[{"type":"text","content":"Drilling Complete on Philadelphia High-Grade Gold-Silver Target in Mohave County, Arizona(via TheNewswire)\n\n \nVancouver, British Columbia / TheNewswire / May 8, 2019 - Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. (the \"Company\" or \"Arizona Silver\") (TSX-V: AZS) (OTCQB: AZASF) is pleased to announce the completion of 6 holes planned for the first round of drilling at the Company's 100% controlled Philadelphia Project. Drill samples were picked up on site by ALS Minerals personnel and delivered to the ALS Minerals sample preparation facility in Tucson, Arizona, for preparation. Pulps will be sent by the facility to the ALS Minerals laboratory in Vancouver, British Columbia, 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 two gold and silver projects to be drilled by the Company this year. The Sycamore Canyon Gold-Silver Property in Graham County, Arizona, is in the final stages of permitting and the Company looks forward to following up its 2018 spot coring program with the first drill program ever to be conducted on this 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 allowed for drilling of six exploration holes in a fence pattern following gold-silver mineralization identified in the Philadelphia No. 1 (PH-1) shaft. The fence of holes tested the easterly dipping mineralized structure along a dip length of over 500 feet (150+ metres). Descriptions of grades and thicknesses from underground sampling completed more than 100 years ago helped the Arizona Silver Exploration team to plan the program. Please see the Company's website for maps of these locations. \n\n \n \nhttp://arizonasilverexploration.com/philadelphia-property/\n\n \n \nSurface geologic mapping and aerial photo analysis indicate that production stopes centered on the Philadelphia No. 2 (PH-2) shaft, 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 six-hole fence of exploration drill holes tested this interpretation and the down-dip extension of the gold mineralization identified historically in the shallow underground workings off of t...
