Aztec Minerals Announces DTC Eligibility of its Common Shares in the United States

VANCOUVER, March 21, 2022 - Aztec Minerals Corp. (TSXV:AZT)(OTCQB:AZZTF) announces that its common shares traded in the United States under the symbol AZZTF on the OTCQB are now Depository Trust Company ("DTC") eligible.

DTC, a subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, manages the electronic clearing and settlement of publicly-traded companies. Securities that are eligible to be electronically cleared and settled through DTC are considered "DTC eligible". This electronic method of clearing securities speeds up the receipt of stock and cash, accelerating the settlement process for investors and brokers, enabling the stock to be traded over a much wider selection of brokerage firms.

Obtaining DTC eligibility for Aztec common shares increases visibility and accessibility for current and potential shareholders in the United States. It enables Aztec to expand its reach to a larger portion of the global investment community, while providing a more efficient and seamless trading process.
