VP-Exploration comments,\n \n \n “We are excited to be able to contract a\ncore rig at this time of year to test this significant target so soon\nafter its discovery.  If this geophysical anomaly is demonstrated\n to be part of the Philadelphia gold system it could considerably\nchange both the size and grade parameters of the project.”\n \n \n \n \n SAMT is a geophysical investigation method for\nobtaining information about subsurface resistivity. Resistivity values\ncalculated from the CSAMT data relate to geology. CSAMT is often used\nby mining companies for reconnaissance of larger geographic areas to\ndetermine depth to bedrock and to locate faults and resistive\nanomalies potentially related to ore deposits.\n \n \n \n \n Arizona Silver contracted Zonge Geophysics to perform a\nCSAMT survey in late January (see press release dated February 7,\n2023).  That survey outlined a distinct resistivity low beneath Red\nHill (see Figure below).  The anomaly is interpreted to be a clay cap\nto gold-silver mineralization which underlies the cap. In addition,\nthe western end of the anomaly is marked by a potential “feeder\nzone”, the structural conduit that channeled the hydrothermal fluids\n(including gold).  Such structures are known to host high grade\nmineralization in epithermal systems world-wide.\n \n \n \n \n The Company has permits in hand to drill two core holes\ntotaling 700-750 metres.  A steeper hole will test both the\ninterpreted “feeder” zone to the large flat-lying CSAMT anomaly\nand the down-dip projection of the high g...
