Aztec Minerals (AZT.V) has announced the Joint Venture management committee has approved to increase the current drill program by an additional 3,500 meters of reverse circulation drilling for a total of C$1.4M, which will push the total amount of meters drilled to 22,200 meters. The drill program started about a year ago, and Aztec’s continuous efforts will see it come in at just over 18,800 meters of RC drilling and just under 3,400 meters of core drilling. A total of 14,162 meters of RC drilling has already been completed while the core drill program has been completed.
The additional holes and meters will be focusing on the Northern Contention Area, the continuation of the main Contention target with similar geology. The drill program will now continue through August 2026 with assay results expected to come in on a continuous basis into Q4 2026.
