\nArizona Metals Corp. begins trading today on OTCQX under the symbol \u201cAZMCF.\u201d U.S. investors can find current financial disclosure and Real-Time Level 2 quotes for the company on https:\/\/www.otcmarkets.com\/stock\/AZMCF\/overview<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n \nThe OTCQX Market is designed for established, investor-focused U.S. and international companies. To qualify for OTCQX, companies must meet high financial standards, follow best practice corporate governance, and demonstrate compliance with applicable securities laws. Graduating to the OTCQX Market from the OTCQB Market marks an important milestone for companies, enabling them to demonstrate their qualifications and build visibility among U.S. investors.\n<\/p>\n \nDTC is a subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation and manages the electronic clearing and settlement of publicly traded companies. Securities that are eligible to be electronically cleared and settled through the DTC are considered “DTC eligible”. This reduces costs and accelerates the settlement process for investors and brokers, allowing the stock to be traded over a much wider selection of brokerage firms by coming into compliance with their requirements.\n<\/p>\n \nMarc Pais, CEO, commented \u201cWe are pleased to trade on the OTCQX Market, which will provide increased accessibility and liquidity for U.S. investors. The timing coincides well with our Phase 2 drill program at the Kay Mine, which began two weeks ago. We expect to release a steady flow of drill results over the coming months. We are expecting to close an over-subscribed private placement of CDN$10 million later this week, which will put us in a very strong financial position to complete an aggressive drill program. We will issue another press release on closing of the financing.\u201d\n<\/p>\n About Arizona Metals Corp<\/b><\/p>\n \nArizona Metals Corp owns 100% of the Kay Mine Property in Yavapai County, which is located on a combination of patented and BLM claims totaling 1,300 acres that are not subject to any royalties. An historic estimate by Exxon Minerals in 1982 reported a \u201cproven and probable reserve of 6.4 million short tons at a grade of 2.2% copper, 2.8 g\/t gold, 3.03% zinc, and 55 g\/t silver.\u201d The historic estimate at the Kay Mine was reported by Exxon Minerals in 1982. (Fellows, M.L., 1982, Kay Mine massive sulphide deposit: Internal report prepared for Exxon Minerals Company)\n<\/p>\n \n*The Kay Mine historic estimate has not been verified as a current mineral resource. None of the key assumptions, parameters, and methods used to prepare the historic estimate were reported, and no resource categories were used. Significant data compilation, re-drilling and data verification may be required by a Qualified Person before the historic estimate can be verified and upgraded to be a current mineral resource. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify it as a current mineral resource, and Arizona Metals is not treating the historic estimate as a current mineral resource.\n<\/p>\n \nThe Kay Mine is a steeply dipping VMS deposit that has been defined from a depth of 60 m to at least 900 m. It is open for expansion on strike and at depth.\n<\/p>\n \nThe Company also owns 100% of the Sugarloaf Peak Property, in La Paz County, which is located on 4,400 acres of BLM claims. Sugarloaf is a heap-leach, open-pit target and has a historic estimate of \u201c100 million tons containing 1.5 million ounces gold\u201d at a grade of 0.5 g\/t (Dausinger, N.E., 1983, Phase 1 Drill Program and Evaluation of Gold-Silver Potential, Sugarloaf Peak Project, Quartzsite, Arizona: Report for Westworld Inc.)\n<\/p>\n \nThe historic estimate at the Sugarloaf Peak Property was reported by Westworld Resources in 1983. The historic estimate has not been verified as a current mineral resource. None of the key assumptions, parameters, and methods used to prepare the historic estimate were reported, and no resource categories were used. Significant data compilation, re-drilling and data verification may be required by a Qualified Person before the historic estimate can be verified and upgraded to a current mineral resource. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify it as a current mineral resource, and Arizona Metals is not treating the historic estimate as a current mineral resource.\n<\/p>\n \nThe Qualified Person who reviewed and approved the technical disclosure in this release is David Smith, CPG.\n<\/p>\n Quality Assurance\/Quality Control<\/b><\/p>\n \nAll of Arizona Metals\u2019 drill sample assay results have been independently monitored through a quality assurance\/quality control (\u201cQA\/QC\u201d) protocol which includes the insertion of blind standard reference materials and blanks at regular intervals. Logging and sampling were completed at Arizona Metals\u2019 core handling facilities located in Anthem and Black Canyon City, Arizona. Drill core was diamond sawn on site and half drill-core samples were securely transported to ALS Laboratories\u2019 (\u201cALS\u201d) sample preparation facility in Tucson, Arizona. Sample pulps were sent to ALS\u2019s labs in Vancouver, Canada, for analysis.\n<\/p>\n \nGold content was determined by fire assay of a 30-gram charge with ICP finish (ALS method Au-AA23). Silver and 32 other elements were analyzed by ICP methods with four-acid digestion (ALS method ME-ICP61a). Over-limit samples for Au, Ag, Cu, and Zn were determined by ore-grade analyses Au-GRA21, Ag-OG62, Cu-OG62, and Zn-OG62, respectively.\n<\/p>\n \nALS Laboratories is independent of Arizona Metals Corp. and its Vancouver facility is ISO 17025 accredited. ALS also performed its own internal QA\/QC procedures to assure the accuracy and integrity of results. Parameters for ALS\u2019 internal and Arizona Metals\u2019 external blind quality control samples were acceptable for the samples analyzed.
