NEWS RELEASE

ZENITH EXPLORATION PROVIDES UPDATE ON GOLDEN GIRL PROPERTY

Vancouver, BC – April 10, 2019 – Zenith Exploration Inc. (CSE: “ZX”) (“Zenith” or the “Company”) wishes to

provide an update on the recently acquired Golden Girl property as previously disclosed in the news release

dated December 4, 2018.

The Company a cquired 100% ownership of the Golden Girl property subject to a 1% net smelter royalty in

November 2018. The property area comprises 4 map-staked claims covering 693.35 hectares (1,712.58 acres)

located 6 km (3.7 mi) east of the confluence of the Skeena and Babine rivers, and about 102 km (62.2 mi)

north- northwest of the Town of Smithers in northwestern British Columbia. There is road access to within 8

km (4.9 mi) of the property.

Numerous old hand workings and decayed claim posts in the silver vein showings area indicate that

mineralization was explored on the Golden Girl property area since the 1920s. Modern exploration

commenced in 1986 when Tom Bell of Kispiox, British Columbia stak ed claims over the silver veins. He

optioned the ground to Noranda Exploration. In 1987, more claims were staked and Noranda conducted

geological and soil-geochemical exploration on the expanded property. The molybdenum showings area was

discovered down-hill and to the west of the silver veins. At that time the option was dropped.

John Ostler of West Vancouver, British Columbia examined the property in 2007. The stock was a 60 million-

year-old Babine intrusion, some of which with visible mineralization . When the property area came open in

2014, Ostler staked it and conducted a program of geological mapping the following year.

Upon acquiring the Golden Girl property from Ostler in November, 2018, Zenith Exploration commissioned

Precision GeoSurveys Inc. of Langley, British Columbia to fly helicopter -borne magnetic and electromagnetic

surveys over the property area. Concurrently, PhotoSat Information Ltd. of Vancouver, B ritish Columbia

conducted an ASTER satellite imagery study of the area. The results of th e recent surveys confirmed and

expanded upon the findings of the previous 2015 exploration. They are summarized briefly as follows:

Development of mineralization in the Golden Girl property area appears to be similar to t hat of an Endako-

type porphyry molybdenum hydrothermal system.

The Golden Girl Stock produces an obvious linear magnetic high that extends east -northeast to west -

southwest across the property. The length of the stock as indicated by the magnetic high is about 4.8 km (2.9

mi) which is about double its length as currently mapped. The stock hosts the hydrothermal system and

mineralization.

The Red Valley Fault was identified on the ground previously as the precursor structure of the intrusion of the

stock, the subsequent hydrothermal system, and mineralization. That fault can be traced for 5.5 km (3.4 mi)

across the whole 2018 airborne geophysical survey area by a series of magnetic highs.

The Red Valley Fault transported fluids at least four times:

1. During intrusion of the stock and development of the silver-bearing polymetallic veins near its apex;

2. During potassic alteration;

3. During the first phase of phyllic alteration which produced the orange limonite by oxidation and

hydration of pyrite; and

4. During the second phase of phyllic alteration that produced the red limonite from pyrite oxidation and

hydration.

The red limonite seems to be associated with most of the molybdenite mineralization.

There is a 3.0 X 2.1 -km (1.8 X 1.3 -mi), roughly rectangular zone of low vertical magnetic gradient that is

centered on the intersection of the Red Valley and Main Transcurrent faults between the silver vein showings

and molybdenum showings areas that covers an area of about 6.3 km2 (2.34 mi2 ). That area also has a low

total magnetic intensity and vertical magnetic gradient compared with the areas adjacent with the faults that

transect it. It is interpreted to be the phyllic alteration zone.

The phyllic alteration zone is considered to be the center of the hydrothermal system and mineralization . It

will be the main focus of Zenith’s next phase of exploration.

In addition, upon extensive review and evaluation of the Lac Matchi property, Zenith’s management team has

determined that exploration funds be better utilized on the Golden Girl and Mant le properties that have

shown very positive results to date. Therefore; effective April 5, 2019 Zenith provided the Optionor with formal

notice to terminate of the Lac Matchi Option Agreement.
