[{"type":"text","content":"Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. Intersects 145 Feet (44.2 meters) of 62.5 gpt Silver at Ramsey Silver Project, La Paz County, Arizona(via TheNewswire)\n\n \nVancouver, British Columbia / TheNewswire / July 4, 2017 - Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. (the \"Company\") (TSX-V: AZS) is pleased to announce the second batch of drill results from the first phase of drilling in 2017 on the Ramsey Silver Project located in La Paz County, Arizona. \n\n\n \nDrill Results\n\n\n \nDrill hole R1706 intersected 145 feet (44.2 metres with approximate true width of 35 metres) containing 62.5 g/tonne (gpt) Ag between 260-405 feet (79.3-123.5 metres) down-hole depth. R1706 was drilled at -75 degrees bearing 60 degrees azimuth. This interval is contained within a wider zone of silver mineralization between 210-500 feet (64-152.4 metres: 88.4 metres with approximate true width of 70 metres) averaging 42.6 g/tonne (gpt) Ag. The majority of the intercept is within silicified rhyolite that is hanging-wall to the fault contact that hosts the high-grade vein that was the focus of historical mining on the property. A minority of the intercept is below that fault contact. A discrete vein was not recognized in the drill cuttings. Rather the zone of silver mineralization appears to be a wide zone of disseminated and stockwork mineralization throughout the intervals reported. The higher grade interval averages 0.18% Pb and 0.34% Zn, while the broader lower silver grade interval averages 0.15% Pb and 0.26% Zn. Both intervals contain appreciable barite with numerous sample intervals containing greater than 1% Ba.\n\n\n \nDrill hole R1707 was drilled from the same pad as R1706, but at -60 degrees along a 60 degrees azimuth. R1707 intersected 175 feet (53.4 metres with approximate true width of 42 metres) from 280-455 feet (85.4-138.7 metres) containing 37.3 gpt Ag within a wider zone of silver mineralization from 215-465 feet (65.5-141.8 metres) containing 31.1 gpt Ag. Lead and zinc contents were 0.13% Pb and 0.22% Zn for the higher grade silver interval and 0.11% Pb and 0.21% Zn for the broader lower grade silver interval. The hole contained significant barite as in R1706 with numerous sample intervals containing greater than 1% Ba. The intercept in R1707 is located approximately 30 metres east the intercept in R1706.\n\n\n \nThe two intercept are at approximate...
