Summary
==> picture [154 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
Outstanding gold & lithium portfolio in Australia & USA New Rare Earths (REE) Project – Wyoming USA Significant current & upcoming exploration activity focussed on;
-
High-grade gold at Split Rocks – returned up to 10m @ 2.20g/t Au (incl 6m @ 3.32 g/t Au) and 5m @ 3.23 g/t Au[1] over 4km strike, plus lithium target definition
-
First pass grab sampling up to 0.60% TREO over very large area and composite sampling to 80m @ 0.40% TREO at Laramie REE Project Wyoming[2]
-
Advancing QLD gold target to drill status, awaiting infill sampling results
-
External funding for several projects spreads risk and increases exposure to success, drilling of two partnered projects before end of year

Disclaimer & JORC Statements
Forward looking statements
Some statements in this presentation regarding estimates or future events are forward looking statements. They involve risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from estimated results. Forward-looking statements include estimates of future production, reserve and mineralised material estimates, capital costs, and other estimates or prediction of future activities. They include statements preceded by words such as "believe", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "will" and similar expressions. Actual results could differ materially depending on such things as political events, labour relations, currency fluctuations and other general economic conditions, market prices for Zenith Minerals Limited products, timing of permits and other government approvals and requirements, change in operating conditions, lower than expected ore grades, unexpected ground and mining conditions, availability and cost of materials and equipment, and risks generally inherent in the ownership and operation of mining properties and investment in foreign countries.
Information presented is a summary
This presentation aims to provide a high level summary of various technical aspects of the Company's projects. For more details on the underlying technical parameters the reader is referred to the ASX Reports on the Zenith Minerals Limited’s website: www.zenithminerals.com.au
