Arizona Gold & Silver Inc. announced 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.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), Thick.(ft), From(m), Thick.(m), Au (gpt), Ag (gpt), 561.5 577.5, 16, 171.2, 176.1, 4.9, 9.2, within, 551.5, 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, 182.0, 182.5, 141.0., 182.0, 41.9, 1.6, 3.3. True widths are approximately 50% of drilling thicknesses.
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 drill deeper.
With a commitment to sustainable practices and innovative exploration techniques, the company aims to drive value for stakeholders while prioritizing environmental stewardship. The asset is the Philadelphia gold-silver property where the Company is drilling off an epithermal gold-silver system ahead of an initial resource calculation.
