DRILLING COMPLETE ON PHILADELPHIA HIGH-GRADE GOLD-SILVER TARGET IN
MOHAVE COUNTY, ARIZONA
Vancouver, British Columbia / May 8, 2019 – Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. (the "Company" or
“Arizona Silver”) (TSX-V: AZS) (OTCQB: AZASF) is pleased to announce the completion of 6 holes
planned for the first round of drilling at the Co mpany’s 100% controlled Philadelphia Project. Drill
samples were picked up on site by ALS Minerals personnel and delivered to the ALS Minerals sample
preparation facility in Tucson, Arizona, for prepara tion. Pulps will be sent by the facility to the ALS
Minerals laboratory in Vancouver, British Columbia , for ICP multi-element analyses, including silver,
and AA analyses and fire assay for gold.
The Philadelphia Project is the first of two gold and silver projects to be drilled by the Company this year.
The Sycamore Canyon Gold-Silver Property in Graham County, Arizona, is in the final stages of
permitting and the Company looks fo rward to following up its 2018 spot coring program with the first
drill program ever to be conducted on this 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 allowed for drilling of six exploration holes in a fence pattern
following gold-silver mineralization identified in the Ph iladelphia No. 1 (PH-1) shaft. The fence of holes
tested the easterly dipping mineralized structure along a dip length of over 500 feet (150+ metres).
Descriptions of grades and thicknesses from underg round sampling completed more than 100 years ago
helped the Arizona Silver Exploration team to plan the program. Please see the Company’s website for
maps of these locations.

Surface geologic mapping and aerial photo analysis indicate that production stopes centered on the
Philadelphia No. 2 (PH-2) shaft, where the majority of the historic productio n was derived, may have
been terminated by a cross-fault th at separates the PH-1 shaft from the PH-2 shaft. The six-hole fence of
exploration drill holes tested this interpretation a nd the down-dip extension of the gold mineralization
identified historically in the shallow underground workings off of the PH-1 shaft.
Highlights of Philadelphia Property
Past production indicates gold grades ranged from 0.3-0.79 opt (10-27 gpt) Au
Historic silver grades in production shaft average 12.25 opt (420 gpt) Ag
Historic gold grades in production shaft average 0.341 opt (15.5 gpt) Au, for a combined gold
equivalent grade of 0.485 opt (16.63 gpt) Au(eq).
Readily accessible – initial drilling will be conducted less than 100 metres from paved road
access.

VLF-EM Surveying
A VLF-EM ground electromagnetic survey has been co mpleted and sent for evaluation. VLF-EM should
help identify the geophysical signature of the minera lized 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 c over that masks being able to map the extent of the
mineralized structure without the assistance of geophysics.
