ARIZONA SILVER EXPLORATION INC.
COMMENCES EXPLORATION DRILLING AT
RAMSEY SILVER PROJECT, LA PAZ COUNTY, ARIZONA
Vancouver, BC, May 8, 2017 – Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. (the "Company") (TSX-V: AZS) is pleased
to announce that it has commenced drilling at the Ramsey Silver Project, La Paz County, Arizona.
H1 2017 Exploration Program
The Company has commenced drilling at the Ramsey Silver Project, having permitted and contracted for
2,000 meters of reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling in a total ten holes for the upcoming drilling program.
Eight holes in two fans of four holes each located 150 metres apart are planned to test the large
coincident magnetic, VLF -EM, and IP anomaly that lies beneath alluvial cover on unpatented mining
claims immediately to the north of the old Ramsey Mine workings. The northern end of the Ramsey
Mine workings terminated in a fault zone, and the large coincident geophysical anomalies are
interpreted to be th e offset main body of the Ramsey Mine mineral system. In addition, two holes will
test the southern end of the old workings, where underground assay data and core drilling completed in
late 2016 indicated the silver mineral system continues down-dip and to the south of the old workings.
The drilling program is expected to take most of the month of May to complete, with assay results
expected in June. Drill samples will be picked up on site by ALS Minerals personnel under strict chain of
custody and transported to the ALS Minerals sample preparation facility in Tucson, Arizona, where they
will be dried, crushed, split and pulverized and from whence a representative sample split of pulps will
be sent to the ALS Minerals analytical facility in Vancouver, B.C. for 33 element ICP analyses.
Successful drilling results will be followed by any necessary permit amendments and continued drilling.
