Arizona Mining Continues Expansion of Taylor Deposit- Intersects 85 Feet of 9.4% Zinc, 12.8% Lead and 3.92 Opt Silver- More Drill Rigs Added

VANCOUVER, June 8, 2016  -Arizona Mining Inc. (TSX:AZ.TO - News) ("Arizona Mining" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of three new exploration drill holes targeting the expansion of the  Taylor Zn-Pb-Ag sulfide deposit located on its 100% owned Hermosa Project in Santa Cruz County, Arizona USA.

All holes are significant expansions to the maiden resource announced on February 1, 2016 (see Map attached).

HDS-346 intersected several zones of mineralization including 183 feet of 6.2% zinc, 7.6% lead, 0.05% copper and 2.29 opt silver, which included an interval of 85 feet of 9.4% zinc, 12.8% lead, 0.09% copper, and 3.92 opt silver. This drill hole represents a 500 foot step out from the northwestern extent of the previously reported resource area. 

 

HDS-342 encountered 14 individual zones of mineralization including 47.5 feet of 14.1% zinc, 10.1% lead, 0.86% copper and 3.59 opt silver and another of 50.5 feet of 7.8% zinc, 5.7% lead, 0.20% copper and 2.11 opt silver. This hole is an angle hole that targeted the southern limits of mineralization as it extends to the southwest from the main portion of the resource block. 

 

HDS-340 intersected five zones of mineralization including 30 feet of 2.9% zinc; 22.7% lead; 1.09% copper and 9.22 opt silver. This drill hole represents an 800 foot step-out from the northwestern extent of the previously reported resource area. 

 

CEO Jim Gowans commented, "These excellent drill results continue to support our view that the Taylor Deposit is going to grow in size and grade and will rank with some of the world's largest base metal deposits.  We continue to aggressively pursue drilling this project and have increased the number of drill rigs from 5 to 8 to complete the current 125,000 foot program.  The deposit remains open in all directions, and to date we have drilled no blank or even weakly mineralized holes."
