("Zenith" or the "Company") LSE: ZEN, TSX.V: ZEE provides an update on the closed, non-brokered private placement of 33,910,774 common shares of the Company ("Shares") at a price of £0.07 per Share for aggregate gross proceeds of £2,373,754 (the "Private Placement"). The purpose of this news release is for Zenith to inform the market that it paid finder's fees of £113,500 and issued 1,114,286 broker warrants exercisable for 24 months from closing at a price of £0.07 per common share to certain arm's-length parties under the private placement undertaken as part of the dual listing on the London Stock Exchange on 11 January 2017.

In addition, on 30 January 2017, the Company announced the proposed conversion of a tranche of Convertible Notes denominated in Swiss Francs, into 3,700,000 (three million seven hundred thousand) New Common Shares of Zenith.

Following Admission of the aforementioned 3,700,000 shares, resultant from the conversion of convertible notes, and the 9,000,000 (nine million) shares issued from the Private Placement of 30 January 2017, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 111,264,867 common shares with one voting right per share. No shares are held in Treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company will therefore be 111,264,867.
