[{"type":"text","content":"Update on 2020 Drilling at the Philadelphia High-Grade Gold-Silver Vein Property Mohave County, Arizona - Visible Gold in 5 out of 9 holes -(via TheNewswire)\n \n \nVancouver, British Columbia - TheNewswire - Feb. 18, 2020 - Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. (the \"Company\" or \"Arizona Silver\") (TSXV:AZS) (OTC:AZASF) is pleased to announce that it has completed the initial 9 holes of the Q1 2020 drilling program at the 100% owned Philadelphia high-grade gold-silver vein property.\n\n\n \nQ1 2020 Drilling Program\n\n\n \nThe Company completed an initial 9-hole RC drilling program to test the along-strike and down-dip extensions of the high-grade gold and silver vein target located in Mohave County, northwestern Arizona. High-grade in the Philadelphia vein was identified by core drilling at the property in October 2019 which intersected high grade in the last hole of the 2019 program, PC19-2T (Press Release dated November 13, 2019), and which is a continuation of the high-grade vein intercept in RC hole PRC19-2 completed in May (Press Release dated May 15, 2019). The high-grade zone is associated with strong silicification and clay alteration and magnetite-destruction peripheral to the vein. An airborne UAV magnetic survey identified a large magnetic low 150 meters north of the existing drill intercepts that was tested in an early November drilling program.\n\n\n \nInitial 2020 Drilling Program\n\n\n \nHarris Exploration Drilling completed 2160 feet (659 metres) of reverse circulation (\"RC\") drilling in nine holes on the project. Six of the holes intersected good vein intercepts of 15-60 feet (4.5-18.3) metres, all with demonstrated epithermal vein and \"boiling textures\". True widths of the intercepts are estimated to be roughly half the drill lengths given the -60 degree dip of the vein and the vertical nature of the drill holes. Five of these six holes contained visible gold in the RC cuttings within and outside of the vein intercepts. Two of the other holes hit the Arabian fault, which hosts the Philadelphia vein, but with no visible vein mineralization along it. One of the holes hit the footwall granite and was terminated at 100 feet. All of the holes were drilled through 20-65 feet (6-20 metres) of unconsolidated alluvial cover which conceals the bedrock geology in the location of the drill holes.\n\n\n \nAll five of the...
