Three Reasons to Follow the Arizona Gold & Silver Discovery Story
- High-Grade Discovery with Significant Growth Potential.
The Philadelphia Project continues to demonstrate the hallmarks of a significant low-sulfidation epithermal gold system with considerable exploration upside. The standout intercept to date, 20.43 metres grading 9.04 g/t gold and 34.0 g/t silver within 38.72 metres grading 5.61 g/t gold and 29.2 g/t silver (Hole PC25-156) confirmed that the Perry Zone increases in both thickness and grade at depth. Subsequent drilling has continued to expand the high-grade zone while validating the Company’s geological model, demonstrating strong continuity and well-defined structural controls on mineralization. Hydrothermal alteration has been mapped over approximately 3 km of strike, indicating a large hydrothermal system, with gold-silver mineralization localized within structurally controlled veins, breccias, and stockwork zones. Although alteration has now been identified along strike, only about 80 acres of the Company’s 3,300-acre property have been systematically explored. With BLM approval now in place for an expanded drilling program, the Company is well positioned to test the down-dip extension of the Perry Zone, the southern extension of the Arabian Fault, and the Red Hills target, further defining what management believes is a district-scale gold system.
- Excellent Metallurgy Supports Future Development Potential
Recent metallurgical test work returned outstanding gold recoveries, with 91–99% recovery achieved through agitation leaching and 84% recovery through heap leaching using HPGR crushing. Modelling indicates heap-leach recoveries could increase to approximately 86% with an extended leach cycle. The ability to support multiple processing pathways provides flexibility for future mine development, allowing higher-grade material to be processed through agitation leaching while lower-grade material may be amenable to conventional heap leaching. These findings enhance confidence in the project’s development potential while further strengthening the investment case for Philadelphia.
- Fully Funded to Accelerate Exploration
Arizona Gold & Silver is fully funded to execute its expanded exploration strategy following its $18 million institutional financing with Sorbie Bornholm. Combined with approximately $4.8 million currently in treasury and additional capital available under the Sorbie Sharing Agreement over the next 24 months, the Company has the financial flexibility to advance a multi-year exploration campaign without relying on near-term equity financing. With expanded drilling approvals in place, strong metallurgical results, multiple high-priority targets ready for drilling, and a steady stream of upcoming drill results expected, the Philadelphia Project continues to be one of the most compelling oxide gold discovery stories in the southwestern United States.
