Aztec Minerals Expands Tombstone Drilling Program and Initiates Geophysical Survey

Aztec Minerals Corp. has announced an expansion of its drilling program at the Tombstone Project in Arizona by an additional 4,500 meters. This expansion, approved by the project's Joint Venture Management Committee, brings the total expected drilling to approximately 17,000 meters, combining core and reverse circulation drilling. The newly approved budget of CAD$1.7 million will target several areas to explore oxide gold-silver mineralization.

The company has also started downhole electromagnetic surveys on select core holes to identify potential massive sulfide mineralization below the shallow Bisbee group sediments. Zonge International is contracted to conduct these surveys over March 2026.

Additionally, Aztec Minerals announced a virtual corporate update scheduled for March 11, 2026. This presentation will include a live Q&A session, providing shareholders and interested parties an opportunity for direct engagement.

Investments into stock options and restricted share units have been made to directors and consultants under the company's equity plan. Aztec holds an 85% interest in the Tombstone Property, focusing on both shallow and deeper mesothermal and CRD mineralization.
