Zenith Minerals Limited (“Zenith” or “the Company”) has previously announced (ASX Release 7 th March 2017) a funding deal with Bradda Head Ltd, a private company controlled by prominent UK investor Jim Mellon, to jointly unlock the potential of Zenith’s USA and Mexican lithium project portfolio. Zenith is now pleased to advise that field programs in Mexico funded by Bradda Head are underway, and the JV will shortly start lithium exploration activities in Arizona and Nevada. Initial activities on the projects include:  Infill surface geochemical sampling of three lithium targets at Zacatecas in Mexico, with samples now collected and dispatched for analysis;  An electrical geophysical survey at the Wilson Salt Flat lithium brine project in Nevada to determine the presence of brine and its depth, as a prerequisite to drill testing;  Electrical geophysical surveys at San Vicente and San Juan lithium brine projects at Zacatecas in Mexico, as prerequisites to drill testing, along with preparation for drilling, including community and landholder liaison;  Ongoing sighter metallurgical testwork at Burro Creek lithium clay project in Arizona, which has shown encouraging initial results. Further more definitive work is in progress to determine the options for the extraction of lithium & potassium; and  Burro Creek state lease permitting for trenching & drilling and associated state lease renewal – as prerequisites to planned trenching & resource drilling.
