Vancouver, British Columbia / June 04, 2018 – Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. (the “Company” or “Arizona Silver”) (TSX-V: AZS) (OTCQB: AZASF) announced today the results of its ongoing rock chip sampling on the Sycamore Canyon gold-silver epithermal property located in Graham County, Arizona.

Sampling surrounding the south silicified breccia has added to the width of the gold-silver target at Sycamore Canyon.

Highlights include:

Mike Stark, Chairman, said, “We are very pleased with these most recent results, which exceed our expectations. The results demonstrate Sycamore Canyon has even greater potential than previously thought. These surface results bode well for a targeted drill program, which we are actively planning now for the near term,”.

The Company has applied for a 10-year right of way to upgrade and maintain commercial access across State of Arizona lands to the Sycamore Canyon property and has submitted a Plan of Operations to the US Forest Service for an initial drilling program on the north breccia zone along existing road access.

The outline of the gold and silver anomalous samples at the south breccia zone has expanded in places to a width of over 100 metres, and is consistently greater than 50 metres wide. Maps of contoured gold and silver values and VLF-EM pseudo-sections have been posted to the website via these direct links:

QA/QC and Analytical Procedures

All rock samples were transported under strict chain of custody to the ALS Minerals sample preparation facility in Tucson, Arizona. Each sample was crushed to 70% passing 2 mm, a 250 gram split is taken and pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns, subject to a four-acid digestion, and then analyzed by ICP/MS for a 33-element package including silver, lead, zinc, and copper, and for atomic absorption gold analyses.  Samples over 100 ppm silver and over 10,000 ppm lead, zinc, or copper are re-analyzed using ICP for higher concentration levels.  Samples over 10 ppm Au are re-assayed using 1-assay ton fire assay methods.
