(TSXV:AZT)(OTCQB:AZZTF) announces that it continues to intersect broad well mineralized gold mineralization from the 2022 RC drill program at the California target on the Cervantes property located in Sonora, Mexico. Results for hole CAL22-012 returned 152.4 metres grading 0.87 gpT Au including 33.5 metres grading 2.05 gpT Au.California Zone Drill Highlights0.43 gpT Au over 132.2 m in mineralized quartz feldspar porphyry and hydrothermal breccias in CAL22-011, including 12.2 metres of 1.29 gpT Au located at the northern edge of the central portion of the mineralized zone0.87 gpT Au over 152.4 m in mineralized porphyries and hydrothermal breccias in CAL22-012 including 33.5 metres of 2.05 gpT Au located at the northern edge of the central portion of the mineralized zone0.48 gpT Au over 54.9 m in mineralized porphyries and hydrothermal breccias in CAL22-014, located at the northern edge of the eastern portion of the mineralized zoneThe primary focus of the Phase 2 RC drill program at Cervantes is to expand the previously drilled California zone by completing two drill hole fences parallel to and on either side of the 2017-18 Phase 1 drill hole fence. To-date, every hole drilled at California has intersected near surface, oxidized gold mineralization with minor copper oxides.View drill section here:Link to section view hole CAL22-011Link to section view hole CAL22-012Link to section view hole CAL22-013Link to section view hole CAL22-014Reported lengths are apparent widths, not true widths, and the observed gold mineralization appears to be widely distributed in disseminations, fractures and veinlets within quartz-feldspar porphyry, feldspar porphyry stocks and related hydrothermal breccias.Aztec CEO, Simon Dyakowski commented, \"These intersections continue to expand the oxide gold mineralized zone at California. This discovery further advances the California gold zone in demonstrating the open pit heap leach gold potential of the project. The Cervantes 2021-2022 RC drill prog...
