American Marconi Wireless News - Zeus North America Mining Corp. Defines High-Priority Drill Targets at Cuddy Mountain

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / April 1, 2025 / ZEUS NORTH AMERICA MINING CORP. (CSE:ZEUS)(OTCQB:ZUUZF)(FRANKFURT:O92) (THE "COMPANY" OR "ZEUS") is pleased to announce high-priority drill targets at Cuddy Mountain (the "Project" or "Cuddy Mountain") in Idaho. Cuddy Mountain is located approximately 3 kilometres ("km") to the northeast of Hercules Metals Corp.'s high-grade "Hercules" copper-moly-silver Leviathan porphyry discovery announced in October 2023.

Highlights of the High-Priority Drill Targets at Cuddy Mountain:
Zeus is permitting 5 spatially separate drill pads at Cuddy Mountain. The drill pads are designed to test the strongest portion of the coincidental anomalies. The results highlight the potential for both skarn and porphyry copper mineralization across the mapped prospective Seven Devils Volcanics. More specifically the coincidental anomalies consist of:

• Broad, continuous zones of moderate to strong chargeability, (>20ms up to 60ms) trending NE-SW, indicative of extensive sulphide mineralization potential. The top of the chargeability anomaly is approximately 100-150 metres depth from the planned drill collars;

• Magnetic highs which could indicate potassic core of a porphyry system or adjacent magnetic lows reflecting alteration halos;

• Magnetic highs occurring adjacent to and beneath the chargeability feature highlight a prominent interface along the Columbia River Flood Basalts paralleling with the chargeable body. Integration of these overlapping geophysical signatures helps outline the compelling exploration target for skarn and/or porphyry copper mineralization within the Cuddy Mountain Property;

• Coincidental rock grab samples:

  • 35 samples contain 0.1 percent ("%") copper ("Cu") or more; 16 samples contain greater than 1.1 % Cu, up to and including 3.8% Cu;

  • 29 samples contain 10 grams per tonne silver ("g/t Ag") or more; 9 samples contain more than 129 g/t Ag, with values up to and including 307 g/t Ag;

  • 26 samples contain 10 g/t molybdenum ("Mo") or more; 5 samples contain more than 40 g/t Mo, with values up to and including 182 g/t Mo (with 0.37g/t Au).

• Soils delineate a broad 3 kilometer ("km") by 3 km copper Cu and molybdenum Mo in soil circular anomaly underlain by the Seven Devils Volcanics (~741 acres):

  • The newly identified copper-molybdenum soil anomaly contains individual soil samples up to 0.38% copper and 28.5 parts per million ("ppm") molybdenum (31 samples contain 212 ppm Cu or more; 5 samples contain percent level copper up to and including 0.38% Cu; 116 samples contain 2 ppm Mo or more; 6 samples contain more than 10 ppm Mo, with values up to and including 28.5 ppm Mo).

Dean Besserer, President and CEO, stated, "This coincidental set of anomalies in conjunction with the March, 2025 Executive Order to accelerate critical mineral production, including copper, in the USA, make Cuddy mountain more compelling than ever. These anomalies form the basis of our high-priority drill targets and/or drill pads which have similarities to the neighboring Leviathan porphyry discovery".

About the Cuddy Mountain Copper Property (Idaho, USA)
The Cuddy Mountain Property is adjacent to Hercules Metals Corp.'s recently discovered Leviathan Copper Porphyry (Cnd$167Million Market Capitalization).* The discovery resulted in Barrick injecting Cnd$23Million in equity while staking a substantial land position in the district along with Rio Tinto. The Cuddy Mountain Property consists of 101 lode mining claims respectively and cover a cumulative area of approximately 2020 acres.

Historical Drilling at Cuddy Mountain consisted of 7 shallow drill holes in 1977 intersecting anomalous lead and silver. Drill hole Mun 8 contained 90 feet of 2.02 ounces per tonne ("oz/t") Ag (Taylor, 1977). Further historical exploration on Zeus's Cuddy Mountain Project occurred at the Edna May Mine: Mineralized vein with chip samples containing 750 ppm lead ("Pb"), 7.7% zinc ("Zn") and 252 ppm Ag over 4 feet. Underground drilling in 1979 intersected 1.38 oz/t Ag over 7 feet in a breccia zone (Burmeister, 1980). Additional exploration (By Taylor, 1977) at the Rockslide area encountered Malachite-stained outcrops with a grab sample containing 760 ppm Pb, 0.67 % Zn and 36 grams per tonne Silver (Taylor, 1977).
