Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. Reports First Assay Results from Ramsey Silver Project, Arizona

30.05.2017  |  Newsfile
Vancouver, May 30, 2017 - Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AZS) (the "Company") announces the first drill results of the 2017 exploration drilling campaign at the Ramsey Silver Project, La Paz County, Arizona.

RC Drill Hole R1703

The Company has received the first assay results from drill hole R1703, drilled from 450 metres north of the Ramsey Mine workings, on a 270 degree azimuth and -65 degree inclination. The hole tested the western portion of a large magnetic and induced polarization anomaly. The hole intersected strong magnetite and hematite bearing zones with strong silicification across the detachment fault separating Tertiary volcanics from older metasediments, but only weak silver mineralization in the interval 790 feet (232 metres) to the end of the hole at 905 feet 290 metres), containing between 0.5-3 gpt Ag throughout the interval. The rest of the hole contained no silver.

A black iron- and silica-impregnated sandstone intersected between 560-665 feet (171-203 metres) contained anomalous iron, copper, nickel, zinc, and vanadium. This interval bears strong similarities to the mineralized zone at the Copperstone gold deposit located about 25 miles (35 kilometres) to the northwest of the Ramsey Mine. This iron-rich interval and the lower silver-bearing interval will be analysed for gold.

RC Drill Hole R1702

Drill hole R1702 was drilled on an azimuth of 90 degrees and -65 degree inclination, and targeted to test a strong induced polarization anomaly within the large magnetic anomaly. The hole intersected massive silica with disseminated sulphides and oxides in the interval 350-500 feet (107-152 metres). Results indicate there is no silver in this interval. Anomalous titanium (2-3 times background) suggests the unidentified fine-grained silver-black metallic mineral is ilmenite disseminated in with the magnetite and pyrrhotite. The hole was lost at 680 feet (207 metres) when the hammer broke and dropped to the bottom of the hole. As a result the hole did not go deep enough to test the detachment fault target which is the location of the Ramsey Mine silver mineralization. The silicified interval will be assayed for gold.

Samples from drill holes R1701, R1704, and R1705 are in the lab and being processed. Remaining drilling for this program will continue on patented ground immediately south of the silver intercepts reported previously from the 2016 drilling.

All drill samples were picked up on site by ALS Minerals personnel and transported to their preparation facility in Tucson, Arizona under strict chain of custody for drying, crushing, splitting and pulverizing. Representative pulp splits were shipped from there to the ALS analytical facility in Vancouver, BC for 33 element ICP analyses.
