Arizona Eagle Mining Corp. has intersected high-grade zinc-silver VMS-style mineralization in the final holes of its Phase 1 drill program at the Eagle Project within Arizona’s McCabe gold-silver district.

Drill hole Eagle-26-05 returned an 11.8-metre interval grading 1.7% zinc and 9.17 g/t silver from a downhole depth of 206.7 metres, including a 2.2-metre section grading 6.9% zinc and 36.30 g/t silver. Hole Eagle-26-06 intersected 0.9 metres grading 17.1% zinc and 8.15 g/t silver from 223.1 metres. The drilling extended the mineralized strike length by approximately 50 metres beyond the strike length covered by historical estimates.

The mineralization was encountered at vertical depths of approximately 150 metres, some 200 to 250 metres northeast of the McCabe Mine. The style shifts from pyrite-arsenopyrite to a sphalerite-galena rich assemblage occurring as semi-massive to matrix-fill within quartz-carbonate breccia veins.

To help delineate mineralization types and refine targets, Arizona Eagle has commissioned a detailed SkyTem airborne geophysical survey. The company plans to conduct a Phase 2 drill program following the compilation of these geophysical data and sampling results from recently acquired silver parcels. Elsewhere in the surrounding district, Edge Copper reported drill results from its Zonia project on July 29, 2026, intersecting 290 ft at 0.40% CuT including 50 ft at 1.69% CuT beyond the PEA design pit.

“The recently concluded Phase 1 drill program has validated our belief that high-grade gold and silver mineralization remains open beyond the area covered by the Historical Estimate. With the system open along strike and our drilling now stepping out toward our recently acquired Eagle Silver Project, we are excited about the district-scale exploration potential we are unlocking. Our second hole successfully tested the northeast extension beyond an interpreted fault offset where historic mining and underground exploration stopped. This shows the potential to define additional mineralization northeast of the area covered by the Historical Estimate. Holes five and six have intersected zinc-silver VMS type mineralization, which appears to be similar to that of the past-producing Iron King Mine, located four kilometers to the north. Initial drilling and sampling have identified a number of exploration targets on the Eagle Project in various types of mineralization. We are now compiling these results and have also commissioned a detailed SkyTem airborne geophysical survey to help delineate mineralization types and refine targets for a Phase 2 drill program.”
