[{"type":"text","content":"Zonte Metals Discovers Two Gravity Anomalies at the K9 Target; with One Anomaly Coincident with the Highest Copper in Soil Value from the Project\n \n \n (TheNewswire)\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n TheNewswire - April 18, 2023 - Zonte\nMetals (TSXV:ZON)\n \n \n is pleased to announce the\ndiscovery of two gravity anomalies at the K9 target, on its Cross\nHills Copper project in Newfoundland, each anomaly spatially\ncoincident with a magnetic anomaly, and elevated copper in rocks and\nsoils.\n \n \n \n \n “The recently completed gravity survey identified two\nanomalies at the K9 target. Previous exploration over the target area\nby Zonte identified a magnetic anomaly coincident with significant\nalteration, sitting in a structural corridor with elevated copper in\nrocks and soils. Throughout the Cross Hills Copper project the Company\nhas completed over 1000 MMI soil samples, with the K9 target having\nthe majority of the highest values. The single highest copper-in-soil\nsample sits above one of the newly discovered gravity anomalies,\nmaking it a high priority target. The Company will complete a detailed\ninfill and expanded soil sampling program to define the highest\npriority areas for initial drilling.”\n \n \n \n \n The two gravity anomalies discovered at the K9 target\nsit partially adjacent and overlapping the magnetic anomaly. The\nsoutheast gravity anomaly measures about 800 by 500m and open to the\nsouth. The northwest gravity anomaly is an elongated anomaly measures\nover 1000m along strike and up to 300m wide. Each anomaly is\ncoincident and spatially associated with elevated copper in rocks and\nsoils. The Company has completed over 1000 MMI soil samples project\nwide with the K9 target containing the highest concentration of the\nelevated copper. Notably, the highest copper-in-soil value corresponds\nto the new southeast gravity anomaly.\n \n \n Previously, exploration over the K9 target identified bedrock\nmineralization returning up to 1.76% copper. Mineralization through\nthe target area is characterized by bornite, chalcopyrite and\nchalcocite associated with hematite and magnetite. Pyrite is commonly\nassociated with the copper mineralization and halos the target area.\nSee image below and for more information on the target and the Cross\nHills Copper Project please visit\nhtt...
