[{"type":"text","content":"Aztec Reports Final Gold and Multi-Element Results From 2023 RC Drilling from the Cervantes Project, Sonora, Mexico; Multiple, Shallow and Broad, Oxidized Gold Intercepts Continue the Expansion of the California Target Mineralized Zone VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 7, 2024 / Aztec Minerals Corp. (TSXV:AZT)(OTCQB:AZZTF) announces the final results of Au and multi-element analysis for its 2023 RC drill program at the Cervantes project in Sonora, Mexico. The RC drill program comprised 1,646 meters in 13 RC drill holes testing the California porphyry gold target located in the district of Soyopa, Sonora, Mexico. Total drilling by Aztec Minerals on the Cervantes project since 2016 now totals 67 drill holes and 12,134m.The California target of near surface, oxide gold porphyry mineralization was successfully expanded, and the presence of anomalous copper, molybdenum and silver, in addition to significant gold mineralization, corresponds well in relation to the top of large, strong IP chargeability anomaly astride an aeromagnetic low anomaly.RC drill results at the California target returned significant gold mineralization from the 2023 RC drill program on the Cervantes property located in Sonora, Mexico. The multi-element ICP results show good, positive relationships between Au, Cu, Bi, Ag, As, W and K (potassic alteration), negative relationships with Mo, Sb and Ca. The multi-element grades support the potential for an Au-Cu porphyry deposit at depth.2023 California Target Drill HighlightsAll drill holes intersected oxidized Au mineralization.The California target continues to be open.The California target now has an area of 1,000 m by 300m drill demonstrated.The California target was found to continue on strike to the east at least another 400 m.The primary focus of the Phase 3A RC drill program at Cervantes was to expand the previously drilled California zone. This was done successfully. To-date, every hole drilled at California has intersected near surface, oxidized gold mineralization with minor copper oxides.Reported lengths are apparent widths, not true widths, and the observed gold mineralization is hosted in the California porphyry intrusive complex and is widely distributed in disseminations, fractures and veinlets within its quartz-feldspar porphyry, feldspar porphyry stocks, quartzites and related hydrothermal breccia...
