The Bryan property is of interest because it contains common magnetic anomalies on its southern border with the Cleaver Lake property that correspond with new surface showings of gold and copper. Zappa has recently returned from a site visit and was encouraged with the physical surface geology. Independent assaying is being done for Zappa of the showing's grab samples. The property is in the Flin Flon mining camp of Manitoba and within 17 kilometres of the town's smelter. The joint venture agreement is subject to further due diligence and regulatory approval where required. Zappa has closed on its sale of the La Plata massive sulphide property in Ecuador as it previously announced for $200,000 (U.S.). Zappa has amended its agreement with International Minerals to convert its 2-per-cent royalty in the Ponce Enriquez gold camp also located in Ecuador to 125,000 shares of International Minerals common stock. These shares will be held for one year before becoming free and tradable. Both Ecuadorian transactions were given shareholder approval at Zappa's annual general meeting held June 5, 2002.
