Zone Resources Inc. (Zone) (TSX VENTURE:ZNR)(FRANKFURT:7ZR) is pleased to announce the results of diamond drill hole ZR11-08 on the company's Girard iron ore property in the Labrador trough of northern Quebec. The hole intersected iron formation with an average of 35.77 % Fe over 243.00 metres.
Drill hole ZR11-08 was drilled at -50 degrees on a 5 kilometre long airborne magnetic anomaly in the western part of the Girard claim group. It was collared in magnetite-rich iron formation at the base of casing at 6.00 metres. The iron zone continued for 243.00 metres. Iron contents of individual samples over core lengths of between 1.50 and 2.00 metres ranged from 23.49% Fe up to a maximum 45.55% Fe, with an average of 35.77% Fe over the entire 243.00 metre intersection.

The dip of the iron zone, based on core angles, is approximately vertical. The hole was collared in iron formation, and so did not intersect the full width of the zone.
"We are excited about the potential of the Girard Project," stated Charles Desjardins, President and CEO of Zone Resources. "With numerous magnetic anomalies over an aggregate length of 75 kilometres, we plan to focus Zone's initial 2012 drill program at Girard. While our initial work will continue to focus on magnetite iron formations, the historical information has lead us to believe the property has excellent potential to yield higher grade hematite rich zones which we hope to begin to follow up on later in 2012."
The Girard claim group encompasses 602 claims with a total area of 28,238 hectares (69,747 acres). The airborne magnetic survey has outlined numerous anomalies: the aggregate length of all the magnetic anomalies believed to be caused by magnetite iron formation (with an amplitude over 1,000 nT), is approximately 75 kilometres in length and over 2 kilometres in width.
Hole ZR11-08 was the first and only hole to date on the 5-kilometre long anomaly. It was situated 21 kilometres west of ZR11-09, which was drilled on a separate, 9-kilometre long magnetic anomaly. ZR11-09 intersected 35.64% Fe over 137.00 metres. It also was a 50-degree inclined hole, was also collared in iron formation, and hence also did not test the full width of the magnetite zone.
