(TSXV:AZT)(OTCQB:AZZTF) (\"Aztec\" or the \"Company\") announces it has engaged APEX Geoscience Ltd. (APEX) of Edmonton, Alberta to complete maiden mineral resource estimates (\"MREs\") and National Instrument (NI) 43-101 technical reports at the Company's two projects: the 85%-owned Tombstone Project in Southeastern Arizona, and the 100%-owned Cervantes Project in Sonora, Mexico. The respective maiden MREs and supporting technical reports are expected to be released in late Q3 2026.The Tombstone project is currently completing a combined 17,000m RC and Core drilling campaign that commenced last year, and exploration data from the project received to the end of June 2026 is expected to be included in the MRE. The MRE is expected to be based on over 25,000 meters across 130+ drill holes of combined Core and RC drilling conducted by Aztec since drilling commenced in 2020. The maiden MRE is expected to indicate open-pittable and leachable oxidized Au-Ag resources.At Cervantes, Aztec has drilled over 12,200 meters across 73 drill holes in Core and RC drilling campaigns spanning from 2017 to 2023. The drilling at Cervantes has been concentrated at the California zone of oxide gold potential, and the maiden MRE is expected to provide a baseline from which to grow, as mineralization appears to be open in all directions. Recent surface exploration has expanded the footprint along strike of the mineralized host quartz feldspar porphyry (Qfp) by 50%, and has also identified prospective surface values for the California North, Brazil, and Estrella targets.Engagement of Atrium ResearchAztec also announces it has engaged the services of Atrium Research Corporation (\"Atrium\"), a leading company sponsored research firm.
