ARIZONA SONORAN COPPER CO - ASCUF STOCK NEWS

Arizona Sonoran Copper Company (TSX:ASCU | OTCQX:ASCUF) has announced new drilling results extending primary copper mineralization around the Cactus West Pit by 750 ft south and 500 ft southwest. The drilling program, part of the 2024 Nuton Work Program sponsored by Rio Tinto's Nuton , confirms significant primary sulphide intervals with highlights including 1,463 ft @ 0.31% CuT and 987 ft @ 0.34% CuT. The current drilling aims to further delineate mineralization beneath existing oxides and enriched sulphides, targeting untested areas to expand future opportunities. The results will not be included in the pending Preliminary Economic Assessment but indicate potential for increased copper resources.

The Cactus Project, including Parks/Salyer, holds substantial reserves, with Cactus West contributing 75.5 Mtons @ 0.26% Cu TSol and primary sulphide estimates of 72.9 Mtons @ 0.34% CuT M&I and 120.4 Mtons @ 0.34% CuT inferred.

Arizona Sonoran Copper Company (TSX: ASCU, OTCQX: ASCUF) has announced results from its infill drilling program at MainSpring, part of its Cactus Project in Arizona. The program aims to upgrade the mineral resource classification and support an open-pit design. Initial drilling results include 827 ft at 0.30% CuT, with detailed assays provided for multiple drill holes. The company plans to include these findings in a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) due in Q3 2024. The study will incorporate Nuton Technologies' leaching methods to explore economic potential. The program is funded by ASCU and Nuton Technologies under a joint venture agreement. George Ogilvie, CEO, emphasized the potential to benefit from current copper market cycles and aims for a construction decision in the near term.

Arizona Sonoran Copper Company Inc. (ASCU) has reported the successful completion of its inferred drilling program on MainSpring, confirming the continuation of thick enrichment and the presence of enriched mineralization. The completion of the program extended mineralization over 2,500 ft x 3,000 ft within an interpreted horst block. An exploration of a new open pit within the property bounds around MainSpring within the PEA expected in Q3 2024 is planned.
