(2) VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 12, 2021 / Aztec Minerals Corp. (TSXV:AZT)(OTCQB:AZZTF) reviews the geological highlights of the recently completed Phase 1, reverse circulation (RC) drill program conducted at the Tombstone project in Southeastern Arizona from August to November 2020. The Phase 1, 21-hole, 2,993 meter drill program tested the potential for shallow, broad, bulk tonnage gold-silver mineralization around and below the Contention open pit and underground mine workings. The Contention Mine was historically the largest and highest grade silver mine in the Tombstone silver district (32 million oz past production) in the late 1800's-early 1900's. More recent Contention open pit mining in the early to mid-1980's focused on gold-silver mineralization to approximately 60m depth entirely hosted within the Cretaceous Bisbee group sandstones. Most other mines in the district were much smaller veins and mantos hosted within the lower Bisbee and partially within the underlying Paleozoic limestones.
