Arizona Eagle Mining Corp. has returned surface sampling results from the Eagle Silver Zone and Esmeralda Gold Zone at its Eagle Project in Yavapai County, Arizona, highlighting silver grades up to 467 g/t and outcrop gold values reaching 8.5 g/t.

The company tested strike lengths across three past-producing silver mines acquired in August 2026 to consolidate the property. Sampling over roughly 500 metres of strike between the past-producing Arizona National and Silver Belt mines yielded highlighted silver assays of 467 g/t, 455 g/t, 340 g/t, 271 g/t, 182 g/t, 172 g/t, and 136 g/t. Additional outcrop sampling about 500 metres southwest of the past-producing McCabe Mine returned gold grades of 8.5 g/t, 2.5 g/t, and 1.1 g/t.

Arizona Eagle holds a 100% interest in the 4,169-acre project, anchored by the McCabe Mine. Historical operator Stan West Mining previously published an estimate of approximately 880,000 ounces of gold grading 11.7 g/t and 5 million ounces of silver grading 69 g/t in 1984. The new sampling demonstrates potential for parallel vein mineralization and strike extensions beyond historical workings that ceased production in 1931 at shallow oxidized depths of up to 150 metres.

“In August of this year, Arizona Eagle completed the strategic acquisition of three past-producing high-grade silver mines, consolidating the Eagle Silver Project located within close proximity of the gold and silver McCabe Mine. These mines served as major sources of silver production in Arizona until the 1930s and have been privately held and dormant for almost 100 years.

“Applying the same strategy we are employing at the McCabe gold-silver deposit, there is the opportunity to revive these mines through the application of modern exploration methods and systematic drilling, with exploration potential in one of Arizona's most prolific historic gold-silver districts. We are now compiling these sample results with the Phase 1 drill program results and have also commissioned a detailed SkyTem airborne geophysical survey, expected to begin this quarter.” — Kevin Reid, Chief Executive Officer of Arizona Eagle

Field work at the property continues with the upcoming SkyTem airborne geophysical survey and the compilation of sampling data alongside Phase 1 drill program results.
