Philadelphia Gold Silver Property Drilling In Mohave County


VANCOUVER – Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. reported initial results from core drilling completed in March 2021 at the Philadelphia gold-silver project located in Mohave County, Arizona. A core drill rig has completed a total of 18 holes to date.  Results from four core holes completed in March remain outstanding and results from seven core holes completed in April remain outstanding. Three of those outstanding holes were drilled on the Perry patented claim. The core rig has demobilized to another client’s project.  A reverse circulation (RC) rig is scheduled to arrive mid to late May to continue drilling the gold-bearing quartz vein on the Perry Patented claim. The Patented Perry claim was tested in three recently completed core holes testing the down dip of a gold-bearing green quartz vein exposed in a shallow pit on the surface.  Gold-bearing quartz veins are exposed along much of the strike length (1,250 feet) of the vein on the Perry Patented claim.  A total of 5,000 -7,000 feet of RC drilling is planned in 15-20 holes to test approximately 500 feet of strike and dip along the vein. The Company is funded to complete additional drilling once results are known.

Vice President of Exploration, Greg Hahn, said, "We continue to intersect good gold and silver values in the Philadelphia vein system. We are working on unravelling the structure that has complicated the geology and believe we have identified a faulted extension to the west that should allow us to continue to test the vein system with relatively shallow drill holes.”

Results from the three holes drilled at the Perry claim are not in yet, but we did see green quartz and clays in all three holes where anticipated and we are anxiously awaiting the assay results.
