2022 Highlights
Completed 2 phases of drilling including reverse circulation (RC) and oriented core (diamond drilling) totaling 7,837.5 meters in 37 drill holes on the
The 2022 drilling program intercepted strong mineralization at the
California Zone Drill Highlights Include: o 137m @ 1.49 gpT Au incl 51.7m @ 3.42 gpT Au in CAL22-005 o 165m @ 1.00 gpT Au incl 24.4m @ 4.25 gpT Au in CAL22-004 o 152m @ 0.87 gpT Au, incl 33.5m @ 2.05 gpT Au in CAL22-012
Our first drill campaign five years ago successfully and partially outlined an oxide gold cap to a significant new porphyry gold (copper) discovery at the
Progress at the Tombstone project in 2022 consisted of digitizing and 3D modelling the extensive old workings of the historic mines in preparation for further drilling to expand the near surface oxide gold silver mineralization below and around the Contention open pit
Aztec's RC drilling over 2020-2021 was successful in drill testing significant gold-silver mineralization which remains open in all directions
Higher grade intervals include 16.8 grams per tonne (gpt) gold and 374.4 gpt silver or 22.15 gpt gold equivalent (AuEq) using a 70:1 silver:gold ratio over 7.6 meters (m) in hole TR21-22 and 5.71 gpt gold plus 40.5 gpt silver or 6.28 gpt gold equivalent over 32.0 m in hole TR21-03
Thicker mineralized intervals include 65.5 m grading 2.44 gpt Au and 66.6 gpt Ag (3.39 gpt AuEq) in hole TR21-22 and 96.04 m assaying 1.39 gpt Au and 56.4 gpt Ag (2.20 gpt AuEq) in hole TR21-10
