Zonte Metals Inc. said June 12 that it has discovered a new target 150 meters from the Two-Four zone at the McConnells Jest gold project in Canada's Yukon Territory.

The new prospect, dubbed the Hill Zone, is about 400 meters by 400 meters and was identified by gold in bedrock assays of up to 31.3 g/t of gold.

The company, which acquired the property in November 2016, said the target will be included in an upcoming drill program in July.
