(TSXV:AZT)(OTCQB:AZZTF) announces it has received the assay results for drill holes TR20-06 to 09 at the north end of the Contention open pit as part of the ongoing Phase 1 reverse circulation (RC) program at the Tombstone project in southeastern Arizona.Highlights include drill hole TR20-09 which returned 6.18 grams per tonne (gpt) gold and 77.2 gpt silver (7.15 gpt gold equivalent (AuEq) using an 80:1 silver:gold ratio) over 15.14 meters (m) within 30.48m of 3.21 gpt gold and 45.6 gpt silver, starting from 32.00 meters depth. Reported lengths are apparent widths, not true widths, which range from 30% to 55% of apparent widths.The four-hole North spoke pattern was drilled approximately 300 meters north of the four-hole Central spoke pattern (assay results previously released on September 29, 2020) along the Contention open pit. The North spoke pattern results are highlighted by hole TR20-09 which returned the highest grade drill intersection to date on the Tombstone project.View Tombstone 2020 RC Drill Program Plan Map and Drill Sections here:Link to section view hole TR20-06 and hole TR20-09Link to section view hole TR20-07 and hole TR20-09Link to section view hole TR20-08 and hole TR20-09\"Aztec's first ever drill program at the Tombstone project continues to deliver encouraging results. This second batch of assays includes significant intersections of both shallow, bulk tonnage, open pit-type gold and silver mineralization as well as deeper, high grade, underground-type mineralization at the north end of the Contention Open Pit\", stated CEO Simon Dyakowski.All four holes in the North Spoke Pattern intersected old mine workings, likely dating back to the late 1800's, indicating that the highest-grade bonanza mineralization in the area drilled was previousl...
