Matthew Russell, President of Azteca Gold Corp. ("Azteca" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:AZG) is pleased to provide the following exploration and corporate
update.
Drilling at DDH-009 is Underway
The drill contractor has completed the mobilization of a third LF-90 diamond
core drill to the Two Mile Project site in the Silver Valley of Idaho. Hole
DDH-009 has been collared at 2860 FT elevation above Mean Sea Level, at Northing
5264772 and Easting 577233, and as of 9:00 PM on July 18th it had reached a
depth of 830 feet. Cemented casing was set to 60 feet, and the hole is within
acceptable tolerance to planned dip and strike.
Qualified Person for the Two Mile Project Dick Nanna, who is also on the Board
of Azteca Gold, explained, "We are excited to drill hole DDH-009 for a number of
reasons, and much work and study has gone into its preparation. As mentioned in
the July 2nd press release, this drill campaign is designed to test for
mineralization which may have been concentrated within the central hinge of the
Two Mile Anticline, including up-dip from our initial discovery at DDH-005A.
This hole, which is being drilled from within the presumed apex of the Two Mile
Anticline, may intersect several zones of interest including those in the upper
third of the hole associated with the lower Burk metasediments."
Corporate Update
The Company has made applications for regulatory approvals for the previously
