REPORTS ON Q1 DRILLING RESULTS AT THE RAMSEY SILVER PROJECT
LA PAZ COUNTY, ARIZONA
Vancouver, BC, April 9, 2018 – Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. (the "Company") (TSX-V: AZS) announces
results of the first quarter drilling program at its 100% owned Ramsey Silver Project located in La Paz
County, Arizona.
Q1 2018 Drilling Results
Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. completed seven reverse circulation (RC) exploration drill holes at its
Ramsey Silver Project in February and March, 2018. All holes intersected intervals of mineralization
within a package of altered rhyolite and quartz latite peripheral to higher grade mineralized intervals
reported previously. Assay results are summarized in the table below. The seventh hole was drilled at
an angle to the northwest to test the potential northward strike extension to the Ramsey Mine silver
system, and also appears to have intersected the low-grade margin of the higher-grade silver system”,
stated Greg Hahn, President and CEO. These holes all appear to represent the true thickness of the
mineral system at these locations.
Subsequent targets
A zone southeast of the Ramsey Mine is characterized by surface samples with elevated Ag -Pb-Zn-Ba
geochemistry within which the Creosote Vein is located. This zone remains to be tested with drilling.
The Creosote Vein had limited histo ric production of ~10 opt Ag. Sampling by Arizon a Silver returned
values of up to 877 gpt Ag in outcrops of what might be the extension to the Creosote Vein . A similar -
sized area north of the Creosote Vein contains a strong Ag -Pb-Zn-Ba surface geochemical anomaly
associated with strong argillic and silicic alteration and brecciated rhyolite (see April 18, 2017 news

geochemical anomaly locations will penetrate alluvial cover, which is prominent to the east and north of
the areas around the Creosote Vein.
Ten additional holes have been permitted and are tentatively planned for Q2 2018 to test the areas
featuring the surface geochemical anomalies. Please visit the Company’s website for drill hole locations

QA/QC and Analytical Procedures
All drill cuttings were transported under strict chain of custody by ALS Minerals personnel to the ALS
Minerals laboratory in Tucson Arizona, where samples were dried and 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 48 -element package including silver, lead, and zinc. Samples over 100
ppm silver and over 10,000 ppm lead or zinc are re -analyzed using ICP for higher concentration levels.
Selected intervals with high silver values will be re-submitted for 1-assay ton fire assays for gold.
