Arizona Silver to spend most of May drilling at the Ramsey silver project

Arizona Silver Exploration Inc (CVE:AZS) has kicked off drilling at the Ramsey silver project in La Paz county.

The company said it has the permits and has contracted for 2,000 metres of reverse circulation (RC) drilling in a total 10 holes for the upcoming drilling program.

Eight holes in two fans of four holes each located 150 metres apart are planned to test the large coincident magnetic, very low frequency electromagnetic (VLF-EM) and induced polarization anomaly that lies beneath alluvial cover on unpatented mining claims immediately to the north of the old Ramsey mine workings.

The company said the northern end of the Ramsey mine workings terminated in a fault zone, and the large coincident geophysical anomalies are interpreted to be the offset main body of the Ramsey mine mineral system.

In addition, two holes will test the southern end of the old workings, where underground assay data and core drilling completed in late 2016 indicated the silver mineral system continues down-dip and to the south of the old workings.

The drilling program is expected to take most of May to complete, with assay results expected in June.
