08:04 AM EDT, 04/29/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Arizona Sonoran Copper ( ASCUF ) reported Monday the completion of its inferred drilling program on the MainSpring target within the Cactus project in Arizona.

Highlights include 368 meters of 0.56% copper, 436 meters of 0.32% copper and 294 meters of 0.42% copper.

"Drilling has performed extremely well for the company, outlining a new zone of copper mineralization and extending the enrichment blanket by another 3,000 feet [914 meters] to the south of our already significant Parks/Salyer project," Arizona Sonoran Chief Executive George Ogilvie said. "We believe the MainSpring results will continue to demonstrate the scalability of Cactus, reinforcing the project as a highly compelling emerging copper developer within a Tier 1 location."

The company expects to release a preliminary economic assessment on the Cactus project in the third quarter.
