(TSXV:AZT)(OTCQB:AZZTF) announces that it has intersected the best hole yet from the 2022 RC drill program at the California target on the Cervantes property located in Sonora, Mexico. Results for hole CAL22-005 returned 136.8 metres grading 1.486 gpt Au including 51.7 metres grading 3.424 gpt Au.California Zone Drill Highlights1.486 gpt Au over 136.8 m in mineralized quartz feldspar porphyry and hydrothermal breccias, including 51.7 metres of 3.424 gpt Au in CAL22-005, located at the southern edge of the central part of the mineralized zone0.75 gpt Au over 100.3 m in mineralized porphyries and hydrothermal breccias, including 9.1 metres of 3.087 gpt Au in CAL22-006 located at the northern edge of the central portion of the mineralized zone0.422 gpt Au over 63.8 m in mineralized porphyries and hydrothermal breccias in CAL22-007, located at the northern edge of the central 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 holes CAL22-004 and CAL22-005Link to section view hole CAL22-005Link to section view hole CAL22-006Link to section view hole CAL22-007Reported 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, \"CAL22-05 intersected the strongest gold mineralization at Cervantes in the project's history.
