Drill Program Commences To Expand Taylor Deposit

 

VANCOUVER - Arizona Mining Inc. reported that it has commenced its new drill program on the Taylor Deposit. The program will start with approximately 6-8 widely spaced drill holes with the focus on extending the current resource onto the newly acquired Trench patented mining claims, which are to the northwest of the existing resource. The Company will also test the extension of the resource to the south. The results from these initial holes will assist in designing the program for future holes

Arizona Mining is a Canadian mineral exploration and development company focused on the exploration and development of its 80% owned Hermosa Project located in Santa Cruz County, Arizona. The Taylor Deposit, a lead-zinc-silver carbonate replacement deposit, has a resource of 39.4 million tonnes in the Inferred Mineral Resource category grading 11% zinc equivalent ("ZnEq") utilizing a 6% ZnEq cutoff grade calculated in accordance with NI 43-101 guidelines. The Taylor Deposit remains open to the north, west and south over land controlled by the Company and will be aggressively drilled to test the limits of the resource. The Company recently completed metallurgical test work on drill core from the Taylor Deposit that projects overall recoveries of 92.9% Pb; 85.5% Zn and 91% Ag using industry standard froth flotation processing technology. The Company's other project on the Hermosa property is the Central Deposit, a silver-manganese manto oxide development project that has a prefeasibility study completed in December 2013.
