Aztec Minerals Corp.
Aztec Minerals is advancing the brownfield Tombstone gold-silver project in Arizona's historic Tombstone Mining District -- past production of roughly 250,000 ounces of gold and 32 million ounces of silver -- with 2026 drilling extending the oxide zone over 85 metres deeper ahead of a maiden resource estimate targeted for Q3 2026, alongside the Cervantes gold-copper porphyry project in Sonora, Mexico.
Lifecycle Milestones
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal the underlying research identifies — whether a major already holds a JV, earn-in, or 5–19.9% strategic stake — isn't tracked yet and is absent from this score.

Insiders, Investors & Smart Money
Notable shareholders and insiders whose involvement is worth knowing about, plus what we're seeing from institutional/large-investor activity.
Crescat Capital, a resource-specialist manager, is on the register — it led the C$3.6 million placement Aztec closed in May 2025 — but the size of its position is not disclosed anywhere we could source, so it counts only as a specialist being present rather than as a measured stake. The other positive is management's own money: CEO Simon Dyakowski has bought on the open market three times, twice inside the last twelve months (25,000 shares at C$0.19 in June 2026 and 20,000 at C$0.23 in May 2026), with no sales on record. No producer or strategic corporate holds a stake, and institutional ownership is 11.3%.
