Each Unit consists of one (1) common share ("Common Share") and one-half (0.5) of a common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share of the Company at an exercise price of $3.00 (subject to adjustment as per the Penalty Provision defined below) until April 22, 2022.

The Company has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify the Units for distribution in all provinces in Canada, except Québec (the "Qualifying Jurisdictions") and to obtain the Final Receipt therefor, on or prior to July 2, 2021. In the event the Qualification Date has not occurred on or before July 2, 2021, the exercise price of each Warrant shall be reduced to $2.47 per Common Share (the "Penalty Provision").

In connection with the Offering, the Underwriters received: (i) a cash commission of 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, excluding gross proceeds from the issuance of Units on a president's list agreed upon by the Company and the Underwriters (the "President's List"), for which a commission of 3.0% of such gross proceeds was paid by the Company to the Underwriters; and (ii) 525,442 non-transferable compensation warrants (the "Compensation Warrants"), being equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of Units sold under the Offering, excluding those Units sold to subscribers on the President's List, for which the Underwriters were issued Compensation Warrants equaling 3.0% of the aggregate number of Units sold to participants on the President's List. Each Compensation Warrant is exercisable into one Unit of the Company at a price of $2.10 per Unit until April 22, 2022.

Proceeds from the Offering will be used primarily to fund the 75,000 metre Phase 2 exploration drill program at the Company's Kay Mine Project and general working capital purposes. The Offering is subject to final approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.

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.

The Company also owns 100% of the Sugarloaf Peak Property, in La Paz County, which is located on 4,400 acres of BLM claims. 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.
