The Bryan Lake property consists of eight mineral claims, covering 882 hectares. Several alteration zones and mineral showings with copper zinc mineralization exist on the property. A number of conductors have been located in previous exploration and have not been drilled. The Flin Flon area contains good infrastructure and favourable geological settings to explore for additional massive sulphide discoveries. Mines in the area have produced to date over two million tons of copper, four million tons of zinc and over four million ounces of gold. A significant copper zone was discovered on the Bell Resources' Clever Lake property trending in a northerly direction toward the Bryan Lake property, 250 metres to the north. Zappa's site visit included an inspection of the Bell copper showing where five mineralized rocks were selectively taken from the discovered sulphide outcrops. The outcrop may indicate a feeder system for massive sulphide targets in the area. The five outcrop rock samples were fire-assayed at Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. of Vancouver, B.C., and ran 5.6 per cent, 6.0 per cent, 3.7 per cent, 4.6 per cent, 4.0 per cent copper and 0.46 grams per ton gold, 0.77 g/t gold, 0.82 g/t gold, 0.50 g/t gold, 1.38 g/t gold. The option agreement for the adjoining Bryan Lake property requires Zappa to pay approximately $52,500 in property payments and 200,000 shares of Zappa's common stock along with a minimum exploration program of $150,000 over a four-year period to earn 50 per cent of the mining claims. Zappa Resources has also contributed $50,000 to a private placement in Bell Resources for 500,000 units consisting of one share at 10 cents and a half warrant to be exercised at 20 cents per share. The above agreement is subject to Bell Resources and 4058667 Manitoba Ltd. option agreement wherein Bell has been granted the exclusive option to acquire a 100-per-cent interest in the property by making certain payments and carrying out property expenditures. The above agreements are also subject to regulatory approval where required. WARNING: The company relies upon litigation protection for "forward-looking" statements.
