VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 16, 2023 / Aztec Minerals Corp. (TSX-V:AZT)(OTCQB:AZZTF) announces it has selected a drilling contractor to conduct the upcoming reverse circulation "RC" drilling program at its 100% owned Cervantes porphyry gold-copper project in Sonora, Mexico. Drilling is expected to commence over the coming weeks and crews have mobilized to the project to prepare for the upcoming program. The drill program is designed based on the results of the company's 2022 drilling campaigns and recently completed surface exploration program, as described in the June 22, 2023 news release.
溫哥華,BC/ACCESSWIRE/2023年10月16日/Aztec Minerals Corp.(多倫多證券交易所股票代碼:AZT)(OTCQB:AZZTF)宣佈已經選擇了一家鑽探承包商,在其100%擁有的墨西哥索諾拉塞萬提斯斑岩金銅礦專案中進行即將到來的反迴圈“RC”鑽探專案。鑽探預計將在未來幾周內開始,工作人員已經動員到該專案,為即將到來的計劃做準備。該鑽探計劃是根據該公司2022年鑽探活動和最近完成的地面勘探計劃的結果設計的,如2023年6月22日的新聞稿所述。
The initial stage of the planned RC drill program is expected to be conducted over the fourth quarter. The planned drill targets have utilized information gathered during the surface roadcut sampling and detailed 1:200 scale geologic mapping program conducted in the first half of 2023. The surface program has enhanced the interpretation for exploration targets to potentially expand the gold mineralization at the primary California target zone of the property. Drilling is expected to be conducted in two stages and has been permitted for a total of 28 drillholes and 4200 m, commencing with a first stage in late 2023. The second stage of the drilling program will be designed subject to the results of the initial stage of RC drilling.
計劃中的RC鑽探計劃的初始階段預計將在第四季度進行。計劃中的鑽探目標利用了2023年上半年進行的地面路切採樣和1:200詳細地質填圖計劃期間收集的資訊。地表計劃加強了對勘探目標的解釋,以潛在地擴大該礦藏主要加州目標區的金礦化。鑽探預計將分兩個階段進行,共允許鑽28個鑽孔和4200米,第一階段將於2023年底開始。鑽探計劃的第二階段將根據RC鑽探初始階段的結果進行設計。
The primary objectives of the upcoming drilling programs are to continue to define the open pit, heap leach gold potential of the porphyry oxide cap at California, test the down dip extensions of the silicic-phyllic alteration in the Qfp intrusive for deeper copper-gold porphyry sulfide mineralization underlying the oxide cap, and test for extensions of the California North target.
即將進行的鑽探計劃的主要目標是繼續確定露天礦,堆浸加州斑岩氧化物蓋層的金礦潛力,測試QFP侵入體中硅質-葉狀蝕變向下傾斜的延伸,以尋找氧化物蓋層下較深的銅金斑岩硫化物礦化,並測試加利福尼亞北部目標的延伸。

Cervantes Project Overview
塞萬提斯專案概述
Cervantes is a highly prospective porphyry gold-copper project located in southeastern Sonora state, Mexico. The project lies 160 km east of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico within the prolific Laramide porphyry copper belt approximately 265 km southeast of the Cananea porphyry copper-molybdenum mine (Grupo Mexico). Cervantes also lies along an east-west trending gold belt 60 km west of the Mulatos epithermal gold mine (Alamos Gold), 35 km northeast of the Osisko San Antonio gold mine, 45 km west of the La India mine (Agnico Eagle), and 40 km northwest of Santana gold deposit (Minera Alamos).

塞萬提斯是位於墨西哥索諾拉州東南部的一個極具前景的斑岩型金銅礦。。該專案位於墨西哥索諾拉州埃爾莫西洛以東160公里處,位於加拿大斑岩銅鉬礦(Grupo墨西哥)東南約265公里處多產的拉萊姆斑岩銅礦帶內。 Cervantes還位於Mulatos低溫熱液金礦(Alamos Gold)以西60公里、Osisko San Antonio金礦東北35公里、La India礦(Agnico Eagle)以西45公里、桑塔納金礦(Minera Alamos)西北40公里處的東西走向金礦帶上。 查看:塞萬提斯專案位置圖

