NEWS RELEASE
ARIZONA SILVER COMMENCES DRILLING ON ITS 100% OWNED RAMSEY SILVER PROJECT,
LA PAS COUNTY, ARIZONA
Vancouver, British Columbia / February 27, 2018 – Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. (the "Company" or
“Arizona Silver”) (TSX-V: AZS) (OTCQB: AZASF) is pleased to announce it has commenced reverse circulation
(“RC”) drilling on its 100% owned Ramsey silver project located in La Paz County, Arizona.
Q1 2018 RC Drilling Program
Phase 1 of the 2018 RC exploration drilling program at the Rams ey silver project consists of six holes to be drilled to
the northeast of the previous series of eleven drill holes whic h have all intersected disseminated silver across tens of
metres in iron-rich Tertiary rhyolite and underlying Cretaceous metasediment s above a low angle detachment fault
floored by Precambrian granite.
The first hole, R1801was drilled vertically 50 metres north east of vertical core hole R1605-C, which intersected 47.7
metres grading 32.4 gpt Ag from 76.4 to 123.8 metres below 30 metres of post-mineral cemented alluvium. R1801
drilled through 53.35 metres of post-mineral cemented alluvi um before entering the iron-rich Tertiary rhyolite, and
drilled through the target interval before penetrating the detachment fault and underlying granite, terminating at 183
metres depth. The samples for R1801 have been delivered to the laboratory for sample prep and analyses.
Drill hole R1802 was drilled 33 metres south of R1801 and was de signed to test the target section encountered in the
previous eleven holes in the target area. It drilled thr ough 44.2 metres of post-mineral cemented alluvium before
encountering the iron-rich host Tertiary rhyolite and the target section, intersecting the detachment fault at 170.7 metres
and terminating in granite at 180 metres.
Drill hole R1803 was drilled 33 metres southeas t of R1802 and is in progress as of this press release, having drilled
through 35 metres of post-mineral cemented alluvium before entering the iron-rich rhyolite and target interval.
Drill holes R1804, R1805, and R1806 will also be drilled at 33 -metre intervals to obtain a sense of the continuity and
variability of mineralization along a fence of holes covering approximately 200 metres of length before planning further
drill holes to test beneath the extens ive post-mineral cemented alluvium wh ich conceals the host geology and any
surface expression of the mineral system.
A second phase of drill holes consisting of 10 RC holes have also been permitted on patented claims with the Arizona
Department of Water Resources , pending receipt of results from this ro und of drilling and fine -tuning of the actual
locations to be drilled based upon the results received from this initial round of drilling.
QA/QC and Analytical Procedures
All drill hole samples are stored on site prior to transport under strict chain of custody to the ALS Minerals sample
preparation facility in Tucson, Arizona. Samples are dried, and then each sample is crushed to 70% passing 2 mm, a 250
gram split is taken and pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns, subject to a four-acid digestion, and then analyzed by
ICP/MS for a 48-element package including silver, lead, zinc, and barium. Samples over 100 ppm silver and over
10,000 ppm lead or zinc are re-analyzed using ICP for higher concentration levels. Selected intervals with high silver
values are re-submitted for 1-assay ton fire assays for gold.

About Arizona Silver Exploration Inc.
Arizona Silver is a young exploration company focused on exploring the historically producing Ramsey Mine in
Western Arizona. Surface mapping, geophysical surveying, geochemical sampling, and one year of drilling have
identified a large area carrying strong surface geochemical values adjacent to the historic mine. The eleven holes drilled
to date have intersected significant silver mineralization acro ss tens of meters of thickness beneath tens of meters of
alluvial cover and altered rhyolite.

historical fact included in this release are forward-looking statements that involve various risks and uncertainties.
Forward-looking statements in this news release include stat ements in relation to the timing, cost and other aspects of
the 2018 program on the Ramsey property; the potential for development of the mineral resources; the potential
mineralization and geological merits of the Ramsey property; and other future plans, objectives or expectations of the
Company. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accura te and actual results and future events
could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from the Company's plan s or expectations include the risk that actual results of current and planned
exploration activities, including the results of the Company's 2018 drilling program(s) on the Ramsey property, will not
be consistent with the Company's expectations; the geology, grade and continuity of any mineral deposits and the risk of
unexpected variations in mineral resources, grade and/or recovery rates; fluctuating metals prices; possibility of
accidents, equipment breakdowns and delays during explorati on; exploration cost overruns or unanticipated costs and
expenses; uncertainties involved in the interpretation of drilli ng results and geological tests; availability of capital and
financing required to continue the Company's future exploration programs and preparation of geological reports and
studies; delays in the preparation of geological reports a nd studies; the metallurgical characteristics of mineralization
contained within the Ramsey property are yet to be fully determined; general economic, market or business conditions;
competition and loss of key employees; regulatory changes and restrictions including in relation to required permits for
exploration activities (including drilling permits) and environmental liability; timeliness of government or regulatory
approvals; and other risks detailed herein and from time to time in the filings made by the Company with securities
