The initial two years of\nexploration and drilling focused on magnetic and gravity geophysical\nhighs. The revised exploration program over the last three years was\ndesigned to better identify geological, geophysical and geochemical\nsignatures that could represent sites where copper mineralization is\npresent. K6, which is the smallest known target, is one of the 11\ntargets the Company has discovered throughout the Cross Hills Copper\nproject and a discovery on any one of these targets could point to a\nnew copper belt in Canada.”\n \n \n \n \n Zonte acquired the Cross Hills Copper Project in late\n2017 based on the strong hydrothermal system present within the\nproject. Known copper mineralization at the time was limited to\nseveral copper showings. The Company’s initial two years of\nexploration was focused on exploring and drilling geophysical highs.\nCopper was discovered throughout the drilling programs with some of\nthe better drill intersected mineralization sitting peripheral to the\ngeophysical anomalies. As an example, CH-19-04, intersected a number\nof isolated copper zones, including a narrow high-grade interval of\n14% Cu over 0.43m, while other drill holes returned low grades of\nmixed disseminated sulphides containing copper and spaced\nfractured-controlled copper mineralization over long intervals (see\npress releases dated April 23, 2019, March 3, 2020 and November 24,\n2020).\n \n \n \n \n With the success of the initial drilling, which was\nbased on limited exploration, the Company recognized a fertile copper\nsystem that required additional examination. The last three years of\nsurface exploration have provided a comprehensive dataset that...
