Zeus North America Mining Corp. Applauds the Executive Order to

Accelerate Critical Mineral Production, including Copper, in the USA

March20th, 2025 Executive order signed to accelerate the domestic production of Copper

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, MARCH 26th, 2025 – ZEUS NORTH AMERICA

MINING CORP. (CSE: ZEUS) (OTCQB: ZUUZF) (FRANKFURT: O92) (THE

“COMPANY” OR “ZEUS”) are pleased to announce the historic March 20, 2025, Executive

Order signed by United States President Donald J. Trump to accelerate the domestic production of

critical metals, including copper.

The Executive Order invokes the use of the Defense Production Act as part of a broad U.S.

Government effort to expand domestic critical minerals production on national security grounds.

The Order states that it will "identify priority projects that can be immediately approved or for

which permits can be immediately issued, and take all necessary or appropriate actions…to

expedite and issue the relevant permits or approvals." Furthermore, the Order includes provisions

to accelerate access to private and public capital for domestic projects, including the creation of a

"dedicated mineral and mineral production fund for domestic investments" under the Development

Finance Corporation ("DFC").

Dean Besserer, President and CEO, stated, “The mandate to accelerate USA based domestic

copper further reiterates our current path to making the next copper porphyry discovery in the

USA. Our recently announced results at our Idaho, USA based Cuddy Mountain copper-moly-

silver project are that much more important . With the nearby Hercules project gearing up for an

aggressive 2025 drill season, the geological team at Zeus is eager to follow suit."

About the Cuddy Mountain Copper Property (Idaho, USA)

The Cuddy Mountain Property is adjacent to Hercules Metals Corp.’s recently discovered

Leviathan Copper Porphyry (Cnd$167Million Market Capitalization).* The discovery resulted in

Barrick injecting Cnd$23Million in equity while staking a substantial land position in the district

along with Rio Tinto . The Cuddy Mountain Property consists of 101 lode mining claims

respectively and cover a cumulative area of approximately 2020 acres.

Zeus recently announced it’s 2024 exploration results which include high -priority drill targets

delineated by: a broad 3 by 3 kilometer Copper (“Cu”) -Silver (“Ag”)-Molybdenum(“Mo”) soil

anomaly; coincidental Cu-Mo-Ag rock grab anomalies; a b road, continuous zone of moderate to

strong chargeability , (>20ms up to 60ms) trend ing NE-SW, indicative of extensive sulphide

mineralization potential at depth; and, exposure of the Sevin Devils Volcanics which underly the

high priority anomalies. The Seven Devils Volcanics are the host-rock of the recently discovered

Leviathan Porphyry Copper discovery*.

Historical Drilling at Cuddy Mountain consisted of 7 shallow drill holes in 1977 intersecting

anomalous lead and silver. Drill hole Mun 8 contained 90 feet of 2.02 ounces per tonne (“oz/t”)

Ag (Taylor, 1977). Further historical exploration on Zeus’s Cuddy Mountain Project occurred at

the Edna May Mine: Mineralized vein with chip samples containing 750 ppm lead (“Pb”), 7.7%

zinc (“Zn”) and 252 ppm Ag over 4 feet. Underground drilling in 1979 intersected 1.38 oz/t Ag

over 7 feet in a breccia zone (Burmeister, 1980). Additional exploration (By Taylor, 1977) at the

Rockslide area encountered Malachite -stained outcrops with a grab sample containing 760 ppm

Pb, 0.67 % Zn and 36 grams per tonne Silver (Taylor, 1977).
