[{"type":"text","content":"Arizona Silver Commences Drilling on Its 100% Owned Ramsey Silver Project, La Pas County, ArizonaVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 27, 2018) - Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AZS) (OTCQB: AZASF) (the \"Company\" or \"Arizona Silver\") is pleased to announce it has commenced reverse circulation (\"RC\") drilling on its 100% owned Ramsey silver project located in La Paz County, Arizona.Q1 2018 RC Drilling ProgramPhase 1 of the 2018 RC exploration drilling program at the Ramsey silver project consists of six holes to be drilled to the northeast of the previous series of eleven drill holes which have all intersected disseminated silver across tens of metres in iron-rich Tertiary rhyolite and underlying Cretaceous metasediments above a low angle detachment fault floored by Precambrian granite.The first hole, R1801was drilled vertically 50 metres northeast of vertical core hole R1605-C, which intersected 47.7 metres grading 32.4 gpt Ag from 76.4 to 123.8 metres below 30 metres of post-mineral cemented alluvium. R1801 drilled through 53.35 metres of post-mineral cemented alluvium before entering the iron-rich Tertiary rhyolite, and drilled through the target interval before penetrating the detachment fault and underlying granite, terminating at 183 metres depth. The samples for R1801 have been delivered to the laboratory for sample prep and analyses.Drill hole R1802 was drilled 33 metres south of R1801 and was designed to test the target section encountered in the previous eleven holes in the target area. It drilled through 44.2 metres of post-mineral cemented alluvium before encountering the iron-rich host Tertiary rhyolite and the target section, intersecting the detachment fault at 170.7 metres and terminating in granite at 180 metres.Drill hole R1803 was drilled 33 metres southeast of R1802 and is in progress as of this press release, having drilled through 35 metres of post-mineral cemented alluvium before entering the iron-rich rhyolite and target interval.Drill holes R1804, R1805, and R1806 will also be drilled at 33-metre intervals to obtain a sense of the continuity and variability of mineralization along a fence of holes covering approximately 200 metres of length before planning further drill holes to test beneath the extensive post-mineral cemented alluvium which conceals the host...
