Arizona Sonoran Copper (TSX:ASCU) Advances Drilling at Parks/Salyer Deposit, Paving the Way for 2024 Feasibility Study

George Ogilvie, Arizona Sonoran President and CEO commented in a press release: “The team continues to execute and deliver solid results as we advance our Cactus and Parks/Salyer projects. The proven continuity of the Parks/Salyer mineralization within the deposit continues to support our vision of a top tier asset within a tier 1 jurisdiction. Additionally, with the recent option of MainSpring, the Parks/Salyer southern extension, we see a tremendous opportunity to continue building the Parks/Salyer mineral resource beyond the current 2.9 billion pounds at 1.015% total copper inferred resource.”

Highlights from the results are as follows:

– Drilling replicating high-grade thicknesses from prior drill programs, including 5 new intervals in the top 10 grade thickness intervals at Parks/Salyer

– In July and August, 2 drill rigs focused in the eastern section, interpreted to be the high grade core of the deposit

– ECP-145: 937 ft (285.8 m) @ 1.41% CuT of continuous mineralization

• 639 ft (194.8 m) @ 1.78% CuT, 1.37% Cu TSol, 0.016% Mo (enriched)
