Zonte Metals discovers a large gravity anomaly at the N Dunns target and expands the Dunns Mountain gravity anomaly on its Cross Hills Copper Project.
(TheNewswire)
May 29, 2025 – Dartmouth, Nova Scotia – TheNewswire – Zonte Metals Inc. (TSXV:ZON)(XOTC:EREPF) ispleased to report the discovery of a large gravity anomaly at the NDunns target and the extension of the Dunns Mountain gravity anomaly,on its Cross Hills Copper Project in Newfoundland andLabrador.
Highlights from gravity data results at N Dunns andDunns Mountain target:
The N Dunns gravity target measures 3300m, up to 650mwide and up to 1000m deep.
N Dunns gravity target is coincident withcopper-in-soils.
Dunns Mountain gravity anomaly has been extended northby 600m.
Terry Christopher, President and CEO, commented: “TheN Dunns gravity survey was completed over the previously identifiedmagnetic anomaly at N Dunns. The newly discovered gravity anomalymeasures 3300m along strike, up to 650m wide, up to 1000m thick and isopen along strike to the NW. The anomaly is spatially coincident withpreviously completed copper-in-soils over the area, and sits parallelto and crosscuts an interpreted large fault. The new survey data alsohas allowed additional processing of the previously collected DunnsMountain target gravity data. Most of the early drilling by theCompany was completed at Dunns Mountain, where values in drill core upto 14% Cu, 15.8 g/tr Au and 352 g/t Ag over 0.43m were recorded.Interpretation of the new processing of the Dunns Mountain gravitydata suggests that the anomaly extends much farther north thanpreviously known. Additional exploration, including additional gravityis required at both N Dunns and Dunns Mountain targets. ”
The N Dunns target was discovered during a helicoptermagnetic airborne survey (see press release dated Jan 19, 2021). Theanomaly has seen limited exploration since that time, except for afirst pass soil program and minimal prospecting. The 3D residualgravity processing, in the 0.3 – 0.6 g/cc range, identified a largeanomaly sitting approximately 100 below surface, measuring 3300m alongstrike, up to 650m wide, and is open in one direction along strike.The anomaly ranges from 650m to +1000m in thickness. While the targethas been subject to minimal exploration, a two-centimetre-wide quartzstringer vein, sitting at surface above the anomaly, contained tracechalcopyrite, malachite and azurite. Additional exploration programs,including prospecting, mapping, additional gravity and soils arerequired to fully evaluate this target.
With the additional gravity survey coverage from the2025 program, which extended close to the Dunns Mountain target, theCompany was able to re-process the gravity data from this target. The additional processing has expanded the previously known gravityanomaly to the north by 600m. Additional gravity data is required toclose off the anomaly, hence the exact size is not yet established.Dunns Mountain was the subject to most of the early drilling programs,where the Company intersected values in drill core up to 14.0% Cu,15.8 g/t Au and 352 g/t Ag over 0.43m. (see press release dated June3, 2019). Additional exploration is now required on the newlyidentified target extension.
Note that geophysical surveys are not definitive, andthe results are still at an early stage of interpretation, with noguarantee of a mineral discovery.
