VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 27, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. (the “Company” or “Arizona Silver”) (TSX-V: AZS) (OTCQB: AZASF) is pleased to announce that a core drill rig is mobilizing to start an initial core drilling program on our 100% owned Philadelphia project. Philadelphia is a high-grade gold and silver vein target located in Mohave County, northwestern Arizona. The Philadelphia property is the first of two new gold projects for Arizona Silver Exploration. Drilling is expected to commence Sept 30th. We are stepping out 100 feet to the north from our previous drilling looking for continuation of the high-grade vein where we intersected 15.82 grams per tonne (gpt) gold (Au) and 90 grams per tonne (gpt) silver (Ag) over 3.1 metres thickness in hole PRC19-2, and 7.2 gpt Au and 50 gpt Ag across 3.1 metres in hole PRC19-1. Our interpretation is the high-grade zone extends to the north of these intercepts beneath a historic surface sample that is reported at 5 ft. containing 1.15 ounces per ton Au. Drill core will be delivered to ALS Minerals sample preparation facility in Tucson, Arizona for sawing and sample preparation. Then splits of samples will be sent by the ALS Minerals prep facility to the ALS Minerals analytical laboratory in Vancouver under strict chain of custody for ICP multi-element analyses, including silver, and AA analyses and fire assay for gold.
