(TSXV:AZT)(OTCQB:AZZTF) announces the results of six drill holes from the South Drill Pattern along the Contention Pit at the Tombstone project in Southeastern Arizona. Highlights include a 48.77 meter (m) interval grading 1.01 grams per tonne (gpt) gold equivalent (AuEq at 80:1 gold:silver ratio) (0.38 gpt gold and 50.7 gpt silver) in hole TR20-13.The South Drill Pattern was drilled approximately 460 m south of the previously released four-hole Central Drill Pattern (see news release dated September 29, 2020). Drilling of the final five is now complete with results pending. This concludes the Phase 1 RC drill program for a total of 21 holes and 2,993 meters.The South Drill Pattern tested an area where no known historic drilling had taken place and discovered strong silver-gold-lead-zinc mineralization hosted in altered sandstone and siltstone. Phase 1 drilling has now verified gold-silver +/- lead-zinc mineralization along an 830 m length of the north-south Contention structure, open to the south and at depth.South Drill Pattern SummaryThe South Drill Pattern is highlighted by drill hole TR20-13 which entered the mineralized zone at 12.19 m depth and bottomed in mineralization at 60.96 m in depth due to loss of the hole. Higher grade intervals include 3.03 gpt AuEq (0.64 gpt Au and 190.9gpt Ag) over 6.1 m and 1.41 gpt AuEq (0.43 gpt gold and 78.4 gpt silver) over 25.91 m.View Tombstone 2020 RC Drill Program Plan Map and Drill Sections here:Link to section view hole TR20-11 and hole TR20-10Link to section view hole TR20-12 and hole TR20-10Link to section view hole TR20-13 and hole TR20-10Link to section view hole TR20-14 and hole TR20-15Link to section view hole TR20-16All six holes intersected old mine workings, likely dating back to the late 1800's, indicating that the highest-grade bonanz...
