Statements contained in this presentation that are not historical facts are “forward-looking information” or “forward- looking statements” (collectively, “Forward-Looking Information”) within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation and the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward Looking Information includes, but is not limited to, disclosure regarding possible events, conditions or financial performance that is based on assumptions about future economic conditions and courses of action; the timing and costs of future exploration and testing activities on the Company’s properties; success of exploration activities; time lines for technical reports; planned exploration and development of properties and the results thereof; and planned expenditures and budgets and the execution thereof. Statements concerning historical mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to constitute forward looking information to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed. In certain cases, Forward-Looking Information can be identified by the use of words and phrases such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, budget”, “scheduled”, “suggest”, “optimize”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “potential” or “does not anticipate”, believes”, “anomalous” or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. In making the forward-looking statements in this presentation, the Company has applied several material assumptions, including, but not limited to, that the current testing and other objectives concerning the Kay Mine Project and Sugarloaf Peak project can be achieved and that its other corporate activities will proceed as expected; that the current price and demand for gold will be sustained or will improve; that general business and economic conditions will not change in a materially adverse manner and that all necessary governmental approvals for the planned exploration on the Kay Mine Project and Sugarloaf Peak projects will be obtained in a timely manner and on acceptable terms; the continuity of the price of gold and other metals, that the Company’s existing patented and unpatented land has not been altered by any designation under U.S. Federal statute or other laws and economic and political conditions and operations. Forward-Looking Information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance

  • r achievements expressed or implied by the Forward-Looking
  • Information. Such risks and other factors include, among
  • thers, obtaining financing on commercially reasonable terms,
  • perations and contractual obligations; changes in exploration

programs based upon results of exploration; future prices of metals; availability of third party contractors; availability of equipment; failure of equipment to operate as anticipated; accidents, effects of weather and other natural phenomena and

  • ther

risks associated with the mineral exploration industry; environmental risks, including environmental matters under U.S. federal and Arizona rules and regulations; impact

  • f environmental remediation requirements and the terms of

existing and potential consent decrees on the Company’s planned exploration on the Kay Mine Project and Sugarloaf Peak project; certainty of mineral title; community relations; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing; fluctuations in mineral prices; the Company’s dependence on two mineral projects; the nature of mineral exploration and mining and the uncertain commercial viability of certain mineral deposits; the Company’s lack of operating revenues; governmental regulations and the ability to obtain necessary licenses and permits; risks related to mineral properties being subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers or claims and other defects in title; impacts to patented and unpatented land by designation under U.S. Federal Statute or other laws, currency fluctuations; changes in environmental laws and regulations and changes in the application of standards pursuant to existing laws and regulations which may increase costs of doing business and restrict operations; risks related to dependence on key personnel; and estimates used in financial statements proving to be incorrect. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could affect the Company and may cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in Forward-Looking Information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or

  • intended. There can be no assurance that Forward-Looking

Information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on Forward-Looking Information. Except as required by law, the Company does not assume any obligation to release publicly any revisions to Forward-Looking Information contained in this presentation to reflect events

  • r

circumstances after the date hereof

  • r

to reflect the

  • ccurrence of unanticipated events.

The Qualified Person who reviewed and approved the technical disclosure in this presentation is David Smith, CPG.

Strong Community Support for Kay Mine Project Development

“Arizona Metals Corp. is the kind of company and operation we want to see in rural Arizona. When you combine this thoughtful approach to doing things the right way with the potential this project has to ultimately create hundreds of jobs and dynamic economic activity, as the State Senator for this area, I am very excited to have this company and project in my district.” Senator Karen Fann “As a state representative of the legislative district in which you are

  • perating, I care very much about the potential for job creation and

economic activity that your project represents. But I also care about the quality of life of the citizens that I represent, so I appreciate all you are doing to work with the people that live in the area.” State Representative Noel Campbell “As the co-chair of the Arizona Legislature’s Mining Caucus, as well as a state representative of a northern Arizona rural district just up the road from your project, I am delighted to see your project come to our state and thrilled at what might develop in the Black Canyon City area and beyond… I wholly appreciate and endorse your efforts and will do whatever I can to support the ultimate success of the operation and all the benefits it will bring to rural Arizona. I also appreciate the ethical and community sensitive approach your company brings to the project. And I have appreciated the way you have brought me and other public

  • fficials into the loop.” Arizona House Representative, Bob Thorpe

  • Two 100% owned projects in mining-friendly Arizona
  • Excellent infrastructure at both projects-road, power and water access
  • Kay Mine is a high-grade VMS target with historic estimate of 5.8Mt at

6.4% CuEq*

  • Sugarloaf is a near-surface, open-pit target with a 1.5Moz gold historic

resource estimate*

  • Phase 1 core drill program of 6,000m at Kay Mine approx. 75% complete
  • Drilling underway at Sugarloaf Project will test metallurgy and potential for

feeder zones at depth. Summary
