FURTHER POSITIVE RC DRILLING RESULTS FROM THE SPLIT ROCKS GOLD PROJECT

  • Further assay results from phase one of the reverse circulation (RC) drill campaign at the Dulcie Laterite Pit target validate the concept of a broad scale gold mineralised shear zone target.

==> picture [6 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

  • The Company previously reported initial 4m composite assay results for the first 18 RC holes of the drill program (ZDRC026 to ZDRC043) on the 17[th] Dec 2020, from a total of 27 RC holes completed on 120m spaced sections. Drilling testing the upper portion of the drill target returned gold mineralisation in every hole, except one. Notable results previously reported include:

    • 4m @ 1.1 g/t Au and 4m @ 0.4 g/t Au
  • 4m @ 0.8 g/t Au

  • The large-scale gold bearing bedrock shear zone extends over 2km in strike and remains open down dip (at 30[0] ) with a thickness ranging from 4 to 40m (refer to Figures 3 - 5). The depth extent is yet to be fully defined.

  • Gold zones appear to also be locally stacked and open to the east, as well as down-dip to the west, requiring a second phase of RC drilling – this will commence early this year.

==> picture [6 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

  • These RC results compliment those previously reported from aircore drilling on the 2-Dec-20. These results included:

  • 14m @ 3.5 g/t Au

  • 4m @ 2.9 g/t Au

  • 4m @ 1.5 g/t Au

  • 1m @ 3.7 g/t Au & 1m @ 1.1g/t Au

  • 20m @ 0.7 g/t Au (eoh)

  • 12m @ 1.2 g/t Au

==> picture [5 x 6] intentionally omitted <==

  • Remaining 1m resamples will be submitted to the laboratory shortly. Follow-up drilling is anticipated to recommence upon receipt of all assay results and a refined interpretation of current available data. On ground activity including drilling is anticipated in early February.

==> picture [5 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

  • The Dulcie Laterite Pit is one of 3 high priority targets to being evaluated first at Split Rocks, the other two are Dulcie North with intersections of 32m @ 9.4 g/t Au, incl 9m @ 31.4 g/t Au and Dulcie Far North with an intersection of 5m @ 5.6 g/t Au. Permitting for follow-up drilling of these two areas is in progress.

==> picture [5 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

  • A further 8 of the originally 18 defined gold targets have yet to have first pass drill testing. This work will proceed in early 2021.

Commenting on the results announced Chairman Peter Bird said ” We have now validated the first of multiple targets in the Dulcie area with further drilling planned at Dulcie North and Dulcie Far North. The Dulcie area is the current focus for the Company, however another 8 targets are sited within 18km of prospective strike. The next stage at Dulcie is to try and identify some higher-grade zones and to consider some great depth extensions. This activity will follow immediately after we have completed our refined interpretation of the dataset we now have. The objective here is to define a broad scale open pit type resource. The current year is going to be very interesting at Split Rocks especially once we get the permits to drill Dulcie North and Dulcie Far North”

Split Rocks Project Background on Gold Potential

Zenith’s Split Rocks project is located within the Southern Cross region in the Forrestania greenstone belt, approximately halfway between Perth and Kalgoorlie. Several very large current and previously operated gold mines located north and south along strike from Zenith’s project area attest to the regional gold endowment of this area.

A major targeting exercise by the Company’s geological team initially identified 12 high-quality gold drill targets, subsequently expanded to 18 targets in the north eastern sector of the Company’s 100% owned Split Rocks project (Refer to ZNC ASX Release 2 September 2020).

Drilling to date has tested 10 targets with outstanding first pass results returned at:

  • Dulcie North: 32m @ 9.4 g/t Au, incl 9m @ 31.4 g/t Au with the highest individual 1m sample returning 199.2 g/t Au.

  • Dulcie Laterite Pit:

  • § 2m @ 14.5 g/t Au, incl. 1m @ 20.8 g/t Au,

  • § 18m @ 2.0 g/t Au (EOH) incl. 1m @ 23.7 g/t Au

  • § 14m @ 3.5 g/t Au &

  • § 2m @ 4.7 g/t Au incl. 1m @ 8.3 g/t Au

  • Estrela Prospect: 2m @ 9.8 g/t Au (open to north & south)

  • Dulcie Far North: 5m @ 5.6 g/t Au incl. 4m @ 6.8 g/t Au

Phase 2 follow-up drilling at Estrela provided sufficient encouragement to continue to test the identified structural target further along strike to the north with new results including 2m @ 0.4 g/t Au and 1m @ 0.6 g/t Au along strike from 2m @ 9.8 g/t Au and 3m @ 2.6 g/t Au. The mineralised structure at Estrela appears to be present over at least 200 metres of strike but is disrupted by numerous unmineralized pegmatites.

A further 8 of the 18 targets generated by Zenith extending over 18km of strike are yet to have first pass drill testing. Given recent positive ASX announcements, first pass testing of these additional targets will now be deferred whilst the Company concentrates its efforts on following up the significant near surface gold results at the 3 Dulcie targets, Dulcie Laterite Pit, Dulcie North & Dulcie Far North.

RC drilling at the Dulcie Laterite Pit is the subject of this ASX release, whilst permitting is now anticipated to be completed in January for a major follow-up drill campaign at Dulcie North and Dulcie Far North prospects.

