VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 7, 2021 / Aztec Minerals Corp. (TSXV:AZT)(OTCQB:AZZTF) summarizes the results of its recently completed 2021, Phase 2, 23-hole, 2,716 metre (m) reverse circulation (RC) drill program on the Tombstone project which covers most of the historic Tombstone silver mining district in southeastern Arizona.
Every one of the 23 drill holes intersected shallow oxidized gold-silver mineralization over substantial widths, thirteen drill holes crossed old tunnels where presumably the highest-grade ores were previously mined, several drill holes encountered visible gold, and all drill holes bottomed in mineralization, indicating the main mineralized zones are still open to depth as well as laterally.
The drill holes were spaced approximately 50 m apart along fence patterns trending NNE, and dipping from near vertical to -45 degrees E. The 2021 drill holes are step outs from the 2020 RC drill holes reported previously in the north and central parts of the Contention open pit. Two of the drill holes (TR21-21, 22) were twins of historic USMX drill holes TR-57 and TR-67, which along with one 2020 twin drill hole (TR20-18) will be used to verify the USMX drill data for use in a future resource estimation.
