([TSX.V:AMC]( [OTCQX:AZMCF]( (the "Company" or "Arizona Metals") is pleased to announce the results of an additional four drill holes at the recently discovered gold-rich zone of open-ended mineralization at the Kay Mine, in an area previously untested by historic drilling or exploration. Figure 1. Section view looking north. See Tables 1 and 2 for additional details. The true width of mineralization is estimated to be 50% to 97% of reported core width, with an average of 80%.(Graphic: Business Wire) Branch Hole 27B intersected 97 m at a grade of 1.3% Cu, 1.6 g/t Au, 3.2% Zn, and 32 g/t Ag, including higher-grade intervals of 15 m grading 5.0% Cu, 0.4 g/t Au, 0.4% Zn, and 19 g/t Ag, as well as 21 m grading 4.6 g/t Au, 9.0% Zn, 0.9% Cu, and 82 g/t Ag. This hole is the deepest drilled to date by Arizona Metals Corp, and extends the new gold-zinc discovery zone by 20%, to a depth of 750 metres. Branch Hole 27A intersected 103 m at a grade of 0.8% Cu, 1.1 g/t Au, 1.9% Zn, and 36 g/t Ag, including higher grade intervals of 21 m grading 3.2% Cu, 1.4 g/t Au, 1.3% Zn, and 19 g/t Ag, as well as 18 m grading 0.7% Cu, 2.7 g/t Au, 4.7% Zn, and 92 g/t Ag. Hole 28, which was drilled to test for vertical continuity of high-grade zones between holes 25 and 24, intersected 54 m at a grade of 1.9% Cu, 2.9 g/t Au, 5.0% Zn, and 29 g/t Ag, from a vertical depth of 585 m below surface. Hole 28 includes three separate higher-grade intervals of 11.4 m grading 4.3 g/t Au, 9.3% Zn, 0.5% Cu and 32 g/t Ag, as well as 7.9 m grading 4.4% Cu, 9.5 g/t Au, 10.3% Zn, and 93 g/t Ag, and also 2.2 m grading 16.1% Cu, 0.8 g/t Au, and 56 g/t Ag. Hole 27 was drilled as a trunk hole at the northern edge of the new discovery zone, and intersected 31.4 m grading 1.6% Cu, 0.2 g/t Au, 0.7% Zn and 9.0 g/t Ag, and 26 m further downhole, intersected 13 m grading 2.9% Cu, 0.5 g/t Au, 0.2% Zn, and 8.4 g/t Ag. These newly defined, wide, high-grade intervals demonstrate the potential to add a significant tonnage of gold-zinc mineralization outside of the historic resource. Marc Pais, CEO, commented "The four drill holes released today validate and extend the new gold-rich zinc zone discovery, with broad intervals of mineralization in the discovery zone ranging from 54 m to 103 m, and true widths estimated at an average of 80%. Hole 27 demonstrates that mineralization extends at least 100 m deeper than reported by previous operators. Holes 27A and 27B have encountered excellent grades and thicknesses, as good or better than those reported in the discovery holes, while also demonstrating the potential for the discovery zone to both extend at depth and increase on strike as it deepens. The first few holes drilled in the discovery zone were on a large step-out spacing of 100 m to 150 m. Subsequent branch holes to infill between these holes are demonstrating excellent vertical continuity, as well as lateral extension of mineralization on strike to both the north and south. Of particular note is hole 28 (located at the vertical mid-point of holes 24 and 25), which intersected 54m of mineralization, including significant intervals of higher grade within. This hole is the widest zone of high-grade drilled at the project to date, and demonstrates excellent continuity of both grade and thickness with the holes above and below. Today's results have increased the vertical extent of the discovery zone (now defined from hole 21A to 27) to approximately 400 m. Drill holes are currently underway to test for further extensions by testing 200 m above hole 21A and also 200 m below hole 27. With the recently completed financing of $21 million, the Company is fully-funded to complete the 75,000 metre Phase 2 expansion program." Covid-19 Monitoring and Mitigation Procedures The Company's drill contractor, Boart Longyear, has instituted Covid-19 monitoring procedures for all drill crew members, including daily temperature and symptom checks. Arizona Metals Corp will be provided with daily health tracking updates for the drill crews and has also instituted its own social distancing policies and provided a guidance manual for employees at site.

Locations of Phase 1 and 2 Program drill holes completed and in progress at Kay Mine, Arizona About Arizona Metals Corp Arizona 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 "proven 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." The historic estimate at the Kay Mine was reported by Exxon Minerals in 1982. 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" (as defined in National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects) 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. The 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. The 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 "100 million tons containing 1.5 million ounces gold" at a grade of 0.5 g/t (Dausinger, 1983, Westworld Resources). The 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. Qualified Person and Quality Assurance/Quality Control All of Arizona Metals' drill sample assay results have been independently monitored through a quality assurance/quality control ("QA/QC") protocol which includes the insertion of blind standard reference materials and blanks at regular intervals. Logging and sampling were completed at Arizona Metals' 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' ("ALS") sample preparation facility in Tucson, Arizona. Sample pulps were sent to ALS's labs in Vancouver, Canada, for analysis. Gold 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. ALS 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' internal and Arizona Metals' external blind quality control samples were acceptable for the samples analyzed. Arizona Metals is not aware of any drilling, sampling, recovery, or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data referred to herein.
