Arizona Sonoran Copper Company Inc. announces that the City of Casa Grande has approved the rezoning for the northern parcel of the MainSpring Property (?Parks/Salyer South?) to Industrial use. Rezoning the northern parcel allows ASCU to begin drilling and an exploration plan is being prepared. The southern parcel of Parks/Salyer South is still in process with the City of Casa Grande for rezoning and a General Plan Amendment.

Additionally, the Company has acquired a 2.5 acre Mineral Exploration Permit (?MEP?) within the Parks/Salyer deposit. By acquiring the MEP and Parks/Salyer South, ASCU gains a low-risk, high impact exploration target and operational flexibility for future operations. As a recap, the Parks/Salyer mineral resource contains a total of 2.9 billion pounds at a grade of 1.015% Copper, inferred, and is currently bounded at the Parks/Salyer border.

The Company is expecting to issue an updated mineral resource update on the entire Cactus Project, inclusive of Parks/Salyer in fourth quarter of 2023. The 2.5 acre MEP situated at the southern border of the Parks/Salyer deposit, was received from Arizona State Lands. The parcel is located at the intersection of Parks/Salyer, Bronco-Creek and the Parks/Salyer South properties.

The MEP also allows improved access to mineralized material and eliminates the potential of sterilization related to mine planning activities adjacent to this parcel.
