Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AZS ) ( OTC:AZASF ) is pleased to announce the results of surface channel sampling completed on an undrilled 300 meter segment of the Philadelphia-Perry vein at the Philadelphia project. Drilling of this segment known as the "Gap" is scheduled for November-December when drill road access is completed
Channel Samples up to 6.57 gpt gold across 2.44 meters and 5.9 gpt gold across 1.2 metres
Assays results are in on 95 channel samples taken in August along an undrilled portion of the Philadelphia-Perry vein. Channel samples across and along the vein have returned good gold values at several locations, including 3.1 gpt Au across 3.3 metres of vein and 5.9 gpt Au across 1.2 meters of vein. In addition, sampling returned 6.57 gpt Au across 2.44 metres of hanging wall volcanics between our recently completed drill sections. A summary table is provided below. A sample location map is posted to the web site https://arizonasilverexploration.com/philadelphia/
Greg Hahn, VP-Exploration states " These results are particularly significant as this area represents a 300-metre-long drilling Gap between two recent drill sections that returned excellent results for us. Based on vein textures we expect the "boiling zone" to begin some 100 metres below surface. Within that zone our emerging experience will be for us to intersect good grades both in the vein and the stockwork vein system adjacent to it. Clearly, these results provide strong encouragement for our upcoming road construction and core drilling program both within the Gap and along strike to the north. The opportunity to drill an untested 1500-metre-long extension of the vein system to the south remains open to us."

QA/QC Program
All assaying was conducted by ALS Global, an independent analytical laboratory. RC cuttings were delivered to the ALS delivery truck on site and trucked to the ALS sample preparation facility in Tucson, Arizona, where the samples are inventoried, dried, crushed and pulverized. Pulverized splits are sent to the ALS analytical facility in Vancouver, British Columbia for analyses. All material handling is done under a strict chain of custody protocol. Gold is determined by fire assay with an AA finish and silver is determined by ICP-MS methods within a 31-element suite.
The Company maintains its own program of inserting Standard Reference material in the form of standards and blanks to the sampling stream, prior to being shipped to ALS's preparation facility in Tucson, Arizona, in addition to the independent QA/QC protocols of ALS Global.
