Arizona Gold & Silver Announces High Gold Grades in Core Drill Hole PC25-136 at the Philadelphia Project, Arizona
Arizona Gold & Silver Inc. (OTCQB: AZASF) has reported significant gold grades from drill hole PC25-136 at its Philadelphia Project in northwestern Arizona. The highlight includes 4.91 metres at 9.20 gpt gold, coinciding with epithermal quartz and calcite-bearing vein breccia in rhyolitic volcanic rocks.
Key drilling results show multiple mineralized intervals, with the best intersection containing:
- 4.9m @ 9.2 gpt Au and 9.2 gpt Ag (171.2m - 176.1m)
- 9.1m @ 6.4 gpt Au and 7.9 gpt Ag (168.1m - 177.3m)
- 25.9m @ 2.6 gpt Au and 4.2 gpt Ag (157.0m - 182.9m)
The drill hole is part of a six-hole program at the Rising Fawn segment, designed to test mineralization down dip and along strike. Vein textures show classic epithermal features, with yellow and green quartz similar to nearby Oatman gold mines. True widths are approximately 50% of drilling thicknesses.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 8, 2025) - Arizona Gold & Silver Inc. (TSXV: AZS) (OTCQB: AZASF) is pleased to announce high gold grades, including 4.91 metres at 9.20 gpt gold from drill hole PC25-136 at the Philadelphia Project in northwestern Arizona. The high grades coincide with a zone of impressive epithermal quartz and calcite-bearing vein breccia in rhyolitic volcanic rocks. The high-grade interval is surrounded by lower grade stockwork.
Rising Fawn Core Hole PC25-136
Rising Fawn is a segment of the main trend that lacked the drilling necessary to ultimately provide a resource estimate. PC25-136 is the first of six drill holes recently completed testing down dip and/or along strike of well mineralized intercepts reported earlier (see News Release dated March 19, 2025). PC25-136 was designed as a precursor to stepping further back onto the Company's BLM pad#2.
Hole PC24-136 assays are as follows:
| From (ft) | To(ft) | Thick.(ft) | From(m) | To(m) | Thick.(m) | Au (gpt) | Ag (gpt) |
| 561.5 | 577.5 | 16 | 171.2 | 176.1 | 4.9 | 9.2 | 9.2 |
| within | |||||||
| 551.5 | 581.5 | 30 | 168.1 | 177.3 | 9.1 | 6.4 | 7.9 |
| within | |||||||
| 515.0 | 600.0 | 85 | 157.0 | 182.9 | 25.9 | 2.6 | 4.2 |
| within | |||||||
| 462.5 | 600.0 | 137.5 | 141.0 | 182.9 | 41.9 | 1.6 | 3.3 |
True widths are approximately
Vein textures demonstrate classic epithermal features, including colloform and ginguro banding and cockscomb textures. Yellow and green quartz are abundant, similar to high-grade zones in the nearby Oatman gold mines. This intercept looks to be shallow in the vein system that bodes well for continued success as we drill deeper.
Mr. Greg Hahn, VP Exploration commented, "Drill hole PC25-136 is exciting in that it demonstrates the continuity of high-grade veining and an attendant stockwork system to the east of previously drilled mineralization. In long section it can be seen that the high-grade intercepts demonstrate a modest plunge to the north that remain wide open in both directions. The opportunity is open for further vein intercepts along strike and down plunge. Grades improve down dip which encourages continuing to pursue the target at depth. Drilling is continuing."
Exploration Going Forward
Current drilling on the Philadelphia Project continues to test down dip of the Rising Fawn mineralized intercepts reported previously. Current drilling is on hole PC25-149. Holes PC-137, 138, 139 and 148 have all hit the target and are in the laboratory for assay.

QA/QC Program
All core samples were shipped to the Skyline Labs facility in Tucson, Arizona, where the samples are inventoried, sawed, sampled, crushed and pulverized. Gold is determined by fire assay with an AA finish and silver is determined by ICP-MS methods within a multi-element suite. Over-limits on gold (+5 gpt Au) are determined by fire assay with a gravimetric finish.
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 Skyline's laboratory facility in Tucson, Arizona, in addition to the independent QA/QC protocols of Skyline Labs.
