  • ELEPHANT HUNTING IN THE AMERICASFocused on Discovery

    Aztec Minerals Corp. (AZT: TSXV) (AZZTF: OTCQB) is a mineral exploration company focused on making large new discoveries

    Elephant Hunting StrategyExploring for poly-metallic deposits in historic mining districts with “elephant potential” in NorthAmerica

    Two Prospective ProjectsCervantes porphyry gold-copper property in Sonora, Mexico and Tombstone CRD silver-lead-zinc-gold project in Arizona, USA

    New Porphyry DiscoveryCervantes has virgin gold-copper porphyry discovery, every drill hole intersected strong mineralization over substantial widths

    Exceptional CRD PotentialTombstone has similar CRD discovery potential to the massive Taylor discovery recently purchased for CAD$1.8 billion

    Low Market Capitalization56.9 million shares issued @ CAD$0.31 = $18.0 million market cap,35% closely held, Insiders 15%

    Experienced Management and BoardTrack record of discovering orebodies, developing mines and selling companies

  • TOMBSTONE JV (75% AZT)CRD Silver-Gold-Lead-Zinc Project

    • Well located property, primarily patented land, covers historicTombstone silver mining district, great infrastructure, local town,road access, full services, water, power

    • Historic silver district produced 32 million oz from 1878-1939, high grade, oxidized, silver-gold-lead-zinc-copper vein and CRD deposits, small open pit heap leach production in 1980’s

    • Phase 1 RC drill program (21 holes, 2993m) intersected extensive gold-silver mineralization along 830m length of the North-trending Contention Structure

    • Main high-grade target is bulk-tonnage carbonate replacement deposit in Paleozoic limestones similar to the Taylor discovery (100 million tonnes of 10% ZnEq) located 60 km southwest of Tombstone, purchased for $1.8-billion by South 32

    • Distinct magnetic anomalies confirm multiple target areas, Contention pit hosts dikes along strongest structure, excellent potential for “Taylor” CRD deposits

    • Historic open-pit mine at Contention pit for epithermal gold mineralization

    • Historic deep drilling for CRD mineralization returned multiple intersections grading up to 32 gpt silver, 0.61% copper, 6.5% lead and 2.6% zinc over 7.2m core length

    • Recent high grade sampling in Contention Pit, grades up to 3,178 gpt silver and 23.5 gpt gold, epithermal stockwork mineralization open alongstrike

    Historic Deep Drilling*

    *7.2m @ 0.06 gpt gold, 32 gpt silver, 0.61% Cu, 6.5% Pb, 2.6% Zn in T8

    1.52m @ 0.22 gpt gold, 33gpt Ag, 0.89% Cu, 2.2% Pb, 2.0% Zn @ 520m

    7.16m @ 0.06 gpt gold, 32gpt silver, 0.61% Cu, 6.5%Pb, 2.6% Zn @ 657m

    * Aztec has not verified the historic drill results and is not relying on them

  • CERVANTES JV (65% AZT)Porphyry Gold (+/-Copper) Project

    • Large well located property (3,649 hectares) with good infrastructure, road access, local town, all private land, water wells on property, grid power nearby

    • Eleven prospective mineralized zones related to high level porphyries and breccias, at intersection of NW porphyry copper and EW epithermal gold trends

    • Strong geochemical soil anomalies, California target soils average 0.44 gpt gold over 900m long by 600m wide, peak values up to 4 gptgold

    • Distinct geophysical anomalies, California target marked by low/high magnetic and low resistivity anomalies, high radiometric and chargeability anomalies related to pervasive alteration

    • Extensive gold mineralization in rock at California zone, channel samples up to 0.47 gpt gold over 222m, drill holes up to 0.77 gpt gold over 160m

    • Excellent gold recoveries from metallurgical tests on drill core from California zone, oxide gold recoveries range from 75% to 87%

    • California zone wide open laterally and to depth, IP anomaly strengthens and broadens to 500m depth over an area 1100m by 1200m

    California zone mineralized stockworks in altered and brecciated high level porphyry intrusion grading 3.9 gpt gold in outcrop

    Main gold-copper sulfide target yet to be drilled, all other prospects have never been drilled

    Long section SW-NE, weaker shallow chargeability due to oxidation, stronger deep chargeability due to sulfides?
