Program At Tombstone Property Completed 42 Drill Holes

VANCOUVER – Aztec Minerals Corp. has received the results from an additional nine RC drill holes from its reverse circulation (RC) portion of the 2025 drilling program at the Tombstone Property in Southeastern Arizona. The 2025-2026 drilling program has now completed 42 RC drill holes and one core hole. The results from 9 RC holes drilled in the historic Contention Mine Area of the Contention Target are announced herein.
RC drill hole TR25-26 was collared as a northerly offset to TR25-17 in the center of the northern Contention mine area: Intersected 48.6 meters of 133.1 gpt AgEq (58.93 gpt Ag, 1.06 gpt Au) from surface. TR25-24 was collared in the central portion of the Contention area and was a long, continuous intersection of oxidized mineralization: 152.4 meters averaging 36.32 gpt AgEq (0.236 gpt Au, 19.81 gpt Ag), from the collar including 10.6 meters of 212.35 gpt AgEq (81.41 gpt Ag, 1.871 gpt Au) and 4.6 meters of 176.57 gpt AgEq (92.8 gpt Ag, 1.197 gpt Au). Drill hole TR25-25 was collared on the western side of the northern main Contention area and tested easterly and to depth in the target area.
Five zones of Ag-Au mineralization were intersected totaling 121.6 m in its 252.3 meter length including 48.6 m of 14.19 gpt AgEq (6.79 gpt Ag, 0.106 gpt Au). Over 48% of the drillhole’s length was composed of mineralized intersections.
Eight of the nine RC drillholes intersected Ag-Au mineralization and expanded the target area extent to the west, east and to depth. The majority of the intercepts show broad continuity of mineralization. All reported intersection lengths are apparent widths of mineralization, not true widths, which can range at the property from 30% to 100% of apparent widths.
