Arizona Silver Exploration Inc (CVE:AZS) (OTCMKTS:AZASF) said that drilling has resumed at the company’s Philadelphia gold-silver project located in Mohave County, Arizona. 

The company said a reverse circulation (RC) drill rig is on-site and has completed three holes already on its recently acquired Perry Claim. A total of 15 holes are currently planned in this round of drilling, it added..

Arizona Silver said continued exploration drilling is focused on testing along strike of the 1,250 feet of visible vein outcropping at surface. In reference, the company said, it is 4,000-5,000 lineal feet away from the Philadelphia mine area where it has intersected high-grade vein to date.

The company added that it will be testing the vein exposed on the surface both along strike and down dip in this round of drilling. It noted that it has three claims (4,500 feet) south of the Perry claim that remain untested, with sampling underway to follow up on earlier sampling that indicated the presence of anomalous gold and silver in association with the continuation of the Arabian fault and associated veining.

Arizona Silver’s vice president-Exploration, Greg Hahn, commented: “We are excited to be the first to test the Perry vein with drilling. Surface samples indicate the presence of visible gold and historic samples contained good gold grades locally. The vein as exposed on the surface is consistently 20-30 feet wide and consists of green and white quartz with locally black calcite."

Arizona Silver is a young exploration company focused on exploring underexplored gold-silver properties in western Arizona and now Nevada. The company plans to continue to drill test the Ramsey Silver Mine property located a short distance east of Quartzsite, Arizona as time allows.

The company recently received a positive Record of Decision on its Notice of Intent to drill an initial eight exploration holes on its recently acquired Silverton gold-silver property with carlin-type targets. Drilling there will be scheduled as time and equipment allow.
