March 12, 2025 – TheNewswire – Dartmouth, Nova Scotia – Zonte Metals Inc. (TSXV:ZON)(XOTC:EREPF) (“Zonte” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the advancement of the Nine Mile target with the discovery of its fifth large gravity anomaly, on its Cross Hill Copper Project in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Highlights from Nine Mile target
- The discovery of a strong 5 mGal gravity anomaly.
- The gravity anomaly has significant size, with dimensions up to 3700 metres by 3100 metres and +900 metres deep, and open to the south.
- The gravity anomaly sits in a complex structural zone that could have provided mineralizing fluid pathways, enhancing its potential.
Terry Christopher, President and CEO, comments: “The discovery of this large, strong gravity anomaly at Nine Mile is a significant discovery for Zonte, being its fifth large-scale gravity anomaly outlined within the project. A portion of the new anomaly is po sitioned at a flexure in the Cross Hills fault and intersected by multiple fault sets. This structural zone may have acted as a conduit for fluid movement and a potential trap for mineralization . At the surface, above the anomaly, copper has been identified in rocks, while copper-in-soil anomalies have been identified where the soil sampling has been completed. When strongest portions of the anomaly are examined, two separate target areas are highlighted; a northern one sitting within a structural zone within the strongest magnetic signature at Nine Mile and a southern one which is close to the K6 copper bearing drill holes. The K6 discovery points to a fertile copper system and the spatially relationship to several recently outline gravity anomalies highlights the potential for discovery. The newly defined target area will be the focus for the additional exploration to take it to drill stage, as soon as the snow melts.”
