Zonte Metals Inc. (TSXV:ZON)(XOTC:EREPF) (“Zonte” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the commencement of  a gravity survey over the Nine Mile target.

The Nine Mile target was identified from an airborne magnetic survey conducted in 2019. The magnetic anomaly is the largest within the project and sits in a structurally attractive zone. Previously completed exploration work over the target identified copper-in-rocks and areas with copper-in-soil anomalies. Depending on field conditions, the company will complete a supplementary gravity survey over the southern portion of the Big K anomaly. The Big K anomaly was extended southward in 2024 based on results of an additional soil geochemical survey program.  

A map illustrating the Nine Mile target and other targets on the Cross Hills Copper Project is inserted below.
