[{"type":"text","content":"Initial Drilling Intersects High-Grade Gold with Silver at the Philadelphia Vein Target in Mohave County, Arizona(via TheNewswire)\n \n \nHighlight: 3.1 metres grading 15.8 gpt Au and 90 gpt Ag from 7.6-10.7 metres deep\n\n\n \nVancouver, British Columbia / TheNewswire / May 15, 2019 - Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. (the \"Company\" or \"Arizona Silver\") (TSX-V: AZS) (OTCQB: AZASF) is very pleased to announce that the first 3 drill holes have intersected the high-grade gold-silver vein structure at the Philadelphia property, Mohave County, Arizona.\n\n\n \nPRC19-2\n\n\n \n\n\n- Drill hole PRC19-2 intersected 10 feet grading 0.46 opt Au and 2.62 opt Ag from 25-35 feet \n\n\n\n- Depth (3 metres grading 15.8 gpt Au and 90 gpt Ag). Grade continued down the hole for total intercepts of 20 feet grading 0.30 opt Au and 2.46 opt Ag (6.1 meters grading 10.4 gpt Au and 84.4 gpt Ag) from 25-45 feet, or\n\n\n\n- A much larger interval totaling 70 feet from 25-95 feet grading 0.11 opt Au and 1.55 opt Ag (21.3 metres grading 3.78 gpt Au and 53.3 gpt Ag).\n\n\n\n\n \nDrill hole PRC19-2 was drilled to intersect the high-grade vein target below the shallow underground workings off the Philadelphia #1 shaft, which was sunk in the early 1900s. Grade is contained within quartz veins within silicified rhyolite, which is typical of Oatman District style mineralization. The hole bottomed in barren footwall Precambrian granite which lies below the silicified rhyolite.\n\n\n \nPRC19-1\n\n\n \n\n\n- Drill hole PRC19-1 intersected 10 feet grading 0.21 opt Au and 1.45 opt Ag from 10-20 feet (3 metres grading 7.23 gpt Au and 49.6 gpt Ag).\n\n\n\n- Gold and silver continued for another 10 feet for a wider interval of 20 feet from 10-30 feet grading 0.12 opt Au and 1.36 opt Ag (6.1 metres grading 4.04 gpt Au and 46.8 gpt Ag).\n\n\n\n\n \nDrill hole PRC19-1 was drilled to test the shallow upper levels of the vein target. The hole was also bottomed in barren Precambrian granite.\n\n\n \nThe increase in grade and thickness from the intercepts in PRC19-1 to PRC19-2 suggests strengthening of the mineral system down dip. PRC19-2 is nominally 50 feet down dip from PRC19-1. Reported intercepts are approximately true widths.\n\n \n \nPRC19-3\n\n\n \nDrill hole PRC19-3 was designed to test down dip of PRC19-2.The target was cut out by a fault concealed beneath thin a...
