Aztec Minerals Corp (OTCQB: AZZTF) generates a steady flow of technical and corporate news as it advances its North American exploration portfolio. Company releases focus heavily on the Tombstone gold-silver & CRD project in southeastern Arizona and the Cervantes porphyry gold-copper project in Sonora, Mexico.
Recent Tombstone updates describe multi-phase reverse circulation and core drilling in and around the historic Contention open pit, the Southern Extension, Westside and Head Center areas. Aztec reports broad intervals of oxidized silver-gold mineralization from surface or shallow depths, expansion of the mineralized footprint to the west, east, north and south, and ongoing testing of deeper carbonate replacement deposit targets guided by NSAMT geophysical anomalies. Surface channel sampling and detailed mapping at Tombstone are also regular subjects of news, providing additional context on near-surface oxide mineralization.
At Cervantes, news items highlight step-out drilling at the California zone, where Aztec reports that every hole except one has intersected near-surface oxidized gold mineralization with minor copper values. Updates cover expansion of the California zone in multiple directions, interpretation of multi-element geochemistry consistent with a porphyry system, and metallurgical test work on oxide gold mineralization.
