[{"type":"text","content":" Infill drilling is expanding the higher grade core Hydro and metallurgical holes are now drilled for detailed engineering CASA GRANDE, Ariz. & TORONTO / Feb 21, 2023 / Business Wire / Arizona Sonoran Copper Company Inc. (TSX:ASCU | OTCQX:ASCUF) (“ASCU” or the “Company”) announces assays from 7 drill holes from the Parks/Salyer infill program. Drill spacing from the Parks/Salyer deposit is being reduced to 250 ft (76 m), with the aim to upgrade the current inferred mineral resource to an indicated category. The total program consists of 105,000 ft (32,000 m) or 46 holes, of which 35 infill core holes (77,720.5 ft | 23,689 m) have now been drilled. Parks/Salyer (“P/S”) is located on contiguous land ~1.3 mi (2 km) southwest of the Company’s Cactus Mine Project (see FIGURES 1-11). The program continues to support the tenor of mineralization and has extended the high-grade zones in the north and south as per the grade thickness map. Drilling has been staged to infill areas closest to the inferred high-grade core initially, before expanding out towards the west. Additionally, the Company has successfully completed three hydrology holes at Parks/Salyer consisting of one oriented core hole and two previously drilled metallurgical holes. The hydrology holes will collect groundwater data in the vicinity of the Parks/Salyer deposit.

This infill to indicated drilling program, now 74% complete, was designed to improve the resource category thus demonstrating an initial reserve calculation and is expected to be finalized by the end of M...
