Zeus North American Mining Corp. 2025 Drilling and Exploration Planning at Cuddy Mountain, Idaho
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / March 11, 2025 / Zeus North America Mining Corp. (CSE:ZEUS)(OTCQB:ZUUZF)(FRANKFURT:O92) (the 'Company' or 'Zeus') announces the Company has commenced drilling and exploration planning for the 2025 exploration and development season at the Cuddy Mountain project in Idaho, less than 3 km to the north of the Hercules Metals high grade copper-gold-silver porphyry discovery announced in October 2023.
Highlights of the 2024 Exploration Program at Cuddy Mountain:
Staked 19 additional BLM Lode Claims to cover areas underlain by the Seven Devils Volcanics, which host the neighboring Leviathan Porphyry Copper mineralization.
Completed a property wide 3D-DCIP Induced Polarization ('IP') and Resistivity Survey using Dias Geophysical Ltd.
Conducted a property wide Ground Magnetic Survey totalling 105-line km of high- resolution magnetic data.
Collected 799 soil samples and 339 rock grab samples.
Completed a property wide mapping campaign. The mapped stratigraphy within the Cuddy Mountain Property demonstrates that the same stratigraphic section exists with the Property as that shown-on Hercules drill sections which intersected porphyry mineralization.
The Cuddy Mountain Property is adjacent to Hercules Metals Corp. ('Hercules') recently discovered Leviathan Copper Porphyry ($167M MC).* The discovery resulted in Major Mining Company Barrick injecting $23M in equity in to Hercules and staking a substantial land position in the district along with Major Mining Company Rio Tinto. The Cuddy Mountain Property consists of 101 lode mining claims respectively and cover a cumulative area of approximately 2020 acres.
On February 20th, 2025 Hercules summarized recent drilling at their Leviathan Copper Property. The Highlights of which were as follows:
HER-24-21 intersects 171m of 0.64% CuEq in volcanic host rock, within a broader intercept of 354m of 0.47% CuEq ending in a late porphyry.
Highest grades occur in volcanic host rocks.
New mapping and sampling demonstrate the host rocks transition to iron-rich volcanics and limestone in the Eastern Block and Southern Flats zones, conducive to significantly higher-grades.
See Hercules' Press Release Here Dated February 20th, 2025.
Furthermore, on March 4, 2025, Hercules showed their chargeability anomaly open to the northeast towards the Zeus Cuddy Mountain Property.

Lode Gold Closes Second Tranche of Private Placement for Total Financing of $1.2 Million to Initiate Work at the Fremont Mine in California
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 16, 2025) - Lode Gold Resources Inc. (TSXV: LOD) (OTCQB: LODFF) ("Lode Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has closed the second tranche of its non-brokered private placement offering. Proceeds will be used to advance work at the Fremont Mine in Mariposa, California. This is an advanced-stage exploration and development asset, where recently an NI 43 -101 compliant mineral resource estimate (MRE 2025) was completed with a new geological model that separates vein mineralization from stockwork: 1.34 Moz at 4.4 g/t (3 g/t cut off, average true width: 16.8 m).1 Table 1 To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Fremont was previously mined at 10.7 g/t. Only 8% of the total mineral resource, filed at SEDAR+ (April 2025) has been extracted, mostly in the first 250 m. This is a structurally controlled orogenic deposit with excellent continuity. Exploration upside exists as it is open at depth and on strike. Three step-out holes at 1,300 m hit structure and were mineralized. Upcoming 2025-2026 Catalysts: Rehabilitation of 2 km of the 23 km of underground workings Access to three of the adits, out of a total of 14 Channel sampling to upgrade resources to M&I Metallurgy and Recovery Studies Geotechnical work and rock mechanics assessments Underground drilling 3,000 m (to initiate Pre-Feasibility Study) Completion of Pre-Feasibility Study (underground bulk mining and other optimized methods will be evaluated) "We had a busy year. We completed corporate restructuring, a joint venture, the creation of a spin-co, and advanced all three of our assets in Yukon, New Brunswick and California. Over the past 12 months, we delivered three technical reports. At Fremont, two pivotal findings stand out: first, mineralization in the stockworks—outside the veins—remains completely untouched when mining was suspended during World War II (1942), when gold was just $35/oz. Second, at a 1 g/t cut-off, we see an impressive average true width of 53 meters," comments Wendy T. Chan, CEO and Director of Lode Gold. "The 2023 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) indicates positive project economics at a gold price of USD $1,750, based on an annual production rate of 130,000 ounces. In the coming months, we will begin engineering work aimed to develop an optimized mine plan. Our evaluation will focus on: high-grading in early years to optimize economics; increase to produce more than 100,000 ounces per year; and the initiation of small-scale production in the near term to align with the March 2025 Executive Order, which prioritizes critical mineral extraction in the United States." The Company has raised $390,802 through the issuance of 2,204,457 Units at a price of 18 cents per Unit. Each Unit shall consist of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of 35 cents per common share for a period of three years following the date of closing. The Company may accelerate the expiry date if the shares trade at 65 cents or more for a period of 10 days, including days where no trading occurs. The shares issued are subject to a four-month and one-day hold period. The Company closed the first tranche of $790,186 (4,389,922 Units) on April 15, 2025. The total amount raised was $1,180,988 (6,594,379 Units). About Lode Gold Lode Gold (TSXV: LOD) is an exploration and development company with projects in highly prospective and safe mining jurisdictions in Canada and the United States. In Canada, its assets in Yukon sits on the southern portion of the prolific Tombstone Belt. It covers 99.5 km2 across a 27 km strike. Over 4,500 m have been drilled with confirmed gold endowment and economic drill intercepts over 50 m. There are four reduced-intrusive targets (RIRGS), in addition to sedimentary-hosted orogenic exploration gold. In New Brunswick, Lode Gold, through its subsidiary 1475039 B.C. Ltd. (soon to be spun out into Gold Orogen) has created one of the largest land packages with its Acadian Gold Joint Venture, consisting of an area that spans 445 km2 with a 44 km strike. It has confirmed gold endowment with mineralized rhyolites. In preparation for the spin-out, NI 43 101 technical reports have been prepared for all assets in Yukon and New Brunswick in 2024. In the United States, the Company is focused on its advanced exploration and development asset, the Fremont Mine in Mariposa, California. According to the NI 43- 101 Compliant 2025 MRE, the asset contains 1.3 Moz at 4.4 g/t (3 g/t cut-off) with an average true width: 16.8 m. Fremont was previously mined at 10.7 g/t. During gold mining prohibition in WWII, its mining license was suspended. Only 8% of the resource identified in the 2025 MRE has been extracted. This asset has exploration upside and is open at depth (three step-out holes at 1,300 m hit structure and were mineralized) and on strike. This is a brownfield project with over 43,000 m drilled, 23 km of underground workings and 14 adits. The project has excellent infrastructure and is close to electricity, water, roads, railhead and port. Recently, the Company completed an internal scoping study, with a strategic pivot to 100% underground mining.
