[{"type":"text","content":"CASA GRANDE, Ariz. & TORONTO / Jan 17, 2023 / Business Wire / Arizona Sonoran Copper Company Inc. (TSX:ASCU | OTCQX:ASCUF) (“ASCU” or the “Company”) today announces 60% completion of its 105,000 ft (32,000 m) infill to indicated drilling program at Parks/Salyer (“P/S\"), located ~1.3 mi (2 km) southwest of the Company’s Cactus Mine Project (see FIGURES 1-10). A total of 27 holes have now been drilled out of an anticipated 46 holes, with assays received to date for 15 holes, including the five reported in this release. The program continues to support the tenor of mineralization while reducing drill spacing from 500 ft (150 m) to 250 ft (76 m) centres, suitable to upgrade the resource from the inferred category to the indicated category. Drilling has been staged to infill areas closest to the inferred high-grade core initially, before expanding out towards the west. Highlights: ECP-108 grade thickness surpasses the prior best intercept on the property ECP-108: 872.5 ft (265.9 m) @ 1.64% CuT of continuous mineralization, including: 621.0 ft (189.3 m) @ 2.00% CuT, 1.58% Cu TSol, 0.013% Mo (enriched) Incl. 108.0 ft (32.9 m) @ 2.58% CuT, 2.45% Cu TSol, 0.009% Mo 251.5 ft (76.7 m) @ 0.73% CuT, 0.019% Mo (primary) ECP-107: 1,188.9 ft (362.4 m) @ 0.68% CuT of continuous mineralization, including: 489.5 ft (149.2 m) @ 1.19% CuT, 1.13% Cu TSol, 0.013% Mo (enriched) Incl. 139.3 ft (42.5 m) @ 2.42% CuT, 2.39% Cu TSol, 0.010% Mo 699.4 ft (213.2 m) @ 0.33% CuT, 0.012% Mo (primary) ECP-110: 762.2 ft (232.3 m) @ 0.90% CuT of continuous mineralization, including: 419.0 ft (127.7 m) @ 1.15% CuT, 1.01% Cu TSol, 0.005% Mo (enriched) 343.2 ft (104.6 m) @ 0.58 % CuT, 0.011% Mo (primary) ECP-111: 443.0 ft (135.0 m) @ 0.78% CuT, 0.71% Cu TSol, 0.035% Mo (enriched) NOTE: True widths are not known George Ogilvie, Arizona Sonoran President and CEO commented, “This drilling continues to demonstrate the consistency of copper grade and thickness, in both the leachable and primary sulphide mineralization and within the high-grade core of the Parks/Salyer deposit. Two drills will finish the remaining 40% of the drill program this quarter, while a third drill rig will move to the NE Extension to conduct exploration holes. This infill drilling will allow us to upgrade the Parks/Salyer resource from its current inferred category to an indicated category, that...
