Arizona Metals Files NI 43-101 Technical Report for Kay Mine PEA…

Event summary

Arizona Metals Corp. filed an NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Kay Mine Project PEA on June 12, 2026, with an effective date of April 30, 2026.
The PEA is based on a mineral resource estimate of 9.28 million tonnes (Indicated) and 0.86 million tonnes (Inferred).
The Technical Report was prepared by G Mining Services with contributions from SGS Canada Inc., WestLand Engineering, and HALEY & ALDRICH.
The Kay Mine Project is a steeply dipping VMS deposit defined from 60m to at least 900m and remains open for expansion.
The Company also owns the Sugarloaf Peak Project, with a historic estimate of 100 million short tons containing 1.5 million ounces gold.

The big picture

The filing of the NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Kay Mine Project marks a critical step in the preliminary economic assessment phase, providing a foundation for further feasibility studies. The project's significant mineral resources and open potential for expansion position it within the broader trend of advancing high-potential mining assets in Arizona. However, the reliance on Inferred resources and the need for additional permitting and financing highlight the typical risks associated with moving from PEA to more advanced stages of project development.
