property, firstly there is a very extensive mineralised zone extending for at
least 2 kilometres and down to approximately 140 metres in depth at the Dulcie Laterite Pit shear zone area,”Chairman Peter Bird said.

“Secondly this is now supported by some great new drill results to the north (Dulcie North) and to the west (Water Bore area),” he added.

Zenith is now in progress of planning an additional follow-up drilling and is attempting to secure an aircore rig.

“Drilling activity is set to continue on this property, and we feel optimistic that we will now be able to develop a resource,” Peter told the market.

On the market this afternoon, Zenith is up 12.5 per cent and is trading at 13.5 cents per share at 1:45pm AEDT.
