The company now targets a First Quarter start date post-holidays.

Zion has secured service contractors and ancillary items required for efficient operations. This workplan approval follows the acquisition of Exploration License 434 on September 19. This "Megiddo Valleys License" spans approximately 75,000 acres and signifies a deep commitment to Israel's energy landscape.
