Arizona Gold and Onyx Mining Co PINK:VGCP

With Gold trading over $1500 an Oz Arizona Gold and Onyx Mining Co PINK:VGCP is enthusiastic that its Mayer mining project in Arizona represents excellent potential and a compelling opportunity for profitable minerals production during the new global paradigm of the 20th Century in which mineral commodities are the foundation for economic growth. AGO has signed a contract with PMT Mining & Milling – Custom Mine Management & Operational Outsourcing outlining a comprehensive, 2-stage work program planned for the Company’s Mayer Project.

Project Location

The Company’s mineral claim is ideally situated in the heart of the country’s leading mining state of Arizona, in Yavapai County. The Property lies in close proximity to highways, power lines, and other infrastructure conducive to economic mining operations. Ample skilled mining and labor personnel live in the town of Mayer and in other nearby communities. The following two maps illustrate the property’s location in the heart of one of Arizona’s primary mining regions.

Future Projects and Acquisitions

With a view to achieving future expansion of operations and overall corporate growth, Arizona is actively exploring the potential acquisition, through its considerable network within the Minerals Exploration & Development industry, of additional high-potential mineral projects. The potential acquisition in the near term of additional lots, mineral rights and mining rights in Arizona, Nevada and Montana in the United States, as well as in neighboring Canada, are currently being pursued.

Against a strong background for long term global minerals demand and historically high prices, and in light of AGO’s established network within the industry, the Company intends to aggressively pursue opportunities for growth that it identifies as offering extraordinary potential. Any such potential acquisitions will be guided by strict adherence to the requirements of geological attractiveness, proximity to mining infrastructure and perceived development potential.
