Aztec's drilling at their Tombstone project,

showcases further Bonanza hits along the Contention pit trend

The holes from the Westside area are in as well, demonstrating that this vast area has oxide Gold & Silver within

@AztecMinerals Assays from these step-outs show Tombstone was far from mined out:

➡️88.2m of 1.02 g/t AuEq
➡️114.3m of 0.60 g/t
➡️146.3m of 0.39 g/t

Heap leaching doesn't look sexy, but can be wildly profitable at grades well below 0.50 g/t

At Contention's widths & grades...🤤

@AztecMinerals At a distance of 440m from their previous record hit of 3,485 g/t AgEq over 1.52m

Aztec now hit 7,269 g/t AgEq (3,669 g/t Ag & 44.7 g/t Au!) over 1.52m

Instantly doubling the previous record silver grade hit at the project & making this a priority area for future drilling

@AztecMinerals Great results at the Westside Area

which was planned as an extension of production at the time

Aggressive first pass holes that yielded (AgEq):
➡️85.4m of 47.31 g/t inc 24.4m of 106 g/t
➡️25.9m of 32.47 g/t
➡️25.9m of 31.82 g/t + 12.2m of 15.39 g/t

@AztecMinerals The CEO is targeting the release of the aggressive holes into the Westside Area for mid to end of January (yellow arrows)

Alongside outstanding holes from the southern area at the Contention pit (red arrows)

This could be an important few weeks for Aztec

@AztecMinerals This 1st pass exploration drilling hit oxide Silver-Gold mineralisation in every drill hole!

These nearly double the exploration potential from the Contention pit area alone
It also shows the Westside area is more Silver rich compared to Contention, which is more Gold rich

@AztecMinerals This program gives a 1st glimpse of the growth potential at Tombstone

They enlarged the shallow bulk tonnage Au-Ag mineralisation at Contention + hit new targets in the Westside Area

Follow up planned & the Cervantes project is also getting ready for drilling
