Aztec Minerals (AZT.V) has confirmed its 5,000 meter core and RC drill program at its 78.7% owned Tombstone project in Arizona has now started. The current drill program is targeting shallow zones that have been identified by the company’s technical team as prospective for high-grade oxide gold-silver mineralization. It has been designed to expand the known mineralization horizontally and down dip beyond the holes drilled in the past few years at the Westside Area and the Contention pit, to expand the shallow bulk tonnage gold-silver mineralization discovered there.
On top of that, this drill program will test the Carbonate Replacement Deposit potential as the company will complete three holes into the target using RC pre-collars. These CRD targets were defined after combining the data from previous drill programs, 3D exploration data and the results of a NSAMT geophysics exploration program.
And finally, the newly staked unpatented lode claims will be subject to a surface exploration program.
