  • Diamond drilling will commence in mid-November, following completion of the maiden drill program at the Snook copper prospect an exciting new target at the Company’s Develin Creek VMS copper-zinc project located near Rockhampton in Queensland.

Significance of these new assay results

Ongoing exploration activity at the 100% owned Red Mountain gold project located in Queensland (Figure 1) is continuing to provide highly encouraging drill assay results. Drilling to date has outlined a discrete sub-vertical high-grade gold zone (Western Zone) to a vertical depth of 100m, with the zone remaining open and the subject of ongoing drill testing (see Figures 2 -4).

These new 1m resample assay results confirm and upgrade previously reported intersections that were initially sampled as 4m composite intervals. The new results include 5m @ 10.4 g/t Au including 1m @ 49.9 g/t Au from hole ZRMRC023 and 12m @ 4.9 g/t Au including 6m @ 9.4 g/t Au (incl 1m @ 25.0 g/t Au & 1m @ 12.0 g/t Au) from drill hole ZRMRC021, both intersections remain open, clearly demonstrating the potential for the high-grade zone to continue at depth (refer to Table 1 for a complete listing of both new and previous Zenith gold results). The 1m resamples use a more robust sampling method and assay results from these samples are therefore considered of higher quality than the original 4m composite samples.

New silver assay results from drill holes ZRMRC011 to ZRMRC024 show strong silver values associated with the gold mineralised intervals and have the potential to add further value to the Project. The results included 7m @ 2.6 g/t Au and 11.0 g/t Ag and 6m @ 1.7 g/t Au and 13.2 g/t Ag (refer to Table 1 for a complete listing of silver results).

Assay results from the eastern zone of the breccia pipe show some early encouragement with new results including 4m @ 0.5 g/t Au, 1m @ 0.7 g/t Au and 1m @ 0.9 g/t Au (refer to Table 1).

Infill Soil Sampling at the Project

Infill and extensional soil sampling was recently completed to close off, and provide further definition of, gold soil geochemical anomalies surrounding the Red Mountain breccia pipe. New surface soil assay results of up to 3.3g/t Au located 600m north of the Western Zone have now been defined. This is an exciting development and highlights the potential for additional gold targets in the Project area. The 3.3g/t soil sampling assay result is on the end of a geochemical sampling line meaning that the result is currently open ended. Since this time follow up soil sampling has been completed and results are awaited.

CEO COMMENTS

Commenting on the Red Mountain gold project results, Executive Charman Peter Bird said “. As we continue to undertake further work at Red Mountain positive news continues to flow from both drilling assays and surface sampling activities. The new 1m resample drilling results that we are reporting herein have thrown up some very positive surprises with high-grade gold now identified in adjacent drill holes 21 and 23. These intervals may or may not be connected, but are clearly open at depth increasing the size of the high grade gold target zone that we will be following up. This geological region located in Queensland (see Figure 1) has a high level of gold endowment with a number of high-quality deposits having been bought into commercial production. The Red Mountain Project forms an important part of our value-based strategy!

Our team are now drilling at the Snook copper target, which is part of the Develin Creek copper-zinc VMS project located nearby in Queensland and will shortly return the drill rig to Red Mountain to continue work on these exciting high-grade gold results with diamond drilling being a key priority.”

Red Mountain - Drill Program Rationale

Results from drilling to date at the Red Mountain Gold Project outline a zone of high-grade near surface gold mineralisation in a steep easterly dipping zone hosted by altered granitoid rocks, on the western margin of a sub-vertical felsic volcanic breccia pipe. The project is in south east Queensland, lying about halfway between two gold mines Cracow (ASX:AUR) and Mount Rawdon (ASX:EVN) (Figure 1).

Mineralisation at Red Mountain is considered by Zenith to be analogous to known gold deposits in Queensland. Evidence includes a zoned system with geochemistry like that documented at third party owned Queensland gold deposits such as Mt Wright which is located 65km east of Charters Towers and the nearby Mount Rawdon Gold Mine. The Mt Wright gold deposit was exploited by Resolute Mining Limited as an underground operation, with mineralisation having a strike length of only 200m but vertical extent of over 1.2km.

The current drill program has focus on the western part of the prospect area (Figures 2 & 3). This area is part of a larger total target zone extending some 2.2 km around the rim of the breccia pipe (Figure 4).

For further background on the Red Mountain project refer to recent ASX releases by the Company on the 22[nd] Jul 2020, 3[rd] Aug 2020, 24[th] Aug 2020 and 9[th] & 21[st] & 28[th] Sep 2020 & 13[th] Oct 2020).

