[{"type":"text","content":"Drill Mobilized to Philadelphia High-Grade Gold-Silver Vein Target in Mohave County, Arizona(via TheNewswire)\n\n \nVancouver, British Columbia / TheNewswire / April 24, 2019 - Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. (the \"Company\" or \"Arizona Silver\") (TSX-V: AZS) (OTCQB: AZASF) is pleased to announce that an exploration drill rig has been mobilized to begin an initial six-hole exploration drilling program on our 100% controlled Philadelphia Project. Drilling is scheduled to commence on April 24, 2019, and is expected to last approximately one week. Drill samples will be picked up on site by ALS Minerals personnel and delivered to ALS Minerals sample preparation facility in Tucson, Arizona for sample preparation. Pulps will be sent by the ALS Minerals prep facility to the ALS Minerals analytical laboratory in Vancouver under strict chain of custody for ICP multi-element analyses, including silver, and AA analyses and fire assay for gold.\n\n\n \nThe Philadelphia Project is the first of our two gold and silver projects to be drilled. The Sycamore Canyon Gold-Silver Property in Graham County, Arizona, is now in the final permitting process. We look forward to drilling our first holes on this completely virgin property.\n\n\n \nAbout the Philadelphia Project\n\n\n \nThe Philadelphia Project is a high-grade gold and silver vein target located in Mohave County, northwestern Arizona. The permitted plan is for the drilling of six exploration holes in a fence pattern, following the gold-silver mineralization identified in the Philadelphia No. 1 (PH-1) shaft. The fence of holes will test the easterly dipping mineralized structure along a dip length of over 500 feet (+150 metres) from where old descriptions of underground sampling done over 100 years ago revealed good gold grades and thicknesses present. See updated website for maps of these locations. \n\n \n \nhttp://arizonasilverexploration.com/philadelphia-property/\n\n \n \nSurface geologic mapping and aerial photo analysis indicated that the old production stopes centered on the Philadelphia No. 2 (PH-2) shaft, which is where the majority of the historic production was derived, may have been terminated by a cross-fault that separates the PH-1 shaft from the PH-2 shaft. The 6-hole fence of exploration drill holes will test this interpretation and the down-dip extension of the gold miner...
