😍 Gold Keeps Coming

Aztec Minerals Corp. (TSXV: AZT; OTCQB: AZZTF) reported additional drill results from its 2025-2026 drilling program at the Tombstone Project in Arizona, USA.

Highlights:

  • 198.1 metres of 1.30 g/t gold equivalent, including:

    • 155.4 metres of 1.63 g/t gold equivalent, 44.2 metres of 2.60 g/t gold equivalent and 6.1 metres of 10.18 g/t gold equivalent.

  • 32.0 metres of 0.26 g/t gold equivalent, including:

    • 3.0 metres grading 35.50 g/t silver and 0.58% lead.

  • 22.9 metres of 0.37 g/t gold equivalent.

Drilling continues to expand the near-surface oxide gold-silver mineralisation at the Contention Zone, extending the system along strike and significantly deeper while identifying additional targets across the Tombstone Project.

The results also include the first assays from Aztec's core drilling program, confirming CRD-style sulphide mineralisation at depth.

Founders Metals Inc. (TSXV: FDR; OTCQX: FDMIF) provided a mid-year exploration update from its fully funded 70,000-metre drill program at the Antino Gold Project in Suriname.

    • 18.0 metres of 1.59 g/t gold.

  • 30.0 metres of 4.52 g/t gold.

  • 23.0 metres of 5.31 g/t gold.

The latest exploration results confirm a new gold discovery at Antino Northeast while continuing to expand multiple mineralised systems across the project.

Drilling has also advanced Antino North, high-grade near-surface mineralisation at Maria Geralda and follow-up work at Antino West, where assays remain pending, highlighting the district-scale growth potential of the Antino Project.