About Zenith

Zenith has a vision to build a gold and base metals business with a team of proven project finders. Focus is on 100% owned Zenith projects, whilst partners progress multiple additional opportunities using third party funds.

Zenith is continuing to focus on its core Australian gold and copper projects including:

  • Red Mountain Gold Project in Queensland (100% owned) where ongoing drilling is following-up the highgrade near surface gold and silver intersected in the maiden drill program (ASX Releases 3 Aug 20 & 13 Oct 20), including:

  • 13m @ 8.0 g/t Au & 3.2 g/t Ag from surface, incl. 6m @ 16.7 g/t Au & 5.3g/t Ag

  • 15m @ 3.5 g/t Au, incl. 2m @ 22.4 g/t Au

  • Split Rocks Gold Project in Western Australia (100% owned), where recent drilling returned, high-grade near surface gold mineralisation at multiple targets (ASX Release 5 Aug 20, 19-Oct-20, 28-Oct-20), including:

  • Dulcie North: 32m @ 9.4 g/t Au, incl 9m @ 31.4 g/t Au with the highest individual 1m sample returning 199.2 g/t Au.

  • Dulcie Laterite Pit:

    • § 2m @ 14.5 g/t Au, incl. 1m @ 20.8 g/t Au,

    • § 18m @ 2.0 g/t Au (EOH) incl. 1m @ 23.7 g/t Au &

    • § 14m @ 3.5 g/t Au

  • Estrela Prospect: 2m @ 9.8 g/t Au (open to north & south)

  • Dulcie Far North: 5m @ 5.6 g/t Au incl. 4m @ 6.8 g/t Au

  • Develin Creek Copper-Zinc Project in Queensland (100% owned) – maiden drill test of the new Snook copper target located 30km south of Zenith’s JORC resources discovers massive sulphides.

  • Jackadgery Gold Project in New South Wales (option to earn initial 90%), historic trenching returned 160m @ 1.2 g/t Au. No drilling to date. Zenith planning maiden drill test (ASX Release 10 Sep 20).

Whether sample compositing has been
applied.
Drilling produced generally dry samples with excellent
recoveries, all 1m samples were cone split on site with
a subsequent 4m composite sample generated using a
riffle splitter to ensure a representative sample was
collected for assay
Orientation of

to geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of possible
structures and the extent to which this is
known, considering the deposit type.
The intersections in all drill holes are interpreted to be
close to true widths
If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if
material.

Zenith announced on the 21stMarch 2019 that it has a 2-
year option to explore for bedrock gold (any gold 6 metres
below surface) and lithium mineralisation on tenements
covering the operating Dulcie Heap Leach Gold Project
(DHLGO) in exchange for surface laterite gold rights on
Zenith’s adjoining exploration licence E77/2388.
Zenith may at its sole election exercise the option through
the payment of a 2% NSR royalty payable on any future
bedrock gold production from the DHLGO project area.
The project is located predominantly in vacant crown land.
The security of the tenure held at the time of
reporting along with any known impediments to
obtaining a licence to operate in the area.

Tenements are mining leases and prospecting leases,
current heap leach operation is active, no known
impediments to obtain a licence to operate.

Information
A summary of all information material to the understanding
of the exploration results including a tabulation of the
following information for all Material drill holes:
Refer to Figures 1 - 5 and Tables 1 & 2and descriptions in
body of text of this ASX release and to Figures 1,2 & 3 and
Table 1 and descriptions in body of text of ZNC ASX
Release 21 Oct 2019
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation
above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis
that the information is not Material and this exclusion does
not detract from the understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the
case.
Data aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging
techniques,
maximum
and/or
minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.
High-grade intersections are length weighted average
grades with minimum cut -off grade of 1.0g/t Au and no
internal dilution, whilst lower grade intersections are
length weighted average grades with minimum cut-off
grade of 0.4g/t Au and maximum internal dilution of 4m.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high-grade results and longer
lengths of low grade results, the procedure
used for such aggregation should be stated
and
some
typical
examples
of
such
aggregations should be shown in detail.
As above and included in Tables
Data aggregation

The assumptions used for any reporting of
metal equivalent values should be clearly
stated.
No metal equivalents used.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths
These relationships are particularly important
in the reporting of Exploration Results.
All Zenith drilling is angled -60 degrees east and based
on current interpretation is thought to be representing
true width thickness of the flat lying supergene or gentle
west dipping gold mineralised zones however further
drilling is required to confirm this interpretation.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.
As above
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths
are reported, there should be a clear statement
to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width
not known’).

Mineralised intervals reported are down-hole lengths but
are believed to be close to true thickness
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales)
and tabulations of intercepts should be
included for any significant discovery being
reported These should include, but not be
limited to a plan view of drill hole collar
locations and appropriate sectional views.
Refer to Figures 1 - 5 and Table 1 and 2 in body of text
of this ASX release and to Figures 1,2 & 3 and Table 1
and descriptions in body of text of ZNC ASX Release 21
Oct 2019 and those in ZNC ASX Release 5 Aug 2020 &
2 Sep 2020.
Balanced
reporting
Where
comprehensive
reporting
of
all
Exploration
Results
is
not
practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be practiced to
avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.
Refer to Figures 1 - 5 and Table 1 and 2 in body of text
of this ASX release.
Other substantive
exploration data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including (but not
limited
to):
geological
observations;
geophysical
survey
results;
geochemical
survey results; bulk samples – size and method
of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk
density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics;
potential
