In this corporate update, we welcome Simon Dyakowski, President and CEO of Aztec Minerals (TSX.V: AZT | OTCQB: AZZTF). Simon explains the significant implications of the latest drill results from the Tombstone Project in Arizona, highlighting the substantial expansion of the exploration program as well as the geological connection between key mineralized zones.
Key discussion points
- Expansion of the 2026 drilling program: Building on the strong results, the company has added 4,500 metres of RC drilling, increasing the total program to approximately 16,700 metres to further test the Westside and Contention zones.
- Connection of the mineralized zones: Recent drilling has successfully demonstrated continuous mineralization between the North Contention pit and the Westside zones, significantly increasing the project’s potential scale.
- Gold and silver zones: Simon explains the metal distribution on the property, noting that the central Contention zone is gold-rich, while the Westside and Southern extensions are increasingly dominated by silver.
- Deep porphyry and CRD targets: Beyond the shallow oxide targets, the team is evaluating the deeper potential, using downhole geophysics and deep core drilling to locate possible carbonate replacement deposits (CRD) and porphyry systems.
- Strong financial position: With a budget of US$1.2 million for the expanded program and around C$7.5 million in the treasury, Aztec is fully funded to execute its aggressive 2026 exploration strategy.
