Arizona Silver Exploration Inc. announced the start of 2023 exploration on the Philadelphia gold Project, Arizona. An earthworks contractor is on site building roads and drill pads for the upcoming reverse circulation (RC) drilling campaign. A drilling contract has been signed with Alford Drilling and regulatory permits are in hand for 20 RC drill holes on patented claims. Drilling is expected to start in February.

Roadwork and drill pad construction is expected to take two weeks. Drilling will comprise three to four fences of holes in the GAP to test the upper 150-200 metres of the gold target. The GAP is on the west end of the newly identified Red Hills target (CSAMT anomaly).

Drilling will then test north of the Shark Fin (SF Section).
