Aztec Minerals Completes Earn-in and Exercises Option to Acquire a 65%
Interest in the Cervantes Project in Sonora, Mexico from Kootenay Silver
Appoints Andy Bowering to Advisory Committee
Vancouver, Canada – July 3 0, 2019 - Aztec Minerals Corp. (AZT: TSX -V, OTCQB: AZZTF)
announces that it has completed the terms of its earn-in and has exercised its option to acquire a 65% interest
in the Cervantes porphyry gold-copper project in Sonora, Mexico from Kootenay Silver Inc., Kootenay
retains the remaining 35% interest in Cervantes.
Aztec and Kootenay expect to finalize the terms of the joint venture agreement shortly, then form a joint
venture management committee, review the exploration results to date and approve the next exploration
program and budget at Cervantes.
Aztec also announces the appointment of Andrew Bowering to its business and technical advisory board.
Mr. Bowering is a venture capitalist with 30 years of experience in mineral exploration and development
worldwide. He has founded, funded and built management teams that have operated numerous companies
in the pursuit of precious, base and industrial metals from early exploration through to production.
Mr. Bowering has a financial background as a stock broker and a business background as the founder and
an owner of Sunrise Drilling Ltd. In recent years, Andy has held senior leadership roles in public and
private companies from investor relations to CEO. He is a founder and significant shareholder of Millennial
Lithium Corp and is the founder and current CEO of Prime Mining Corp.
Joey Wilkins, Aztec CEO, stated: “We are pleased to reach this milestone after four years of productive
mineral exploration on the Cervantes property. The r esults of our geophysical surveys, geochemical
sampling, and geologic mapping have outlined a district-scale porphyry gold-copper system with multiple
targets, most of which have never been drilled.”
“Our first drill program at the California prospect resulted in the discovery of a large, well mineralized gold
oxide zone hosted by a strongly altered and brecciated quartz feldspar porphyry intrusion. A strong, broad
IP chargeability anomaly underlies the California gold oxide zone down to at least 500 meters depth, is
interpreted to be an underlying sulfide zone and has not yet been tested by drilling.”
“A recently completed Phase 2 geophysical survey has uncovered additional high priority chargeability and
resistivity anomalies on trend with the California prospect in two separate porphyry targets, more details to
follow. The number of high -quality targets continues to grow as we explore the full extent of th is
prospective 3,500 hectare property.”
“I would like to welcome Andy Bowering to our advisory committee. Andy has enjoyed much success in
the management of and capital formation for exploration and mining ventures. We look forward to working
with him as we advance our mineral exploration projects through the discovery phase.”
