Arizona Gold samples up to 7.95% Sb at Silverton

Executive Summary

• Arizona Gold & Silver Inc. reported high‑grade antimony chip samples from the Silverton Antimony‑Gold project in Nevada, with a peak grade of 7.95 % Sb and an average of 1.38 % Sb across 14 samples.
• The results confirm a sizable near‑surface antimony target covering roughly 500 m (strike) × 300 m (width) and support the company’s plan to commence a 27‑hole reverse‑circulation drilling program pending BLM permit.
• Historical data show over 2,000 legacy rock samples with numerous >1 % Sb occurrences, many of which also contain anomalous gold (up to >1 g/t Au) and silver.

Key Details

• Sampling Program: Collected 14 chip samples from stibnite‑quartz veins and adjacent silicified/argillized ash‑flow tuff; sample lengths ranged 7.5–61.0 cm.
• Highest Grade: 7.95 % Sb from a vein 25.4 cm wide.
• Average Grade: 1.38 % Sb (including non‑vein material).
• Sampling Footprint: Strike length ≈500 m, width ≈300 m.
• Analytical Work: Sample prep at ALS Global Labs (Tucson, AZ); MS‑ICP analyses in Vancouver, BC; overlimit determinations in Loughrea, Ireland.
• Historical Context: 2002‑2004 Newcrest program focused on bulk‑tonnage gold; historic database contains >2,000 rock samples, with:

• 25 surface samples > 1 % Sb (no overlimits assayed)

• 95 surface samples > 1,000 ppm Sb
• 217 surface samples > 200 ppm Sb
• Associated Metals: Samples also show anomalous gold (0.1–>1 g/t Au) and silver values.
• Historic Drilling: Newcrest drilled 15 RC holes; one hole (S‑18) intersected 20 ft of >1 % Sb between 100‑120 ft depth (overlimits not assayed).
• Target Zone: Identified a ≈900 m × 400 m clay‑altered zone with dense quartz‑stibnite veining, visible on satellite imagery.
• Drilling Permit: U.S. BLM has accepted the financial guarantee for reclamation; permits allow 27 RC holes from 17 drill pads—road and pad construction can start immediately.
• Qualified Person: Gregory Hahn, VP Exploration (NI 43‑101 Qualified Person), reviewed and approved all technical information.

“The high‑grade antimony intercepts we are seeing confirm the presence of a substantial near‑surface antimony system that has been overlooked for years,” said Gregory Hahn, Vice President – Exploration.
