Aztec Minerals Expands Tombstone Drilling and Launches Geophysical Surveys

The latest announcement is out from Aztec Minerals ( (TSE:AZT) ).

Aztec Minerals has expanded its ongoing drill program at the Tombstone Project in Arizona by an additional 4,500 meters of reverse circulation drilling, bringing the total planned program to roughly 17,000 meters and adding a C$1.7 million budget focused on shallow oxide gold-silver targets across multiple zones. The company has also launched downhole electromagnetic surveys on select core holes to refine targets for potential massive sulfide mineralization beneath the oxide system, and granted stock options and restricted share units to directors, officers and consultants under its equity incentive plan.

The Tombstone work aims to extend known near-surface mineralization around the historic Contention pit while gathering data that may support future drilling into deeper sulfide horizons historically mined to 300 meters, potentially enhancing the project’s resource potential and long-term development prospects. At the same time, the new equity awards further align management and key personnel with shareholder interests as the company advances exploration in a district that historically produced tens of millions of ounces of silver and significant gold.
