Aztec Minerals Corp. (AZT) has begun core drilling at its Cervantes porphyry gold-copper property.

Aztec plans to drill the 10-hole, 3,000 metre core program through September 2022 as a follow-up to the Phase 2 drill program earlier this year.

The new program will test three main targets: The California target, the California North prospect, and the Jasper prospect. The primary objectives of the drilling program are to better define the open pit, heap leach gold potential of the porphyry gold oxide cap at California, evaluate the potential for deeper copper-gold porphyry sulfide mineralization underlying the oxide cap, test for northern extensions of the California mineralization at California North and northwestern extensions of the Jasper mineralization.

Cervantes is a highly prospective 36.4 sq. km. porphyry gold-copper-molybdenum property located in southeastern Sonora state, Mexico.
