Arizona Metals Expands Kay Deposit with High-Grade Drill Results
Event summary
- Arizona Metals intersected 22.4 meters at 1.1% CuEq in the Kay deposit, proving geological continuity and potential for additional tonnage.
- Drill hole KM-25-190 intersected 2.4 meters at 0.7% CuEq along the northern extension of the mineralized horizon.
- The company plans to deliver a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the Kay Mine deposit in Q1 2026.
- Assays are pending for six drill holes from the Sugarloaf Peak Gold Project, with initial results expanding the deposit footprint.
The big picture
Arizona Metals' latest drill results reinforce the potential for significant resource expansion at the Kay deposit, a steeply dipping VMS system open for growth on strike and at depth. The company's systematic exploration strategy aims to capitalize on the clustered nature of VMS deposits, with ongoing drilling and modern exploration techniques designed to optimize future drill targeting. The upcoming PEA will be critical in assessing the economic viability of the Kay Mine deposit, which currently hosts a substantial mineral resource estimate.
