DRILL MOBILIZED TO PHILADELPHIA HIGH-GRADE GOLD-SILVER VEIN TARGET IN

MOHAVE COUNTY, ARIZONA

Vancouver, British Columbia / April 24, 2019 – Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. (the "Company" or

“Arizona Silver”) (TSX-V: AZS) (OTCQB: AZASF) is pleased to announce that an exploration drill

rig has been mobilized to begin an initial six-hol e exploration drilling program on our 100% controlled

Philadelphia Project. Drilling is scheduled to commen ce on April 24, 2019, and is expected to last

approximately one week. Drill samples will be pick ed up on site by ALS Minerals personnel and

delivered to ALS Minerals sample preparation facility in Tucson, Arizona for sample preparation. Pulps

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.

The Philadelphia Project is the first of our two go ld and silver projects to be drilled. The Sycamore

Canyon Gold-Silver Property in Graham County, Arizona, is now in the final permitting process. We look

forward to drilling our first holes on this completely virgin property.

About the Philadelphia Project

The Philadelphia Project is a high-grade gold and silver vein target located in Mohave County,

northwestern Arizona. The permitted plan is for the drilling of six exploration holes in a fence pattern,

following the gold-silver mineralization identified in the Philadelphia No. 1 (PH-1) shaft. The fence of

holes will test the easterly dipping mineralized structure along a dip length of over 500 feet (+150 metres)

from where old descriptions of underground sampling done over 100 years ago revealed good gold grades

and thicknesses present. See updated website for maps of these locations.

Surface geologic mapping and aerial photo analysis indicated that the old production stopes centered on

the Philadelphia No. 2 (PH-2) shaft, which is where the majority of the historic production was derived,

may have been terminated by a cross-fault that separates the PH-1 shaft from the PH-2 shaft. The 6-hole

fence of exploration drill holes will test this interpretation and the down-dip extension of the gold

mineralization identified historically in the shallow underground workings off of the PH-1 shaft.

VLF-EM Surveying

A VLF-EM ground electromagnetic survey will co mmence April 22 and evaluate the geophysical

signature along the fence of drill holes planned for Ph ase 1 drilling, as well as strike extensions to the

north and south of the proposed fence of holes. VLF-EM should help identify the geophysical signature

of the mineralized structure and any offsets across the mineralized structure, and should assist in planning

additional drilling of the high-grade vein target. Much of the target is buried beneath a thin veneer of

recent alluvial cover that masks being able to map th e extent of the mineralized structure without the

assistance of geophysics.
