus East assay results continue to build upon and support the previously released assays. The high porphyry copper grades with good thicknesses underpin future mine planning and mine design work for a targeted underground bulk mining scenario at Cactus East. As previously mentioned, drills are currently focusing on Parks/Salyer to build out the known mineralization and will return later in the year to complete the measured category drilling.” Drilling Program Recap The total infill program inclusive of Cactus East and Cactus West (60,000 ft | 18,290 m) is now over halfway complete. A total of 16 HQ drill holes in the heart of the Cactus East orebody were drilled for a total of 31,817.7 ft (9,700 m). Assays are pending on 2 holes and 5 holes remain to be drilled (10,000 ft | 3,048 m). At Cactus West, 25 holes (16,000 ft | 1877 ...
