Azteca is an aggressive gold and silver exploration company.  Our focus is to maximize long term shareholder value by making new discoveries in past producing districts located in miner-friendly locations:  Idaho, Nevada, Alaska, and Mexico.

Led by CEO and Chairman Matthew Russell, formerly co-founder and V.P. of Operations for Idaho General Mines (now General Moly - GMO), Azteca Gold’s management, staff and consultants have a proven track record of finding and developing economic mineral deposits.

Azteca's growing portfolio of gold and silver exploration projects has been meticulously constructed utilizing a philosophy of value, ability to test for large upside relatively cheaply, and reduced external risks such as political, permitting, local infrastructure, financing, etc.  Azteca’s strategy is to generate projects meeting its requirements and develop them through to world-class bankable feasibility studies as quickly as possible.  From that point, Azteca may move to construction and production, joint-ventures to achieve same, or outright sale on each project as best affects the shareholders.
