Zonte Metals Discovers New Large Gravity Anomaly, Coincident Surface Copper Mineralization

Terry Christopher, President and CEO commented "Zonte has defined a series of signatures from known targets within the Cross Hill Copper Project. This data has been applied to other areas within the project, which has resulted in the discovery of the new K1 target. A recent gravity survey over the K1 area discovered a large anomaly measuring 2km in length and up to 600m wide. Recent field reconnaissance has confirmed the presence of copper mineralization on the eastern side of the gravity anomaly, with the western portions of the anomaly mainly under cover. The Company will complete a number of additional exploration programs over the K1 area to provide further understanding of the target."

The new K1 target is large, measuring just over 2km, and is coincident with iron oxide, calcic and sodic alteration, along with copper indications in bedrock. At this point the company has completed a structural analysis of the area, and first pass alteration mapping and prospecting. Further exploration programs are already in progress, with a field crew actively working on the new target.
