[{"type":"text","content":"CASA GRANDE, Ariz. & TORONTO / Apr 05, 2022 / Business Wire / Arizona Sonoran Copper Company Inc. (TSX:ASCU | OTCQX:ASCUF) (“ASCU” or the “Company”), an emerging US-based copper developer and near-term producer, today released an additional 2 drill holes (4,725 ft | 1,440 m) from a 12-hole program at the Parks/Salyer (“P/S”) Project, of which six holes have now been reported. Assay results from this most recent drilling extend known mineralization a minimum of 500 ft west of prior drilling (see FIGURES 1-4). The initial drill program comprises 24,000 ft (~7300 m) and aims to test the extension of the porphyry copper system from the southern border of its Parks/Salyer property along the mine trend towards the Cactus Mine and within the newly defined Exploration Target Area. Highlights: - ECP-057 - 199.4 ft @ 0.86% CuT, 0.81% TSol, 0.033% Mo – Oxides Incl. 102.0 ft @ 1.04% CuT, 0.97% TSol, 0.028% Mo – Oxides 302.0 ft @ 1.23% CuT, 1.21% TSol, 0.021% Mo – Enriched Incl. 10.0 ft @ 7.95% CuT, 7.94% TSol, 0.112% Mo and 75 ft @ 1.65% CuT 1.64% TSol, 0.037% Mo 427.0 ft @ 0.19% CuT, 0.009% Mo – Primary - ECP-065 - 439.7 ft @ 0.92% CuT, 0.90% TSol, 0.033% Mo – Enriched Incl. 85.0 ft @ 1.43% CuT, 1.40% TSol, 0.042% Mo and 137.0 ft @ 1.19% CuT, 1.17% TSol, 0.053% Mo 687.7 ft @ 0.23% CuT, 0.005% Mo – Primary Notable to both holes, which were drilled on the west side of known mineralization, was the presence of higher-grade molybdenum results in both the oxide and enriched mineralization zones. Both holes support mineralization remaining open in all directions. According to a 2019 ionic soil survey, which did not delimit the extents of the system, mineralization is open to the northwest for at least another 1,970 ft (600 m). Anomalous copper values from the ionic sampling (FIGURE 5) outline a northeast geochemical trend that parallels early successful drilling. A separate northwest trend is similarly defined by higher copper values and is being tested by current drilling. Similar patterns were outlined by molybdenum, gold and silver. Samples were collected on 328 ft (100 m) centers over the 160-acre parcel. George Ogilvie, Arizona Sonoran President and CEO stated, “Parks/Salyer exploration results continue to support our preliminary large-scale exploration target with Cactus East-style porphyry copper. While the target is running on a nort...
