Arizona Metals Corp Announces Update to Bought Deal Financing, including Exercise in Full of Underwriters' Option

TORONTO, April 21, 2021 - Arizona Metals Corp. (TSXV: AMC) (the "Company" or "Arizona Metals") is pleased to announce that the underwriters have exercised their option in full and intend to close the previously announced bought deal private placement offering (the "Offering") of 10,000,000 special warrants (the "Special Warrants") of the Company at a price of $2.10 per Special Warrant for aggregate gross proceeds of $21,000,000. The Offering is being conducted by a syndicate of underwriters co-led by Stifel GMP and Clarus Securities Inc. (the "Underwriters").

Each Special Warrant shall be issued under a special warrant indenture and shall entitle the holder thereof to receive, without payment of additional consideration, one (1) unit of the Company (each a "Unit"). Each Unit shall consist of one (1) common share of the Company and one-half (0.5) of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $3.00 for a period of 12 months following the closing date of the Offering (the "Closing Date"), subject to adjustment as described below.

The Special Warrants shall be deemed exercised on behalf of, and without any required action on the part of, the holders (and for no additional consideration) on the earlier of: (i) the second business day following the date on which a final receipt is obtained from the Ontario Securities Commission, as principal regulator on behalf of the securities regulatory authorities in each of the Qualifying Jurisdictions (as defined herein), for a (final) short form prospectus qualifying for distribution the Units underlying the Special Warrants (the "Qualification Date"); and (ii) 5:00 p.m. (time) on the date which is four months and a day following the Closing Date.

The Company and the Underwriters had previously agreed that in the event the Qualification Date does not occurred on or before the date that is ten (10) weeks following the Closing Date, each Special Warrant shall thereafter entitle the holder to receive, upon the exercise or deemed exercise of each Special Warrant, for no additional consideration, 1.1 Units. The parties have agreed to amend this term to instead provide that in the event the Qualification Date has not occurred on or before the date that is ten (10) weeks following the Closing Date, the exercise price of each Warrant shall be reduced to $2.47 per common share.

About Arizona Metals Corp

Arizona Metals Corp. owns 100% of the Kay Mine Property in Yavapai County, which is located on a combination of patented and BLM claims totaling 1,300 acres that are not subject to any royalties. An historic estimate by Exxon Minerals in 1982 reported a "proven and probable reserve of 6.4 million short tons at a grade of 2.2% copper, 2.8g/t gold, 3.03% zinc, and 55g/t silver". The historic estimate at the Kay Mine was reported by Exxon Minerals in 1982. The historic estimate has not been verified as a current mineral resource. None of the key assumptions, parameters, and methods used to prepare the historic estimate were reported, and no resource categories were used. Significant data compilation, re-drilling and data verification may be required by a Qualified Person before the historic estimate can be verified and upgraded to be a current mineral resource. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify it as a current mineral resource, and Arizona Metals is not treating the historic estimate as a current mineral resource.

The Kay Mine is a steeply dipping VMS deposit that has been defined from a depth of 150m to at least 900m. It is open for expansion on strike and at depth.

Sugarloaf is a heap-leach, open-pit target and has a historic estimate of "100 million tons containing 1.5 million ounces gold" at a grade of 0.5g/t (Dausinger, 1983, Westworld Resources).

The historic estimate at the Sugarloaf Peak Property was reported by Westworld Resources in 1983. The historic estimate has not been verified as a current mineral resource. None of the key assumptions, parameters, and methods used to prepare the historic estimate were reported, and no resource categories were used. Significant data compilation, re-drilling and data verification may be required by a Qualified Person before the historic estimate can be verified and upgraded to a current mineral resource. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify it as a current mineral resource, and Arizona Metals is not treating the historic estimate as a current mineral resource.
