Arizona Gold and Silver CEO Mike Stark joined Steve Darling from Proactive at the company’s Philadelphia project in Arizona to provide an update on ongoing drilling activity, permitting progress, and the broader development outlook for the highly prospective exploration asset.

Stark reported that drilling at hole 169 was nearing completion and continued to show encouraging visual indications within the drill core, reinforcing management’s confidence in the expanding mineralized system at the project. He noted that interest in the Philadelphia property remains strong, with the company recently hosting another interested party at the site as exploration and development activity continues to accelerate.

The company remains focused on expanding mineralization surrounding drill hole 156, which Stark described as Arizona Gold & Silver’s “best hole ever.” Follow-up drilling in the area has continued to produce encouraging results, including the identification of a vein system measuring approximately 165 metres wide. Management believes the area surrounding hole 156 may represent a key growth zone capable of supporting additional discoveries and potentially expanding the overall scale of the mineralized system.

Arizona Gold & Silver is currently drilling from Bureau of Land Management (BLM) pad two while simultaneously preparing for future exploration work from pad ten. Once final permits are received, the company intends to test mineralization beneath hole 156 in an effort to further evaluate the depth potential and continuity of the high-grade zone. Stark indicated that the permitting process is progressing well and suggested final approval could arrive in the near term.

The company also continues to work closely with the Bureau of Land Management to secure additional approvals that would support expanded drilling operations across the property. Stark described recent discussions with regulators as constructive and positive, emphasizing that the company has encountered “no red flags” during the permitting process. Management believes continued permitting progress could serve as an important catalyst as exploration advances.

Financially, Stark said Arizona Gold & Silver remains in a strong position to continue executing its exploration strategy. He stated that the company is well-funded with an estimated “two-to-three-year runway” following advancement of the Sorbie transaction, which he said was nearing completion after recent discussions with the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Infrastructure remains another important strategic advantage for the Philadelphia project. Stark highlighted the property’s proximity to essential infrastructure, including nearby access to power, water, and transportation networks located approximately six miles from the site. These factors could become increasingly important should continued drilling success support future development scenarios.
