(TSXV: ZON) (the \"Company\" or \"Zonte\") is pleased to announce the first results from its 2017 McConnell's Jest exploration program which includes outcrop sampling in the Two-Four Zone; one of five previously identified targets zones of mineralization at Zonte's McConnells Jest Property in the Yukon Territory. Highlights include:\n\n\nExtensive quartz-arsenopyrite-scorodite vein system with high frequencies throughout the target area\nAn approximate target size of 350 by 250 metres (m) and open in two directions\nIndividual grab sample assay values up to 20.6 grams per tonne (g/t) Au\nA drill-ready target for 2017\nThe Two-Four Zone was initially discovered in 2016 in a 10 m exposed cliff face where quartz-arsenopyrite-scorodite veins were concentrated at frequencies of up to one vein per metre, which is considered high for Intrusion Related Gold Systems (IRGS). Initial gold assay values from the discovery zone where up to 41.9 g/t Au and included 41.9, 33.0, 9.8, 8.0, 4.2, 0.34, 5.7 and 0.25 g/t Au. The presence of gold in the Two-Four Zone was not limited to quartz-scorodite veins, as gold was also hosted by quartz veins and altered granodiorite zones returning 33.0 g/t from the altered zone sampled.\n\nThe 2017 program at the Two-Four target focused on sampling outward from the 2016 discovery showing. The 2017 sampling program identified a target area of 350 by 250 m, which remains open in two directions. Gold assays returned values up to 20.6 g/t Au and included 17 samples ranging 5-20.6 g/t, 12 sampling ranging 1-5 g/t, 4 samples ranging 0.25-1 g/t and 15 samples ranging 0-0.25 g/t Au. As with the discovery outcrop of the Two-Four Zone, quartz-arsenopyrite-scorodite veins were present in higher than normal frequencies for IRGS-type deposits. Sampling was...
