[{"type":"text","content":"CASA GRANDE, Ariz. & TORONTO / Nov 20, 2023 / Business Wire / Arizona Sonoran Copper Company Inc. (TSX:ASCU | OTCQX:ASCUF) (“ASCU” or the “Company”), reports that exploration drilling at the MainSpring property intersected near surface copper mineralization from 4 drill holes. The southern-most MainSpring drill hole, ECM-186, was collared 2,500 ft (762 m) south of the Parks/Salyer deposit (see FIGURES 1-9) and intersected shallow oxide mineralization at a depth of 138 ft (42 m) from surface. In comparison, Parks/Salyer mineralization begins at approximately 550 ft (176 m) at its shallowest, over a footprint of 2,000 ft by 2,500 ft. The MainSpring property is situated contiguous to the Parks/Salyer Property and within the, privately held by ASCU, Cactus Project in Arizona. Eight of 10 drill holes are now complete within the MainSpring exploration program announced October 30, 2023. Current drilling is testing the near surface extension of mineralization south of the Parks/Salyer deposit across the MainSpring property. Based on early drilling results, a comprehensive 2024 exploration program is being planned to discover the extents of shallow mineralization to the south and then connect the shallow mineralization to the thick high-grade zones at Parks/Salyer in the north. Drilling Highlights: Identified shallow mineralization at least 2,500 ft (762 m) south of the Parks/Salyer deposit Near surface mineralization begins at ~138 ft (42 m) in 3 of the southern-most drill holes, compared to ~550 ft (166 m) or greater in the Parks/Salyer deposit ECM-190: 433 ft (132 m) @ 0.34% CuT, 0.31% Cu TSol from 336 ft (102 m) depth (enriched) Incl 115 ft (35.1 m) @ 0.58% CuT, 0.56% Cu TSol And 50 ft (15.2 m) @ 0.49% CuT, 0.48% Cu TSol Partial hole; assays related to the primary sulphides are pending ECM-187: 716 ft (218 m) @ 0.28% CuT of continuous mineralization from 144.3 ft (44 m) depth 303.7 ft (92.6 m) @ 0.35% CuT, 0.32% Cu TSol from 144 ft (44 m) depth (oxide) Incl 11.7 ft (3.6 m) @ 3.39% CuT, 3.29% Cu TSol And 20 ft (6.1 m) @ 1.01% CuT, 1.00% Cu TSol 124.9 ft (38.1 m) @ 0.34% CuT, 0.33% Cu TSol (enriched) Incl 34 ft (10.4 m) @ 0.86% CuT, 0.84% Cu TSol ECM-186: 570 ft (173.7 m) @ 0.19 % CuT of near continuous mineralization from 138 ft (42 m) depth ECM-191: 317.1 ft (96.7 m) @ 0.23% CuT, 0.23% Cu TSol from 370.4 ft (113 m) depth (enrich...
