[{"type":"text","content":"Vancouver, British Columbia / November 14, 2017 / JMN Wire / Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. (the “Company“) (TSX-V: AZS) is pleased to announce the results of drilling from the second phase of drilling in 2017 on the Ramsey Silver Project located in La Paz County, Arizona. Drill Results Further to our news release dated July 4, 2017 wherein it was announced that the Company drilled 145 feet of 62.5 gpt silver, the Company is pleased to announce that it has drilled an additional five exploration drill holes, for a current total of 12 drill holes, from atop the ridge to the southeast of the Ramsey Mine workings to test the potential for continuation of silver mineralization at depth beneath barren but altered rhyolitic volcanic rocks and post-mineral cover. All five holes intersected silver mineralization as reflected in the attached table, which includes two holes drilled earlier in the year.

Additional drill work is required to determine true width of intercepts. Surprisingly, the holes completed recently all hit a shallow silver zone that is not evident on the surface or in holes drilled previously from lower on the hill side. Hole R1712, which intersected 9.1 meters of +57 gpt Ag just 6.1 meters below the surface exemplifies this shallow silver zone, which remains wide open to additional drilling to the north, east, and south. Extensive and strong silica + iron alteration of the rhyolite across an area of ~700 metres x 250 metres that has never been drilled to the depths referenced in the intercepts above, and which appears to continue under post-mineral alluvial cover. The ultimate extent of this alteration area is unknown. This area represents a highly prospectiv...
