Zenyatta Ventures Intersects Widest Zone To Date of GRAPHITE Mineralization in 1st Drill Hole

Marketwired Canada
Zenyatta Ventures Ltd. ("Zenyatta" or "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ZEN) is pleased to
announce a drilling update on the 100% owned Albany (Hydrothermal) Graphite
Deposit, located in northeastern Ontario, Canada.
The first drill hole (Z13-4F10) intersected 363 metres ('m') of graphite
mineralization from 47.0 m to 410.0 m. This represents the widest zone of
graphite material intersected to date on the Albany deposit. The hole, which was
drilled at a 180 azimuth and -65 dip, was designed to test between previously
drilled holes 5 and 9. From surface to 41.0 m hole 10 intersected overburden and
from 41.0m to 47.0 m intersected Paleozoic limestone. Graphitic overprinting was
encountered from 47.0 m to 87.0 m, while the strongest graphitic mineralization
was intersected from 87.0 m to 410.0 m. Drilling shows different types of
graphite mineralization consisting of clasts of graphite vein material,
disseminated graphite matrix and discrete graphite veins / veinlets as part of a
large breccia pipe. Geometry and true width of the graphite breccia pipe is
difficult to determine at this point and will require much more drilling. Photos
will be placed on the website today approximately 2hrs after this news. Graphite
analyses for the first drill hole are expected within the next 2-3 weeks.
The Company will continue to define the size and grade of this rare, 'vein-type'
or hydrothermal-style graphite deposit. The goal of the current program will be
to expand on a 2012 drilling campaign that intersected a large mineralized zone
of graphitic breccia and veining from widely spaced drill holes. This previous
nine (9) hole drill program succeeded in establishing widespread graphite
mineralization laterally for several hundred metres and to a vertical depth of
400m, where it remains open. The current drilling will consist of a minimum of
10,000m and will further test the extent of the Geotech VTEM airborne conductor.
The program will require 40 holes and is expected to continue until August,
after which a NI 43-101 resource estimate will be calculated. The Company
anticipates a steady flow of information from drilling activities and continued
metallurgical work from this fully funded $4 million exploration program for the
balance of 2013.
