Arizona Gold drills 20.43 m of 9 g/t Au at Philadelphia

Executive Summary

• Arizona Gold & Silver reported a high‑grade intercept of 9.04 g/t Au and 34 g/t Ag over 20.43 m from 320.73 m depth in hole PC25‑156 at the Philadelphia project.
• The drill results confirm that the Perry vein system thickens and grades up with depth, showing multiple high‑grade intervals (e.g., 5.61 g/t Au & 29.2 g/t Ag over 38.72 m).
• The company plans to expand its 2026 exploration program by adding 200 acres and preparing 16 new drill pads, with three additional holes slated for Q4 2025 and further drilling into early‑2026.

Key Details

• Hole PC25‑156 results: 9.04 g/t Au & 34 g/t Ag over 20.43 m from 320.73 m depth.
• Additional high‑grade intervals in the same hole:
• 5.61 g/t Au & 29.2 g/t Ag over 38.72 m from 312.50 m depth.
• 45.60 g/t Au & 54.9 g/t Ag over 1.19 m from 325.64 m depth.
• Vein characteristics: Large, thick Au‑Ag vein‑style deposit; mineralization hosted in brecciated, banded and massive quartz veins with visible fine‑grained gold.
• Metallic screen analyses underway for holes PC25‑154, ‑155, and ‑156 to evaluate particle gold impact.
• Exploration plan 2025–2026:
• Core rig arriving October 2025 to drill three additional holes, extending drilling into early 2026.
• Amendment submitted to BLM to expand the exploration area by 200 acres and develop 16 new drill pads for 2026 operations.
• Planned ability to drill down‑dip and along strike an additional ~500 m and run multiple rigs simultaneously.
• QA/QC procedures: HQ core, chain of custody to Skyline Labs (ISO 9001), fire assay with AA finish for Au, four‑acid digestion/ICP‑MS for Ag; samples >5 ppm Au re‑assayed gravimetrically (10 such samples).
• Qualified Person: Gregory Hahn, VP Exploration, P. Geol. No. 7122, NI 43‑101 qualified.

Notable Quotes

“These outstanding results validate our belief in the untapped potential at depth within the Perry vein system… Our 2026 exploration expansion reflects our confidence in this project's ability to evolve into a significant gold‑silver deposit in Arizona.” – Mike Stark, President & CEO

Materiality Assessment: Material – Positive (significant high‑grade drill intercepts and expanded 2026 drilling program indicating potential for a sizable resource).
