Executive Summary

• Arizona Metals appointed Pamela L. Saxton to its board of directors, effective Sept. 17, 2025, filling vacancies left by three departing independent directors.
• New drill results extend the Kay deposit depth to 1,350 m and demonstrate north‑strike continuity on the Kay North Extension, with notable intercepts such as 4.3 m @ 2.6% CuEq (KM‑25‑177A) and 0.6 m @ 4.8% CuEq (KM‑25‑185).
• The company plans to commence a 5,000 m reverse‑circulation drill program at the Sugarloaf Peak gold project in mid‑September, with contractors already mobilized.

Key Details

• Board Appointment
• Pamela L. Saxton joins the board as an independent director; brings 35+ years of senior leadership and finance experience in mining.
• Vacancies created by resignations of Michael Pilmer, Katherine Arnold, and Rosa Espinoza (effective Sept. 17, 2025).
• Kay Deposit – Depth Extension
• Hole KM‑25‑177A intersected 4.3 m @ 2.6% CuEq, extending mineralization 280 m below the previous deepest intercept (KM‑24‑173: 2.4 m @ 2.7% CuEq).
• Total downdip length of drilled mineralization now ~1,350 m.
• Kay North Extension – On‑Strike Continuity
• Hole KM‑25‑185 intersected 0.6 m @ 4.8% CuEq; hole KM‑25‑186 (example) intersected 0.3 m @ 3.2% CuEq.
• Drilling extended mineralized horizon ~440 m north of the Kay deposit, confirming continuity of the Kay mineralized horizon.
• Additional Intercepts
• Other holes in the North Extension returned anomalous copper, zinc, and gold along the same horizon and parallel horizons (details in Table 1).
• Sugarloaf Peak Project – Upcoming Drilling
• Planned 5,000 m of reverse‑circulation drilling slated to start mid‑September.
• Road and drill contractors selected; road crews already mobilized; geology team ready.
• Technical QA/QC
