Drilling Resumes At Philadelphia Gold And Silver Property

VANCOUVER – Arizona Silver Exploration Inc reported that drilling has resumed at the Philadelphia gold-silver project located in Mohave County, Arizona. A Reverse Circulation (RC) drill rig is on site and has completed 3 holes already on our recently acquired Perry Claim. Continued exploration drilling is focused on testing along strike of the 1,250 feet of visible vein outcropping at surface. In reference we are 4,000-5,000 lineal feet away from the Philadelphia mine area where we have intersected the high-grade vein to date.

A total of 15 holes are currently planned in this round of drilling. The Company will be testing the vein exposed on the surface both along strike and down dip in this round of drilling. There are 3 claims (4,500 feet) south of the Perry claim that remain untested. Sampling is underway to follow up on earlier sampling that indicated the presence of anomalous gold and silver in association with the continuation of the Arabian fault and associated veining.

Vice President Of Exploration, Greg Hahn, said, “We are excited to be the first to test the Perry vein with drilling. Surface samples indicate the presence of visible gold and historic samples contained good gold grades locally. The vein as exposed on the surface is consistently 20-30 feet wide and consists of green and white quartz with locally black calcite.
