(TSX-V:AZT)(OTCQB:AZZTF) announces it has received assay results from the final three drill holes of its 2023 core drilling program at the Tombstone project in the historic Tombstone silver mining district in southeastern Arizona. Aztec holds a 75% interest in the Tombstone Property Joint Venture, which includes most of the original patented mining claims in the district as well as some recently acquired properties. The three drill holes are part of a recently completed 7-hole program that was drilled in a fan-grid pattern over the length of the Contention zone target. Multiple underground mine workings were intersected in all the drill holes.High grade gold and silver was encountered in TC23-02 within a zone of oxidized, altered siltstones/hornfels, sandstones/quartzites, Qfp dikes and hydrothermal breccias at depths between 13.7 m and 135.0 m. Drill hole TC23-02 intersected, at 86.9 m to 132.1 m, a broad, oxidized zone of 45.3 m averaging 1.69 gpt Au and 29.07 gpt Ag (2.04 gpt AuEq), including 6.63 gpt Au & 72.81 gpt Ag (7.49 gpt AuEq) over a 10.1 m width. Gold equivalence (AuEq) for the drill hole intercepts were calculated using an 80:1 silver:gold ratio. Drill holeTC23-02 was collared 50 m west as a step to the 2021 drillholes on the \"M sectio...
