March 28, 2012: Zone Resources Inc. (Zone) (TSX-V: ZNR) is pleased to announce that a contract has been signed to carry out a
drill program on its Labrador Trough iron properties in the Nunivik region of northern Quebec. Subject to financing, the 2012 exploration
program will consist of diamond drilling, surface exploration to generate new drill targets and an airborne gravity survey to explore for
high grade hematite targets.
The primary focus of drilling will be the Girard property, which has over 75 kilometres of strong, linear magnetic anomalies. The two 2011
diamond drill holes returned average total iron contents of greater than 35% over good widths. The Girard property also has extensive areas
of hematite, indicating the potential for DSO (Direct Shipping Ore) deposits. In one case, bright red hematitic rocks and overburden line both
sides of a 4-kilometre length of a river valley. Gravity surveying will be an important tool in defining DSO targets in these hematized areas,
as well as the extensive overburden-covered areas.

The properties are near Adriana Resources' Lac Otelnuk Project and New Millennium's Kemag and Labmag projects. Recent 43-101 compliant drilling,
completed at the end of 2011, on the Girard property intersected 35.77% Fe over 243.00 metres in drill hole ZR11-08 and 35.64% Fe over
137.00 metres in drill hole ZR11-09. ZR11-08 and ZR11-09 were the only two drill holes completed by Zone at the Girard property during the 2011
program.
Additional 2011 drilling on the Moore-Ross property, 70 kilometres to the northwest of the recent drilling at the Girard property, intersected an average
of 32.54% Fe over 167.10 metres in drill hole ZR11-07. Historical drilling on the Moore-Ross property is highlighted by a significant hole
grading 42.9% iron over 197 feet, including over 37 other drill holes with iron grades ranging from 17.25% to 44.8% (the primary iron
mineral is hematite).
