Zeus North America Mining Corp. Strengthens Commitment to U.S.
Copper Supply Amid Potential Tariff Action
Vancouver, British Columbia, February 27, 2025 – Zeus North America Mining Corp. (CSE:
ZEUS) (OTCQB: ZUUZF) (FRANKFURT: O92) (the “Company” or “Zeus”) announces that
the Company remains dedicated to exploring and developing copper- silver deposits and future
critical mineral supply within the United States of America (USA). Coppe r is a vital industrial
metal, essential for sectors such as energy, infrastructure, and advanced manufacturing. The recent
commitment by President Trump on Fe bruary 24, 2025, to advance ta riff actions against Canada
and Mexico further underscores the importance of developing domes tic sources to ensure long-
term supply chain resilience.
“We recognize the potential impact these tariffs may ha ve on the copper industry and
stakeholders,” said Dean Besserer, CEO of Zeus North American Mining Corp. “As we continue
exploring and developing copper projects in Ida ho, USA we see this as a pivotal moment to
reinforce the importance of domestic deposit development for future copper production in order to
mitigate supply chain risks and reduce dependence on foreign sources.”
“With potential cost disadvantages for Canadian and other foreign explorers and producers, Zeus
anticipates increased copper demand from industri al and government buyers seeking reliable,
tariff-free copper. In ad dition to economic benefits, the Co mpany’s exploration initiatives will
drive job creation and local econo mic growth in Idaho, further solidifying the re gion’s role in
strengthening America’s resource independence.”
