Arizona Mining is currently focused on developing a project
located in Santa Cruz County, Arizona called the Hermosa
Project. The Hermosa Project is targeting specifically the
Taylor Deposit, a lead-zinc-silver carbonate replacement
deposit that has an estimated resource threshold of 39.4
million tonnes in the Inferred Mineral Resource category. The
Taylor Deposit also has an 11 percent zinc equivalent grading
‘ZnEq’ utilizing a 6 percent ZnEq cut-off grade calculated in
accordance with NI 43-101 guidelines.
3. Arizona Mining’s Taylor Deposit, which remains open to the
north, south and west, will be strategically and thoroughly
drilled to test the limits of the resource. Arizona Mining
recently completed metallurgical test work on drill core from
the Taylor Deposit using industry standard froth flotation
processing technology. The testing projects overall recoveries
of 92.9 percent Pb, 85.5 percent Zn and 91 percent Ag.
4. As part of the Taylor Deposit’s exploration, Arizona Mining
conducted and completed 25 surface diamond drill holes,
targeting the carbonate replacement zinc-lead-silver sulfide
mineral resource. The Taylor Deposit is the down-dip sulfide
extension of the Company’s silver-manganese Hermosa
Central Manto Oxide Project. The testing and drilling done by
Arizona Mining has revealed significant zinc-lead-silver
sulfide mineralization opportunities on the property.
5. In 2013, Arizona Mining also conducted a pre-feasibility study
at Hermosa. The study was aimed at ascertaining the depth
and resource level of Hermosa’s central deposit of silver-
manganese manto oxide.
Arizona Mining and its parent company, The Augusta Group,
are owned and operated by mining and resource industry
