PERMITTING PROGRESS ON THE PHILADELPHIA PROPERTY, A HIGH-GRADE GOLD-SILVER
VEIN TARGET IN MOHAVE COUNTY, ARIZONA
Vancouver, British Columbia/March 11, 2019 – Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. (the "Company" or “Arizona
Silver”) (TSX-V: AZS) (OTCQB: AZASF) is pleased to announce it has received approval from the US Bureau of
Land Management (“BLM”) of its Notice of Intent to start an initial six -hole exploration drillin g program on the
Philadelphia project. The BLM has determined the reclamation bond amount required to cover the proposed drilling
program and the Company has submitted a Cashier’s Check for the requisite amount to cover the bond. The Company
awaits acceptance of the Bond before it is cleared to commence drilling.
Separately the Company has submitted a Notice of Intent (“NOI”) and permit application fee with the Arizona
Department of Water Resource s to commence the exploration drilling. That NOI should be approved by the end of
March.
The Company is finalizing costs, equipment availability, and schedules with its preferred drilling contractor and
support personnel to be able to commence drilling once we obtain “NOI”
About the Philadelphia Project
The permitted plan is for the dr illing of six exploration holes in a fence 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 present, but not sufficient for development at a time when gold was valued
at $20/ounce. See old description below from a report by W.R. Layne and Bertr am Grant dated June 24, 1915.
“The PH-l shaft (inclined) 250 feet north of the PH-2 production shaft has been sunk to a depth of one hundred feet.
At the bottom of this shaft a drift has been run northwest in “ore” (quotations added). Also to the south 61 feet towards
PH-2 and a cross cut all in vein material, showing the vein to be 40 feet wide at this point. The vein at this point is
faulted by an intrusion, and the values decrease, but run up again after leaving the break, as shown by the assays on
open out, about 40 feet further north, which give over twenty ($20.00) dollars to the ton.”
And from another old report: No development has been done at either point and no cross-cut has been driven to the
foot wall at any point on the Philadelphia.”
The Philadelphia property was discovered in the late 1800s and operated intermittently, mostly between 1917 and
1935 as a 50-ton per day underground mine. Old underground mine maps show mining stopped about 150 feet (~46
metres) south of the PH-1 shaft and the fence of holes the Company intends to drill to test the continuity o f the high-
grade vein and enveloping lower grade material. No drilling has been done to our knowledge north of the old mining
area around the PH-2 shaft and the target remains open to the north on leased and 100% owned claims for a distance
of 4500 feet (1.37 kilometres).
