[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. (the \"Company\") (TSX-V:AZS) announces results of the first quarter drilling program at its 100% owned Ramsey Silver Project located in La Paz County, Arizona. Q1 2018 Drilling ResultsArizona Silver Exploration Inc. completed seven reverse circulation (RC) exploration drill holes at its Ramsey Silver Project in February and March, 2018. All holes intersected intervals of mineralization within a package of altered rhyolite and quartz latite peripheral to higher grade mineralized intervals reported previously. Assay results are summarized in the table below. \"The seventh hole was drilled at an angle to the northwest to test the potential northward strike extension to the Ramsey Mine silver system, and also appears to have intersected the low-grade margin of the higher-grade silver system,\" stated Greg Hahn, President and CEO. These holes all appear to represent the true thickness of the mineral system at these locations.

This zone remains to be tested with drilling. The Creosote Vein had limited historic production of ~10 opt Ag. Sampling by Arizona Silver returned values of up to 877 gpt Ag in outcrops of what might be the extension to the Creosote Vein. A similar-sized area north of the Creosote Vein contains a strong Ag-Pb-Zn-Ba surface geochemical anomaly associated with strong argillic and silicic alteration and brecciated rhyolite (see April 18, 2017 news release Click Here). Drilling beyond the geochemical anomaly locations will penetrate alluvial cover, which is prominent to the east and north of the areas around the Creosote Vein. Ten additional holes have been permitted and are tentative...
