NEWS RELEASE

ARIZONA SILVER SAMPLING DOUBLES TARGET ZONE WIDTH AT SYCAMORE CANYON

GOLD-SILVER PROJECT

Vancouver, British Columbia / May 9, 2018 – Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. (the "Company" or “Arizona

Silver”) (TSX -V: AZS) (OTCQB: AZASF) is pleased to announce the results of its rock chip sampling on the

Sycamore Canyon gold-silver epithermal property located in Graham County, Arizona.

Sampling in and surrounding the target silicified breccias has expanded the gold -silver target at Sycamore

Canyon, to twice its previous width.

Highlights include:

 Values up to 15.45 gpt (0.45 opt) Au , and 396 gpt (11.55 opt) Ag , which was collected from a 1 -metre wide

channel in a prospect pit, from a total of 42 samples collected from within the silicified breccias.

 An average value of 0.893 gpt (0.025 opt) Au, and 82 gpt (2.34 opt) Ag, from these 42 samples.

 Highest gold and si lver values occur at southern end of the outcrop area, where shallow alluvium covers the

extension as it dips beneath cover . Previously release d geophysical results suggest the mineralized breccia

target continues for at least 200 metres south of the high-grade sample in the last outcrop.

“We are very pleased with current results showing Sycamore Canyon is expanding. The Company is pursuing permits

for access roads and drill pad locations, and is currently conducting additional sampling on the property. We look

forward to very busy times ahead“ stated Mike Stark, Chairman.

A total of 73 samples that pre -date Arizona Silver define the gold and silver -bearing breccias with average values of

0.926 gpt (0.027 opt) Au, and 84.34 gpt (2.46 opt) Ag, with values up to 31 gpt (0.90 opt) Au, and 458 gpt (13.36 opt)

Ag. We now have 115 samples from within the silicified breccia zones with approximately the same average gold and

silver content as the original 31 samples reported in the March 28, 2018 press release. (March 28, 2018 press release

southeastern-arizona/)

The outline of the gold and silver anomalous samples at the south breccia zone has expanded in places to twice the

width, or +100 met res in places. Arizona Silver completed channel and rock sampling both within the silicified breccia

target area and in silicified granite outside of the silicified breccias as defined by outcrop and previous channel and rock

chip sampling. Samples are mo stly from channels 0.5 -5 metres in length, but some are grab samples to evaluate

specific rock or alteration types. Grab samples are not representative of the mineralization hosted on the property. The

Company has received results from 98 samples collected across the property. Roughly half of the samples were from

within and immediately peripheral to the silicified breccias, and the other half of the samples were from elsewhere on

the property. A map s howing all sample locations and relative strengths of gold and silver values in the immediate

vicinity of the south breccia target has been posted to the website at www.arizonasilverexploration.com.

QA/QC and Analytical Procedures

All rock samples were transported under strict chain of custody to the ALS Minerals sample preparation facility in

Tucson, Arizona. Each sample was 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 33-element package including

silver, lead, zinc , and copper, and for atomic absorption gold analyses . Samples over 100 ppm silver and over 10,000

ppm lead, zinc, or copper are re-analyzed using ICP for higher concentration levels. Samples over 10 ppm Au are re -

assayed using 1-assay ton fire assay methods.
