Aztec’s first drill program at Cervantes resulted in the discovery of a large, well mineralised gold oxide zone at the California zone, one of several prospective porphyry gold-copper targets on the property. Aztec and Kootenay will now form a joint venture Management Committee with Aztec as the Operator of the joint venture. The Committee will meet in the new year to review and approve the next phase of exploration to unfold the full potential of this exciting exploration asset.”

The initial acquisition and identification of Cervantes is the result of the project generative work by Kootenay’s technical team. It is an example of the quality of early stage projects within the Company’s pipeline of projects that includes several properties in Mexico and Canada currently available for option.”
