Aztec Regrets to Announce Passing of David M. Jones
Vancouver, Canada December 30, 2021 - Aztec Minerals Corp. (AZT: TSX-V, OTCQB: AZZTF) announces
with great sadness that Mr. David M. Jones, Technical Advisor to Aztec, passed away suddenly and
unexpectedly on December 28, 2021.
During his 40 -year career, David had a true passion for geology and the mining industry who strived to
push geological boundaries and explore in newly undiscovered jurisdictions. During the early 1990s, he
was the principal geologist for Teck Corp. in Mexico to explore the Nukay mine region which resulted in
the discovery of the Los Filos gold deposit in 1995 now o wned by Equinox Gold Corp. Throughout his
tenure within this region, he built the knowledge to be considered a specialist in skarn and porphyry
systems, of which his geological model was responsible for multiple discoveries resulting in being the
foremost expert on what has now grown to be known as the ‘Guerrero Gold Belt’. He served as Chief
Technical Advisor and helped establish Torex Gold Resources Inc. and their El Limon/Los Guajes gold
deposits. This well-endowed gold region eventually attracted several world-class major mining companies
including Equinox Gold, Torex Gold, Agnico Eagle and Osisko Development Corp. More recently, Mr. Jones
was responsible for identifying the exploration target that directly led to the discovery of Gold Resource
Corp's Switchback vein system at the El Aguila project. He served as a director of Cayden Resources
through their acquisition by Agnico Eagle. He was a well sought-after geological advisor to several mining
companies.
