Zonte Metals provides an update on its Cross Hills IOCG Project

TSXV: ZON

HALIFAX, Sept. 10, 2018 - Zonte Metals Inc. (TSXV: ZON) ("Zonte" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update related to its ongoing exploration program at the Cross Hills Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) Project.

Over the summer the Company completed additional exploration on the Cross Hills IOCG Project, including prospecting, mapping and additional high resolution ground magnetic surveys. Surface grab samples are presently in the laboratory and the Company is awaiting the results, which will be released once received and interpreted.

In addition and based on field observations, the Company has increased its land position from the initial 327 claims to 493 claims (or 81.75 to 123.25 sq. km). Although much of the initial property has not yet been explored, the increased land position was acquired as a result of identifying the possible controls for mineralization at the Dunns Mountain and K6 targets. Exploration is continuing with the immediate focus on bringing the known targets to the drill stage, if warranted. An update of the drilling plans will be announced once all data are in hand and the program has been set.

Terry Christopher, President and CEO states "Exploration at the Cross Hills IOCG project has been successful identifying iron oxide alteration coincident magnetic anomalies with surface copper mineralization, as seen at the K6 and Dunns Mountain targets. At this point the Company has elected to build on recent exploration and advance the targets through additional exploration in preparation for drilling. Work is presently underway and expected to be concluded within a month or so."
