About Zephyr Minerals Ltd.
Zephyr is a Canadian based company focused on exploration for gold and silver around the globe. Zephyr's newly optioned Keezhik Gold Property located in the Fort Hope area of Ontario, Canada, is situated within the same greenstone belt that hosts the world-famous Red Lake gold mine owned by Goldcorp Inc. The only hole drilled on the Keezhik Claims in 2010 contained several mineralized intersections including 1.5 metres of 22.0 g/t gold. This hole was drilled on one of a series of soil (humus) geochem anomalies which stretch for over 2km's along the favourable geological contact zone. This points to excellent discovery potential in this largely unexplored area.