California Target
加州目標
Aztec has now completed over 10,500 meters of drilling over 54 drill holes at the Cervantes Project, primarily at the California target. In 2017-18, Aztec completed a Phase 1, 17 diamond core hole drill program, totaling 2,675 meters (m). The initial phase of drilling tested the California target 900m by 600m gold-in-soils anomaly that averaged 0.44gpt covering hydrothermal breccias within a Quartz feldspar porphyry stock intruding older siliciclastic sediments.
阿茲特克公司現在已經在塞萬提斯專案的54個鑽孔中完成了超過10,500米的鑽探,主要是在加利福尼亞州的目標。2017-18年度,阿茲特克公司完成了1期17孔鑽石岩心鑽進計劃,總長度為2675米。測試了鑽井的初始階段加利福尼亞州的目標是900m乘600m土壤中的黃金異常,平均0.44gpt覆蓋了石英長石斑岩中的熱液角礫巖,侵入了更古老的硅屑沉積物。
During the 2021 - 2022 exploration program, Aztec completed a further combined 7,837 m of drilling over 37 drill holes comprised of a 26-hole 5,248.6 m track-mounted reverse circulation drill program and an 11-hole 2,588 m man-portable oriented core program.
在2021-2022年勘探計劃期間,阿茲特克在37個鑽孔上完成了總計7837米的鑽探,其中包括26孔5,248.6米履帶式反迴圈鑽井方案和11孔2,588米可攜式定向岩心方案。
Every 2021-2022 drill hole, except one, of the 29 drill holes successfully completed out of 31 attempted drill holes at the California and the adjoining California Norte targets intersected near surface, oxidized gold mineralization with minor copper values. The drilling program expanded the footprint and the depth of the California target mineralization and alteration associated with the California porphyry intrusive complex with continued intercepts of broad gold mineralization.
在加利福尼亞州和毗鄰的加利福尼亞州北加州目標的31個嘗試鑽孔中,除一個外,2021-2022年的29個鑽孔均已成功完成,這些鑽孔在地表附近相交,氧化了金礦化,銅值很小。鑽探計劃擴大了與加州斑岩侵入雜巖有關的加州目標礦化和蝕變的足跡和深度,並持續截獲廣泛的金礦化。
The identified California target area drilled has been enlarged to approximately 900 meters long E - W by 730 meters wide N-S, and exploration drilling successfully expanded the primary California zone to an area now measuring approximately 900 meters long E-W by 250 to 500 meters wide N-S, with demonstrated, continuous mineralization of up to 170 meters depth. The porphyry gold-copper mineralization is still open in all directions with anomalous mineralization and alteration up to 265 meters depth vertically. The California and California Norte targets appear to be merging from drilling and surface exposures. Aztec's drilling to-date has consistently intersected an oxidized gold cap to a porphyry-type gold-copper-silver system at California, including multiple 100+ meter widths of exceeding 0.40 gpt gold.
已確定的加州目標鑽探區域已擴大到約長900米,東西寬730米的北S帶和勘探鑽探成功地將加利福尼亞州的主要地帶擴大到現在長約900米,東西寬250至500米的北S帶,已探明的連續礦化深度可達170米。斑岩型金銅礦化仍呈全方位開放,垂向礦化蝕變深度達265米。由於鑽探和地表暴露,加利福尼亞州和加利福尼亞州北部的目標似乎正在合併。到目前為止,阿茲特克的鑽探一直將加州的氧化金帽與斑岩型金-銅-銀系統相交,包括超過0.40 Gpt黃金的多個100米以上寬度。

Preliminary metallurgical tests on California drill cores were conducted in 2019 (see news release dated March 12, 2019). Drill core samples were grouped into 4 separate types of mineralization: Oxide 1, Oxide 2, Mixed Oxide/Sulfide and Sulfide. The preliminary results of bottle roll tests showed excellent potential for heap leach gold recovery, as follows:
2019年對加州鑽芯進行了初步冶金測試(見2019年3月12日的新聞稿)。鑽芯樣品可分為4種不同的礦化類型:氧化物1、氧化物2、混合氧化物/硫化物和硫化物。滾瓶試驗的初步結果表明,堆浸回收黃金的潛力很大,如下:
- 85.1% recovery on 2.0mm material and 94.3% on 75-micron material in sample Oxide 1
- 87.7% recovery on 2.0mm material and 94.2% on 75-micron material in sample Oxide 2

- 51.2% recovery on 2.0mm material and 78.7% on 75-micron material in sample Sulphide
- 樣品氧化物1中2.0 mm材料的回收率為85.1%,75微米材料的回收率為94.3%
- 樣品氧化物2中2.0 mm材料的回收率為87.7%,75微米材料的回收率為94.2%
