(TSXV:ZON) (XOTC:EREPF) is pleased to report the extension of the gravity anomaly at the Big K target on its Cross Hills Copper Project in Newfoundland and Labrador marking the seventh large-scale anomaly discovered by the company Discovery of two gravity anomalies within the target The largest gravity anomaly measures 1400 x 600m and 840m deep a bedrock copper showing returned 2.82% Cu and 10 g/t Ag Gravity anomalies are coincident with copper-in-soil anomalies which covered the southern extension of the previously discovered Big K target identified two closely spaced anomalies extending over a 2.2 km strike length located approximately 40 to 60 meters below the surface coincide with Cu-in-soil anomalies and known bedrock copper mineralization was found at the surface above the gravity targets It is postulated that this surface copper mineralization was pushed up through the capping rock from a deeper source The strong correlation across all exploration techniques highlights the high-priority nature of this target.” The northern portion of the Big K target was previously defined through gravity and copper in bedrock and Cu-in-soil anomalies Earlier work identified a drill-ready target approximately 1,500 meters long additional soil sampling in 2024 extended the original soil anomaly further south (August 7 The recent gravity survey was conducted over this newly identified southern extension Results from the 2025 gravity survey identified two closely spaced gravity anomalies within a 2.2 km strike length The larger anomaly measures 1,400 by 650 meters and extends to a depth of up to 840 meters has a generally spherical shape with a diameter of 650 meters Both anomalies lie between 40 and 60 meters below the surface the anomalies become one when the 3D residual gravity is processed at 0.50 g/cc A previously discovered high-grade bedrock copper showing This showing consists of a chalcocite vein cutting through a capping granite and is believed to have resulted from a fluid injection possibly linked to the gravity anomalies below ranging from 2 to 8cm in width and 1.5m in length before merging into granite the grab sample may not accurately represent the true underlying mineralization The Company has conducted numerous geophysical and geochemical programs over the target area Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) and Soil Gas Hydrocarbon (SGH) soil sampling programs have been completed both of which identified Cu-in-soil anomalies coinciding with the gravity signatures The very southern portion of the target area has not been covered with SGH sampling The Company may complete further sampling to bring this target to drill-ready stage Imagery for the new gravity discovery is exhibited below.

LEARN MORE has made a notable discovery at its Cross Hills Copper Project in Newfoundland and Labrador strong gravity anomaly at the Nine Mile target that could signal substantial mineral potential The newly identified gravity anomaly measures up to 3,700 metres in length the anomaly presents intriguing characteristics that suggest potential for mineral pathways and mineralization According to company President and CEO Terry Christopher the anomaly’s positioning at a flexure in the Cross Hills fault and intersection with multiple fault sets creates a potential conduit for fluid movement Surface exploration has already identified copper in rocks and copper-in-soil anomalies in the area which covered an area of 4.8 by 4.5 kilometers utilized 3D inversion processing to analyze the anomaly Two primary target areas emerged from the analysis: a northern zone within a strong magnetic signature and a southern zone near previously identified copper-bearing drill holes The discovery builds upon previous exploration efforts including a 2020 helicopter magnetic survey that initially identified the largest magnetic anomaly on the project The spatial relationship between the new gravity anomaly and the K6 copper-bearing drill holes further enhances the site’s exploration potential Zonte Metals plans to conduct additional sampling and mapping in the newly defined target area with exploration efforts set to commence as soon as snow conditions permit The company’s systematic approach to geological exploration continues to yield promising results in the Cross Hills Copper Project © Copyright 2012 - 2023 | citybuzz | All Rights Reserved (877) 456 6241 A birds' eye view of a previous Cross Hills Gardens Country Fair Cross Hills Gardens owners Angela Wilson and her husband Scott will this month open the gates to their private gardens for the annual Cross Hills Gardens Country Fair The gardens make the perfect setting for a day of shopping and fun “Set in 18 acres (7.2 hectares] of the most beautiful private gardens you’ll find a record number of artists growers and all-around clever people who have travelled from all corners of the North Island… to showcase their products.” is part of the Wilson’s multi-generational sheep and beef farm “The property was first purchased by Scott’s grandfather in 1938 He married Merle and they started creating the garden Scott’s parents Rodney and Faith Wilson then ran the property further developing the garden and nursery business Now Scott and I are the caretakers with our boys Wilson had the idea to host a country fair at the property after she and Scott had their first son “He was born in November when the garden was in flower and I would walk him through the garden sometimes overwhelmed with the size and work that goes into maintaining a garden of this size I decided we needed to use it for another purpose So I arrived back at the house and said to Scott ‘I think I’m going to organise a fair next year,’ and off I went Safe to say I had a wonderful venue to start with.” The event has grown in popularity over that time “Our first fair was in 2009 and we had 70 stalls and 1200 people come We now have over 200 stalls and get between 5000 and 6000 people attending.” Wilson said the country fair offered shoppers a curated experience “A lot of time and energy goes into creating a wonderful day of shopping local musicians are picked to create a relaxing vibe and we have lots of high-quality food trucks.” As well as getting some early Christmas shopping done Angela said the day was the perfect opportunity to see the gardens’ collection of rhododendrons “Cross Hills Gardens is also a nursery where you will find one of the biggest selections of Rhododendrons and Azaleas in New Zealand People can come and park up for the weekend and attend the fair while getting the most amazing view of our beautiful countryside,” she said There have now been three men charged with murder.
