(AZT:\nTSX-V, OTCQB: AZZTF)\n \n\n (“Aztec” or the\n“Company”) announces the results of recent data compilation and\nanalysis of RC drilling, surface channel sampling, and 3D data\nmodelling at the Tombstone Property in Southeastern Arizona, USA.\n The data analysis has enhanced the understanding of the\nMulti-Element (“ME”) geochemical relationships with the\nquartz-rich intrusive dikes and gold-silver mineralization in the main\nexploration areas, with implications for potential CRD mineralization\nbelow the near-surface gold-silver oxide mineralization.  Aztec has\nnow integrated the combined 2020-2024 drilling and surface ME and 3D\nmodelling exploration data producing several distinct geochemical\nrelationships and has provided vectors for high priority, shallow,\noxide gold-silver mineralization and CRD targeting at the\nproperty.\n \n\n\n\n The compilation of the data for the shallow, <250m\ndepths of the project positions the Quartz-feldspar porphyry (QFP)\ndikes in relation with the Gold, Silver and ME mineralization in\ndistinct patterns.  For gold, the relationship is strongest in the\nContention Pit and its QFP dike swarm whereas silver is strong\nthroughout the property where drilled, suggesting two separate phases\nof mineralization (Figure 1).\n \n\n\n\n Figure 1: Gold vs Silver Average\nDrillhole Grades\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Click Image To View Full Size\n \n\n\n\n Copper and molybdenum distributions are interpreted to\nbe related to two stages of metallization, with the Contention QFP\ndike swarm remobilizing an older base metal copper-molybdenum stage\n(potential CRD) within its area of influence, strongly depleting\nmolybdenum (Figure 2).\n \n\n\n\n Figure 2: Copper vs Molybdenum\nAverage Drillhole Grades\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Click Image To View Full Size\n \n\n\n\n Lead and zinc are frequently in close proximity, and\nzinc appears to be partly remobilized by the Contention QFP dike\nswarm; however, lead appears to be steady or even enriched by the\nlater metallization stage (Figure 3).\n \n\n\n\n F...
