VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / April 24, 2025 / ZEUS NORTH AMERICA MINING CORP. (CSE:ZEUS)(OTCQB:ZUUZF)(FRANKFURT:O92) (THE "COMPANY" OR "ZEUS") is pleased to announce high-grade rock grab samples at it's Great Western Property (the "Property" or "Great Western") in Idaho. The Property is located approximately 1.5 hours northwest from Idaho Falls, ID and is road accessible. It consists of 38 lode mining claims within Butte County, Idaho.

About the Great Western Property:

  • The Property is located along the southern end of the Lemhi Range;

  • Rocks in the Great Western area include Precambrian-age phyllites which are overlain by Ordovician-age quartzites and dolomitic quartzite;

  • Mineralization is structurally controlled at the Property and is found along shear zones and bedding plane faults;

  • The mineralization at the Property is consider to be a carbonate replacement deposit ("CRD") style. The Santa Eulalia Mining District in Mexico hosts the world's largest known CRD system being mined today;

  • A number of past producing small scale mines exist throughout the area, including the Great Western, Lookout and Wilbert mines;

  • In 2021, APEX Geoscience Ltd., Edmonton, Alberta conducted a rock grab sampling program for 1273180 B.C. Ltd. (acquired by Zeus, see Zeus news release dated February 12, 2024). Rock samples consisting of 68 Composite and Grab samples from historical prospects and mines on the Property were collected;

  • Results for rock grab samples collected in 2021 include:

    • Five samples with up to 7300 grams per tonne silver ("g/t Ag");

    • Six rock grab samples contain great than 0.61 percent copper ("% Cu") up to 4.25% Cu.

    • A historical, non-compliant 43-101resource of 4,900 indicated tons averaging 1.7 oz/t Ag, 3.6% Pb, and 0.5% Cu (McHugh et al., 1991)* exists for the Great Western mine (adjacent to but not owned by Zeus).

Recent rock grab samples by Zeus:

More recently Zeus collected 11 rock grab samples. Results include:

  • 6 samples with greater than 97 g/t Ag including samples up to 1155 g/t Ag; 4 samples with greater than 0.17% Cu including samples up to 0.52% Cu.

Based on past and current sampling, Zeus is planning a follow-up ground geophysical program during 2025 to determine if the surface mineralization is sourced from a buried igneous/porphyry source.

Dean Besserer, President and CEO, stated, "The Great Western Property hasn't seen any modern day exploration since the industries understanding of carbonate replacement deposits has vastly improved. The chance to discovery a previous unrecognized igneous source at depth needs to be tested based on the high-grade nature of the surface samples and historical mining throughout the area".
