(TSX-V:AZT)(OTCQB:AZZTF) reports assay results for an additional five holes, TR21-06 to 10, from its 2021, Phase 2, 20-hole, 2,900 meter reverse circulation (RC) drill program on the Tombstone project covering most of the historic Tombstone silver mining district in southeastern Arizona.The five holes were drilled on two fence patterns to infill between the two prior drill fans and to step out from the drill holes reported previously on July 7, 2021 in the north-central part of the Contention open pit. Every one of the five holes intersected near surface, oxidized gold-silver mineralization, and all five holes bottomed in mineralization.Drill HighlightsHole TR21-10 - 1.39 grams per tonne (gpt) gold and 56.40 gpt silver (2.20 gpt gold equivalent AuEq) over 96.04 meters (m),including 39.94 m grading 2.47 gpt Au and 28.9 gpt Ag (2.97 gpt AuEq), 19.82 m grading 0.96 gpt Au and 24.98 gpt Ag (1.31 gpt AuEq), and 10.67 m grading 0.837 gpt Au and 60.96 gpt Ag (1.71 gpt AuEq)Hole TR21-08 - 2.09 grams per tonne (gpt) gold and 47.1 gpt silver (2.76 gpt gold equivalent AuEq) over 39.64 meters (m),including 18.29 m grading 3.53 gpt gold and 58.4 gpt silver (4.37 gpt gold equivalent AuEq), which bottomed in mineralization grading 1.21 gpt AuEq when ground caving forced early termination of the holeHole TR21-06 - 0.22 gpt gold and 17.3 gpt silver (0.47 gpt AuEq) over 74.69 m,including 4.57 m grading 1.26 gpt Au and 18.6 gpt Ag (1.53 gpt AuEq)Hole TR21-07 - 0.49 gpt gold and 23.1 gpt silver (0.82 gpt AuEq) over 24.39 m,including 7.60 m grading 0.90 gpt Au and 41.6 gpt Ag (1.49 gpt AuEq)Hole TR21-09 - 0.452 gpt gold and 16.9 gpt silver (0.694 gpt AuEq) over 25.91 m,including 6.1 m grading 1.049 gpt Au and 24.3 gpt Ag (1.397 gpt AuEq)Gold equivalents are calculated using a 70:1 silver:gold ratio.
