Exploring the Tombstone Project: Aztec Minerals’ Successful 2024 Drill Program
Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire – February 19, 2025
Aztec Minerals Corp. (AZT: TSX-V, OTSQB: AZZTF), a mineral exploration company, recently completed an extensive 17-hole, 3,129-meter reverse circulation (RC) drill program on its Tombstone Project in Southeastern Arizona. The project covers most of the historic Tombstone silver mining district, renowned for its rich mineral deposits.
Significant Expansion of Mineralization
The drill program was successful in significantly expanding the footprint of the wide and shallow potentially bulk mineable style of oxide silver-gold mineralization. This discovery adds to the Company’s growing confidence in the potential economic viability of the Tombstone Project.
Contention Southern Extension Zone: Highlights
One of the most promising areas of the Tombstone Project is the Contention Southern Extension Zone. The following highlights summarize the drill results:
- Drill hole TB24-21: Intersected 13.7 meters of 142 g/t silver and 0.36 g/t gold
- Drill hole TB24-22: Intersected 15.2 meters of 127 g/t silver and 0.26 g/t gold
- Drill hole TB24-23: Intersected 10.7 meters of 113 g/t silver and 0.23 g/t gold
These impressive results indicate the presence of high-grade silver-gold mineralization in the Contention Southern Extension Zone.
Impact on the Mining Industry and the World
The successful drill program at the Tombstone Project is a significant development for the mining industry. The discovery of wide and shallow potentially bulk mineable oxide silver-gold mineralization could lead to the development of a new mine in the historic Tombstone mining district. This, in turn, could create new jobs and stimulate economic growth in the region.
At a larger scale, the Tombstone Project’s success underscores the potential for continued mineral discoveries and mining exploration in Arizona and other parts of the world. As technology advances and drilling techniques improve, companies may be able to discover and extract minerals from previously uneconomic deposits.
Conclusion
Aztec Minerals’ successful 2024 drill program at the Tombstone Project in Southeastern Arizona has significantly expanded the known footprint of the wide and shallow potentially bulk mineable oxide silver-gold mineralization. With impressive results at the Contention Southern Extension Zone, the Company is optimistic about the potential economic viability of the project. The discovery could lead to the development of a new mine in the historic Tombstone mining district, creating jobs and stimulating economic growth in the region. Additionally, the success of the Tombstone Project highlights the potential for continued mineral discoveries and mining exploration worldwide.
As a curious human, I find this discovery fascinating, as it showcases the potential for new mineral discoveries and the advancement of mining technology. The mining industry and the world stand to benefit greatly from these developments. Stay tuned for more updates on the Tombstone Project and other exciting discoveries in the world of mineral exploration.
Happy mining!
