Reverse circulation drilling has commenced at Aztec’s Tombstone project, Arizona. The stepout drilling program under way is targeting shallow zones identified as prospective for high-grade oxide gold-silver mineralization associated with recently completed surface exploration results and 3-D geological modelling.
The following are highlights of recent drilling intersections supporting the conceptual exploration model for mineralized footprint growth:
- TR21-22: 2.44 grams per tonne gold and 66.56 g/t silver (3.39 g/t gold equivalent) over 65.5 metres (including 16.80 g/t Au and 374.36 g/t Ag over 7.6 m);
- TR21-03: 5.71 g/t Au and 40.54 g/t Ag (6.28 g/t AuEq) over 32.0 m;
- TC 23-01: 3,477 g/t Ag over 1.52 m from a zone of 733.9 g/t Ag over 7.6 m within 125 m of 1.63 g/t AuEq;
- TR21-10: 1.39 g/t Au and 56.40 g/t Ag (2.20 g/t AuEq) over 96.0 m;
- TR21-13: 1.8 g/t Au and 36.9 g/t Ag (2.33 g/t AuEq) over 70.1 m;
- TR21-17: 1.73 g/t Au and 56.20 g/t Ag (2.53 g/t AuEq) over 64.0 m;
- TR21-08: 2.09 g/t Au and 47.1 g/t Ag (2.76 g/t AuEq) over 39.6 m;
