The assay results\nare from previously un-assayed drill samples from the upper portions\nof two recently completed RC holes. Drilling is scheduled to resume as\nsoon as a rig can be delivered to the property.\n \n \n \n \n HIGHLIGHTS\n \n \n \n \n PRC21-85, the last hole drilled in\nthe summer drilling campaign, intersected a total of 115.9 metres at\n1.34 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold and 5.78 g/t silver from 60.9\nmetres to 176.8 metres depth downhole.\n \n \n \n \n PRC21-80 intersected a total of 103.7\nmetres at 1.57 g/t gold and 7.64 g/t silver from 51.8 metres to 155.5\nmetres depth (103.7 metres) downhole.\n \n \n \n \n On July 20, 2021 Arizona Silver reported drilling\nresults on the above drill holes. Those holes reported 59.5 metres and\n37 metre widths of mineralization from holes PRC21-85 and PRC21-80\nrespectively. Significantly, the latest results expand the width of\nthat lower grade mineralization to 115.9 metres and 103.7 metres\nrespectively. The samples represent intervals primarily from the\nhanging wall of the high-grade vein intercepts that were not submitted\ninitially as they were not expected to contain appreciable gold.\n \n \n \n \n \n Greg Hahn, VP-Exploration states “\n \n \n \n \n The assay results from altered volcanics in the\nhanging wall (upper portion) of the high-grade vein surprised us,\ncarrying substantial gold where quartz veins are mostly absent. The\ngold appears to be associated with strong hydrothermal alteration\ncomprising iron staining and clays, mostly green, not vein quartz that\ntypifies the remainder of the mineralized intercepts. This association\nis new for the Philadelphia property and suggests we are on to a\nlarger mineral system than just the high-grade vein that charact...
