## Minestarters Atlas summary

Aztec Minerals has engaged APEX Geoscience Ltd. to prepare maiden mineral resource estimates and NI 43-101 technical reports for the Tombstone and Cervantes projects. The maiden MREs, expected in late Q3 2026, will be based on extensive historical and recent drilling data. Additionally, the company has engaged Atrium Research for sponsored research services.

Reasoning: The company has formally engaged a technical firm to convert existing drilling data into maiden mineral resource estimates for two key projects, a significant de-risking milestone.

- Positive factor: Engagement of professional firm for maiden MREs

- Positive factor: Significant drilling database \(25,000m at Tombstone, 12,200m at Cervantes\)

- Positive factor: Expansion of mineralized footprint at Cervantes

- Negative factor: MREs are not yet released \(expected late Q3 2026\)

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
