Arizona Gold & Silver Sampling Returns up to 7.95% Antimony from the Silverton Antimony-Gold Project, Nevada

Executive Summary

• Arizona Gold & Silver Inc. reported high‑grade antimony chip samples from the Silverton gold‑antimony project in Nevada, with a maximum of 7.95% Sb and an average of 1.38% Sb across 14 samples.
• The company has secured a financial guarantee from the U.S. BLM, permitting a planned 27‑hole reverse‑circulation drilling program from 17 drill pads, which can commence immediately.
• Historic data show extensive surface antimony occurrences (≥1 % Sb) and prior RC holes intersecting >1 % Sb, supporting a sizable antimony target zone (~900 m × 400 m).

Key Details

• Sample Program: 14 rock chip samples collected from stibnite‑quartz veins and adjacent silicified ash‑flow tuff; lengths 7.5–61.0 cm.
• Highest Grade: 7.95% Sb from a 25.4 cm wide vein.
• Average Grade: 1.38% Sb (including non‑vein material).
• Sampling Area: Strike length ~500 m, width ~300 m.
• Analytical Labs: Sample prep – ALS Global Labs (Tucson, AZ); MS‑ICP – ALS Global Labs (Vancouver, BC); over‑limit analyses – ALS Lab (Loughrea, Ireland).
• Historic Database: >2,000 rock samples; 25 surface samples >1 % Sb, 95 samples >1,000 ppm Sb, 217 samples >200 ppm Sb. Many contain 0.1–1.0 g/t Au.
• Prior Drilling (Newcrest): 15 RC holes; one hole (S‑18) intersected 20 ft of ≥1 % Sb between 100–120 ft depth (over‑limits not assayed).
• Target Zone: ~900 m × 400 m clay‑altered area with dense quartz‑stibnite veining identified via satellite imagery.
• Drilling Permit: U.S. BLM accepted financial guarantee; permits cover 27 RC holes from 17 pads; road and pad construction can start immediately.
• Qualified Person: Gregory Hahn, VP‑Exploration (NI 43‑101 Qualified Person).