Details of New Results

Sampling from the current drill campaign was completed on a routine 4m composite basis with selected 1m sampling based on visual estimates of alteration, sulphides and other geological criteria. Assaying of 1m samples for gold mineralised 4m composites will now be completed. Results for the initial 4m samples for all holes are included. Mineralised composite samples will now be resubmitted for a few outstanding 4m intervals at 1m samples for analysis of gold and silver.

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. High-grade silver with low gold reported above 30 g/t Ag cut-off grade.

Mineralised envelopes for holes ZRMRC20-22 reported on page 1 of the 28[th] September 2020 report are length weighted average grades with minimum cut-off grade of 0.2g/t Au and maximum internal dilution of 14m. Note a transcription error was made in reporting the interval for ZRMRC021 previously reported as 108m @ 1.1 g/t Au. That intersection is incorrect and should have been reported as 68m @ 1.1g/t Au. All other results were correctly stated.

Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels, random chips, or specific
specialised
industry
standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
down hole gamma sondes, or handheld
XRF instruments, etc.). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the broad
meaning of sampling.
Assays received for 35 reverse circulation drill holes.
Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate
calibration
of
any
measurement tools or systems used.
1m drill samples collected via a cyclone were split
through riffle splitter. Routine sampling on 4m
composites via spear sampling of the 1m riffle split
samples. Selected 1m intervals were assayed as 1m
samples based on visual logging of alteration and
sulphide content.
Aspects
of
the
determination
of
mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report. In cases where ‘industry
standard’ work has been done this would
be
relatively
simple
(e.g.
‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which 3 kg was pulverised
to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’).
In other cases more explanation may be
required, such as where there is coarse
gold
that
has
inherent
sampling
problems.
Unusual
commodities
or
mineralisation types (e.g. submarine
nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
Reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m to
4m samples from which 2 to 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30 g charge for fire assay
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,
auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details
(e.g. core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core
is oriented and if so, by what method,
_etc.). _
Reverse circulation
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core
and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.
Drill chips were sieved and logged by a qualified
geologist on site, data recorded in field on paper logs
and transferred to digital database
Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.
Drilling produced generally dry samples with excellent
recoveries, all 1m samples were riffle split on site and
selected interval were 4m composite sampled using a
spear from the 1m riffle splits to ensure a representative
sample was collected for assay

sample recovery and grade and whether
sample bias may have occurred due to
preferential

AES.
Quality control procedures adopted for all
sub-sampling
stages

maximise
representivity of samples.
~2 to 3kg of drill sample was crushed and pulverised
and a sub-sample was taken in the laboratory and
analysed.

The nature, quality and appropriateness
of
the
assaying
and
laboratory
procedures used and
whether the
technique is considered partial or total.
The samples were crushed and assayed for gold using
fire assay, which is considered a near total technique

Whether
the
data

and
distribution is sufficient to establish the
degree of geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral Resource and
Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s)
and classifications applied.
The data alone will not be used to estimate mineral
resource or ore reserve
Whether sample compositing has been
applied.
Results are reported as length weighted average
composites at a minimum cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t Au or
if silver only 30g/t Ag (refer to Table 1). Over range
>100g/tAgre-assayed using a4acid digestICP-AES.
Orientation of
data in relation
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.
Orientation of mineralisation is unsure at this stage and
therefore true widths are uncertain, however drill holes
were designed and orientated to intersect geological
contacts, mapped veins and structures and IP
geophysical chargeability anomalies normal to strike
and therefore are more likely than not to represent near
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.
As above
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample
security.
Samples were kept in numbered and secured bags until
delivered to the laboratory
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.

of
exploration by other parties.
South Pine Mines Pty Ltd undertook regional scale
reconnaissance rock chip sampling and a systematic
stream sediment sampling program focused around
the Rossmore silver occurrence from 1981 to 1982.
Several companies held the ground in the following
decades focusing on the porphyry copper /
epithermal potential of the area with Archer
Resources Limited the only company to have
reported on ground exploration activity on the area
of interest being reported herewith by Zenith.
Anomalous silver and gold in soils was reported by
Archer Resources Limited which has subsequently
been confirmed by Zenith.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
Based on the initial site visit and preliminary
evidence the geological setting and geochemical
association at Red Mountain is indicative of an
epizonal intrusion related gold deposit like the Mt
Rawdongold mine.
Drill hole
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 Tables 1 & 2
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.
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.
No high-grade cutting
Data
aggregation
methods
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.
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.

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.
Refer below
If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.
The intersections except holes ZRMRC005 & 006
are down hole lengths. The orientation of
mineralisation is interpreted as steep easterly
dipping.
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’). _
As above
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 descriptions and diagrams in body of text
of this report and cross sections provided in ASX
Release 24th August 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 descriptions and diagrams in body of text
Other
substantive
exploration data
