Zonte Metals Provides Corporate Update

TSXV: ZON

BEDFORD, NS, March 4, 2013 /CNW/ - Zonte Metals Inc or the "Company" is pleased to provide the following update.

During the fall of 2012, a 52 line kilometer induced polarization geophysical survey was carried out on the Wings Point Gold Project, located approximately 30 kilometers north of Gander, Newfoundland. The survey was carried out over eight grids, seven of which were new target areas selected based on a combination of historic and Zonte's sampling results. At the eighth grid area, the Pit Target where the company has previously identified coincident geophysical anomalies with coincident rock and soil anomalies, a number of infill lines were completed. Interpretation of the geophysical survey is in progress and the results will be released when received.

The Company has amended the terms of the Wings Point South property option agreement and will issue the vendors common stock, at a par value of $0.075 per common share, in lieu of the $7,500 cash payment due in March 2013.

The Company has been actively seeking additional projects for acquisition over this past year and has actively reviewed projects in a number of well-known gold districts. The Company has narrowed down its focus area to Colombia and has been actively completing due diligence on several projects of interest.  The Company will provide additional updates when and if property acquisitions are completed.
