About this update from Arizona Sonoran Copper Co., Inc.

[{"type":"text","content":"CASA GRANDE, Ariz. & TORONTO / Jun 10, 2024 / Business Wire / Arizona Sonoran Copper Company Inc. (TSX:ASCU | OTCQX:ASCUF) (“ASCU” or the “Company”) reports drilling results targeting below the leachable oxides and enriched sulphides, into the untested extents of primary copper mineralization around the Cactus West Pit, on the Cactus Project, in Arizona. Drilling confirms a thick zone of primary sulphide mineralization beneath the Cactus West open pit mine plan and at least 750 ft (229 m) south, 500 ft (152 m) southwest and up to an additional 700 ft (213 m) below the Cactus West mineral resource shell (see FIGURES 1 – 8). The program is part of the 2024 Nuton Work Program sponsored by Nuton LLC, a Rio Tinto venture, as announced January 30, 2024. A total of 5 drill holes are reported herein for a total of 8,366 ft (2,550 m). The Nuton-sponsored drill program aims to further delineate the primary mineralization beneath the existing oxides and enriched sulphides at the Cactus West open pit, as outlined in the current mine plan. Additionally, the program seeks to extend exploration efforts to the south and southwest regions. The program follows up on geotechnical hole ECW-150 (see PR January 10, 2024), which also encountered a significant primary sulphide interval, extending mineralization by 674 ft (205 m) below the mineral resource shell, within a total interval of 1,416 ft (432 m) @ 0.45% CuT. Drilling Highlights: ECW-246*: 1,463 ft (446 m) @ 0.31% CuT of continuous mineralization 1,370 ft (418 m) @ 0.31% CuT, 0.004% Mo (primary) ECW-243: 987 ft (301 m) @ 0.34% CuT of continuous mineralization 191 ft (58 m) @ 0.35% CuT, 0.30% Cu TSol, 0.014% Mo (enriched) 796 ft (243 m) @ 0.33% CuT, 0.011% Mo (primary) ECW-245: 1,033 ft (315 m) @ 0.28% CuT of continuous mineralization 190 ft (58 m) @ 0.56% CuT, 0.010% Mo (primary) ECW-241: 852 ft (260 m) @ 0.38% CuT of continuous mineralization 316 ft (96 m) @ 0.34% CuT, 0.27% Cu TSol, 0.005% Mo (enriched) from 132 m depth 536 ft (163 m) @ 0.39% CuT, 0.019% Mo (primary) NOTE: True widths are not known; * Hole terminated in primary mineralization and angled at –47.5° dip, all other holes drilled vertical and terminated in the basement fault George Ogilvie, Arizona Sonoran President and CEO commented, “While our engineering and geology teams remain focused on the integration of our MainSpring...
