[{"type":"text","content":"CASA GRANDE, Ariz. & TORONTO / Sep 12, 2023 / Business Wire / Arizona Sonoran Copper Company Inc. (TSX:ASCU | OTCQX:ASCUF) (“ASCU” or the “Company”), an emerging copper developer and near-term producer, drills initial 13 infill holes from the high grade core of the Parks/Salyer deposit demonstrating continuity of grade and mineralized widths at 125 ft (38 m) drill spacing (see FIGURES 1-15). A total of 29,036 ft (8,850.2 m) has now been drilled within the overall 105,000 ft (32,000 m) infill to measured drilling program over the Cactus Project deposits. This program is being undertaken to upgrade parts of the current mineral resources to the measured category for a definitive feasibility study (“DFS”) in late 2024. Drilling Highlights: - Drilling replicating high grade-thicknesses from prior drill programs, including 5 new intervals in the top 10 grade thickness intervals at Parks/Salyer (see FIGURE 4) - In July and August, 2 drill rigs focused in the eastern section, interpreted to be the high grade core of the deposit - ECP-145: 937 ft (285.8 m) @ 1.41% CuT of continuous mineralization 639 ft (194.8 m) @ 1.78% CuT, 1.37% Cu TSol, 0.016% Mo (enriched) Incl 78 ft (23.8 m) @ 4.10% CuT, 2.96% Cu TSol, 0.013% Mo - ECP-147: 1,023 ft (312 m) @ 1.05% CuT of continuous mineralization 935 ft (285.2 m) @ 1.02% CuT, 0.63% Cu TSol, 0.014% Mo (enriched) Incl 202 ft (61.6 m) @ 2.03% CuT, 1.28% Cu TSol, 0.016% Mo - ECP-162: 1,132 ft (344.9 m) @ 1.23% CuT of continuous mineralization 597 ft (181.8 m) @ 1.49% CuT, 1.44% Cu TSol, 0.019% Mo (enriched) And 170 ft (51.8 m) @ 1.92% CuT, 1.88% Cu TSol, 0.023% Mo - ECP-169: 880.2 ft (268.3 m) @ 1.13% CuT of continuous mineralization 519 ft (158.2 m) @ 1.49% CuT, 1.09% Cu TSol, 0.011% Mo (enriched) Incl 158ft (48.2m) @ 2.16% CuT, 2.10% Cu TSol, 0.004% Mo - ECP-152: 1,011 ft (308.2 m) @ 0.78% CuT of continuous mineralization 674 ft (205.6 m) @ 1.0% CuT, 0.94% Cu TSol, 0.020% Mo (enriched) Incl 125 ft (38.3 m) @ 2.18% CuT, 2.13% Cu TSol, 0.017% Mo NOTE: True widths are not known, see PR dated September 28, 2022 for the P/S mineral resource George Ogilvie, Arizona Sonoran President and CEO commented, “The team continues to execute and deliver solid results as we advance our Cactus and Parks/Salyer projects.
