Aztec Drills 70.1 Meters of 0.80 g/t AuEq (0.49 g/t Au and 16.85 g/t Ag) from Surface in TR26-54 at the Tombstone Project, Arizona
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / November 10, 2026 / Aztec Minerals Corp. (TSXV:AZT)(OTCQB:AZZTF) ("Aztec" or the "Company") announces the results from 7 drill holes (TR26-54 to TR26-60) from its reverse circulation ("RC") portion of the 2025-2026 drilling program at the Tombstone Property in Southeastern Arizona. All seven holes were drilled in the North Extension zone, where drilling continues to intersect oxide gold-silver mineralization along strike. All intervals reported herein are downhole lengths, true widths are not known at this time.
TR26-54, a step-out to the east of TR26-43, intersected 70.1 m averaging 0.49 g/t Au and 16.85 g/t Ag (0.80 g/t AuEq) from surface, including 3.0 m averaging 6.85 g/t Au and 87.70 g/t Ag (8.44 g/t AuEq) from 47.2 m. TR26-60, a step-out to the west of TR26-52, intersected 44.2 m averaging 0.24 g/t Au and 16.54 g/t Ag (0.54 g/t AuEq) from 64.0 m, including 6.1 m averaging 0.44 g/t Au and 34.93 g/t Ag (1.08 g/t AuEq) from 97.5 m. Both step-outs intersected broad zones of gold-silver mineralization outside the area covered by previously reported holes, extending the known mineralization in the North Extension to the east and west.
TR26-54 is the most significant result: a 70.1 m interval starting at surface is consistent with the shallow, bulk-tonnage oxide target the Company is testing at Tombstone, and the 3.0 m interval of 8.44 g/t AuEq at 47.2 m shows that higher-grade zones occur within the broader mineralized envelope. The remaining five holes each intersected multiple mineralized zones, supporting the continuity of mineralization between earlier holes. The North Extension zone remains open to the east, west and north, and holes TR26-61 to TR26-75 have been drilled with results pending.
TR26-56 intersected 86.9 m averaging 0.27 g/t Au and 12.97 g/t Ag (0.51 g/t AuEq) from 79.2 m, including 7.6 m averaging 0.86 g/t Au and 38.62 g/t Ag (1.56 g/t AuEq) from 141.7 m, and TR26-59 intersected 54.9 m averaging 0.20 g/t Au and 11.08 g/t Ag (0.40 g/t AuEq) from 21.3 m, including 4.6 m averaging 1.34 g/t Au and 19.77 g/t Ag (1.70 g/t AuEq) from 32.0 m.
Aztec Minerals CEO Simon Dyakowski commented: "TR26-54 and TR26-60 were drilled as step-outs to the east and west of our previously reported holes, and both returned broad zones of oxide gold-silver mineralization. The North Extension is now mineralized across a wider footprint than we had tested before this program, and it remains open in three directions. With 15 additional holes drilled and results pending, we expect to have a much clearer picture of the scale of this zone by year-end."
