The program consisted of five holes totaling  1421 metres, which was an increase from the initial four-hole, 1000 metre program. The initial drill program was designed to test various geophysical and geochemical variables in the data set associated with known surface mineralization. All samples have been submitted to the laboratory for analysis and results will be reported once received. \nIn anticipation of Phase 2 drilling at the Dunns Mountain target, the company has submitted exploration permit applications to the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources for additional geophysical surveys, which will be carried out prior to the next phase of drilling. Work will commence immediately upon permit approvals.\nQualified Person\nDean Fraser, P.Geo. is the qualified person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the contents and technical disclosures in this press release.\nAbout Zonte\nZonte Metals Inc. is a junior explorer focused on gold and copper.
