Arizona GOLD & Silver Drilling Identifies Second High Grade Zone with 11 Gpt GOLD Intercepted at the Philadelphia Project, Arizona
NEWS RELEASE
ARIZONA GOLD & SILVER DRILLING IDENTIFIES SECOND HIGH GRADE ZONE
WITH 11 GPT GOLD INTERCEPTED AT THE PHILADELPHIA PROJECT, ARIZONA
Vancouver, British Columbia, July 09, 2025 – Arizona Gold & Silver Inc. (TSXV: AZS)
(OTCQB: AZASF) is pleased to announce a vein intercept of 22.47 metres (“m”) grading 3.05
grams per tonne (“gpt”) gold, including 11.5 gpt gold across 1.59 m and 6.41 gpt gold across 3.69
m from drill hole PC25-154 at the Perry Zone at the Philadelphia Project. The high grades coincide
with zones of yellow quartz within an impressive epithermal quartz and bladed calcite-bearing vein
system. Results continue to indicate that the mineralization in the system is getting stronger with
depth. Yellow quartz is associated with high gold grades throughout the district.
Perry Vein Core Hole PC25-154
The Perry Vein is a vein located east of and across a drainage from the Rising Fawn zone that has
been the focus of drilling previously. The Perry Vein is a distinct mineralized zone within the
overall gold-mineral system on the property. It is separated from the Rising Fawn zone by 30-60
metres.
Hole PC25-154 continues our earlier success in PC25-136 in demonstrating that the Perry Vein
increases in thickness and grade with depth (new release dated April 7, 2025). Drill hole PC25-154
was specifically designed to test below drill hole PC25-136 to determine the continuity of
mineralization down dip. Visually our geologist reported more yellow quartz than up dip on that
drill section.
Hole PC25-154 assays are as follows:
From (ft) To(ft) Thick. (ft) From(m) To(m) Thick.(m) Au (gpt) Ag (gpt)
752.9 826.6 73.7 229.4 252.0 22.47 3.05 5.14
including
756.8 762.0 5.2 230.6 232.3 1.59 11.5 6.2
and
814.5 826.6 12.1 248.3 252.0 3.69 6.41 10.0
True widths are approximately 65% of drilling thicknesses.
Vein textures demonstrate classic epithermal features, including colloform and ginguro banding and
cockscomb textures. Yellow quartz is abundant, similar to high-grade zones in the nearby Oatman
gold mines. Importantly, this intercept looks to be shallow in the vein system based on the
abundance of bladed calcite.
Mr. Greg Hahn, VP Exploration commented, “Drill hole PC25-154 is exciting. It demonstrates
increasing concentrations of gold and favourable vein textures with depth. Almost the entire width
of the vein carries +3 gpt gold. Yellow quartz is more abundant than what was present in holes up-
dip. In addition, we are now seeing two zones of high grade rather than just one, another
indication that the system is getting stronger with depth. This provides encouragement for core
hole PC25-155 currently in progress. That hole is approaching the projection of the top of the vein
60 metres (200 feet) down-dip from PC25-154. Currently we are within 15 metres (50 feet) of the
top of the target and seeing leakage into the hanging wall volcanics. Leakage is in the form of
bladed calcite veins with replacement by yellow quartz. Normally yellow quartz does not appear so
far above the vein.”
Exploration Going Forward
Drilling on the Philadelphia Project continues to test down dip of the Perry Vein mineralized
intercepts reported in this release. Drilling on the adjacent Rising Fawn Zone has been completed for
the present until assays on the drilled holes are received from the analytical laboratory. Assays on
hole PC25-154 were rushed, which displaced work and progress on the previously submitted holes.
QA/QC Program
All HQ-sized core samples were shipped to the Skyline Labs facility in Tucson, Arizona, where the
samples are inventoried, sawed in half, with half of the core sampled and half preserved for future
reference, sampled, crushed and pulverized. All core was sampled in 1-2 metre intervals based
upon mineralogy and textures observed by the core logging geologist. Gold is determined by fire
assay with an AA finish and silver is determined by ICP-MS methods within a multi-element suite.
Over-limits on gold (+5 gpt Au) are determined by fire assay with a gravimetric finish.
The Company maintains its own program of inserting Standard Reference material in the form of
standards and blanks to the sampling stream, prior to being shipped to Skyline’s laboratory facility in
Tucson, Arizona, in addition to the independent QA/QC protocols of Skyline Labs.
