Corcel Exploration: Advancing a Historically Produced District-Level Copper-Gold Asset in Arizona

Corcel Exploration (CSE:CRCL,OTCQB:CRLEF) is a Vancouver-based explorer unlocking copper and gold opportunities in North America. Anchored by its flagship Yuma King project in Arizona, the company applies historical data sets, advanced geosciences and modern technology to discover and expand mineralized systems on the surface and in the ground.

Corcel’s approach focuses on disciplined, data-driven exploration. The company’s 2025 work program includes the first 2,000-meter diamond drill program, along with IP surveys and hyperspectral mapping to test priority copper-gold skarn and porphyry targets in the Yuma King Mine, Yuma King West and Three Musketeers zones. By validating and expanding historic mineralization, Corcel aims to define a near-term resource base while unlocking broader district-level potential.

The Yuma King copper-gold project occupies a 3,200-acre property in the historic Ellsworth mining district of west-central Arizona, approximately 90 miles northwest of Phoenix. The former Yuma mine is located on the site, where high-quality copper and gold ore was mined between 1940 and 1963.

Company Highlights

• Flagship Yuma King Project (Arizona): 3,200-acre county-level land parcel with 515 federal mining claims in the Ellsworth Historic Mining District.
• High-quality historical production: 8,600 tonnes averaging 2.3 percent copper, 0.3 oz silver per tonne and 0.03 oz gold per tonne from the past producing Yuma mine.
• Double mineralization system: Copper-gold skarn mineralization with potential for a buried copper-molybdenum-gold porphyry system.
• Strong recent results: Rock samples grading up to 17.15 grams gold per tonne and 11.6 percent copper confirm widespread surface mineralization.
• Advanced drill-ready targets: 1.6 km long skarn corridor open along strike and downsip; multiple untested anomalies of geophysics and soil sampling.
• Experienced Leadership: Led by a technically strong management team with deep experience in discovery, development and capital markets.
• Strategic US positioning: Located near infrastructure and in the same condition as one of only three U.S. copper smelters.
