[{"type":"text","content":"CASA GRANDE, Ariz. & TORONTO / Jun 23, 2022 / Business Wire / Arizona Sonoran Copper Company Inc. (TSX:ASCU) (“ASCU” or the “Company”), an emerging US-based copper developer and near-term producer, announces an additional 3 drill holes (6,440 feet | 1,960 metres) from its initial 12-hole exploration program at the Parks/Salyer (“P/S”) Project, while a new 80,000 ft (24,400 m) program is well-underway at the P/S Project (see FIGURES 1-3). The new drilling program tests the extents of the previously defined Exploration Target (see PR dated Feb 10, 22), from the southern border of P/S and in a north-eastern trend towards the Cactus Mine, at 500 ft centres. Assays are pending on an additional 12 holes. Highlights: Drilling supports the upper end of the Exploration Target’s volumetric calculation below, currently defined to at least 1,500 ft by 2,000 ft and within 2 km from the Cactus Mine. 40-90 M tons of potential leachable material @ 1.05%- 1.3% TSol for potential of 1.0-2.35 B lbs of contained copper 8-35 M tons of potential primary material @ 0.85-1.05% CuT for 0.15-0.75 B lbs of contained copper ECP-079 together with ECP-061, confirms east-west continuity for 1,500 ft width. ECP-086 and ECP-092 logging results suggest an additional 1,000 ft of mineralization to the east for a potential width of 2,500 ft. ECP-79 – 479 ft @ 1.32% CuT, 0.90% TSol, 0.017% Mo (enriched) and 225 ft @ 0.96% CuT, 0.63% TSol, 0.039% Mo – Primary (cut off by Basement Fault) ECP-61 – 474 ft @ 0.89% CuT, 0.83% TSol, 0.026% Mo – (enriched) and 690 ft @ 0.33% CuT, 0.011% Mo – Primary ECP-68 – 324 ft @ 1.10% CuT, 0.96% TSol, 0.005% Mo – (enriched) and 753 ft @ 0.63% CuT, 0.016% Mo – Primary ECP-068 shows a thickening to the southeast of grades previously intersected in historic hole S-200 George Ogilvie, Arizona Sonoran President and CEO commented, “We are thrilled with the strength of copper grades and thicknesses at the P/S Project. As a result, the assays are pointing to the higher ends of the Exploration Target. With drilling on track to be complete by mid-July, the team should have a handle on the mineral resource potential at the P/S Project, as well as the Phase 1 modelling results of the NutonTM Technology metallurgical testing. He continued, “Looking beyond our Cactus and P/S Property, the prolific Santa Cruz copper district has seen significantl...
