 Vancouver, British Columbia, January 13, 2025 – TheNewswire - Arizona Gold & Silver Inc.  (TSXV: AZS)  ( OTCQB:AZASF ) is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Lex Lambeck as Senior Vice President of Exploration. He will replace Mr. Greg Hahn who will become Vice Chair.  Dr. Lambeck brings extensive experience in mineral exploration and project development. He has a strong track record of technical leadership and exploration success across multiple mining jurisdictions.  His depth of expertise and his strategic approach to exploration will be integral to the company's growth as we continue to advance our projects.

Most recently, Dr. Lambeck served as Vice President of Exploration at MAG Silver Corp., which was recently purchased by Pan American Silver for $2.1 billion.  In that role he contributed to district-scale exploration programs and served as Chief Geologist for the Deer Trail Project in Utah. He is also the founder and CEO of LamSil Geological Services LLC.

Mr. Mike Stark, President and CEO comments “We are delighted to welcome Lex to the company.  He brings both leadership and exploration to the company.  His experience in epithermal vein deposits and managing large scale projects will be a benefit as we aggressively advance the Philadelphia project. He will also tackle exploration of the large scale gold-antimony system at the Silverton project.”

Dr. Lambeck comments , “I am excited to join the company and contribute to Mike Stark’s team.  A significant motivation for my taking on this role is the quality of the Philadelphia property.  I see it as a real winner for both the company and my career.  It is a compelling project with the scale of upside required for the industry and investment community to really take notice.  Importantly it falls within the two best mining jurisdictions in the country.  The Silverton and Sycamore Canyon projects add additional upside that is yet to be recognized.  I intend to change that. " 

As Senior Vice President of Exploration, Lex will oversee the company’s exploration programs and work closely with our technical and management teams.  He will oversee the expansion of all our programs, not just the flagship Philadelphia project.  Additional personnel will be hired to drive disciplined, results-focused programs.
