  • Aztec Minerals Corp. announced RC drilling results from seven holes (TR26-54 to TR26-60) at the Tombstone Property in Southeastern Arizona.
  • All holes targeted the North Extension zone, intersecting broad oxide gold-silver mineralization along strike.
  • Hole TR26-54, a step-out east of TR26-43, returned 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 grading 6.85 g/t Au and 87.70 g/t Ag (8.44 g/t AuEq).
  • Hole TR26-60, a step-out 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 grading 0.44 g/t Au and 34.93 g/t Ag (1.08 g/t AuEq).
  • Hole 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 grading 0.86 g/t Au and 38.62 g/t Ag (1.56 g/t AuEq).
  • Hole 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 grading 1.34 g/t Au and 19.77 g/t Ag (1.70 g/t AuEq).
  • The remaining holes (TR26-55, TR26-57, TR26-58) intersected multiple lower-grade mineralized zones supporting continuity between earlier drill holes.
  • The North Extension zone is now mineralized across a wider footprint and remains open to the east, west, and north.
  • Fifteen additional drill holes (TR26-61 to TR26-75) have been drilled with results pending to clarify the scale of the zone.
  • Intervals reported are downhole lengths; true widths are not yet determined.
  • Gold-silver equivalents were calculated using recovery percentages from January 2026 testing and average metal prices from January to May 2026.
  • The 2025-2026 program aims to expand known mineralization horizontally and down-dip while testing deep targets in the Contention area.
  • Aztec holds an 85.0% interest in the Tombstone Property Joint Venture covering 833.25 hectares.
