Major Stepout Hole Intersects 33 Feet Grading 22.8% Zinc, 20.2% Lead and 12.2 Opt Silver
VANCOUVER, BC--(December 15, 2016) - Arizona Mining Inc.(TSX: AZ) ("Arizona Mining" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of three (3) exploration drill holes from its current program on the Taylor zinc-lead-silver sulfide deposit located on its 100%-owned Hermosa Project in Santa Cruz County, Arizona. This brings the total number of drill holes reported in the 2016 program to thirty-seven (37).
HDS-359 is a significant step out hole drilled approximately 1,100 feet northwest of the boundary of the previously reported resource area (see news release dated October 31, 2016). The drill hole intersected a series of high grade zinc-lead-silver veins in the volcanics before the hole was terminated well above the intended carbonate target horizons, due to difficult drilling conditions. Several well mineralized veins were intersected in the drill hole including a 33-foot thick interval assaying 22.8% zinc, 20.2% lead and 12.2 ounces per ton ("opt ") silver. True thickness of the vein is not known at this time. This hole will be drilled to completion as time and resources allow.
