Zeb begins ground-based geophysical program at Zeb

Executive Summary

• Zeb Nickel Corp. has commenced line preparation activities for a ground-based geophysical program at its Zeb nickel project in South Africa, marking the start of the next exploration phase.
• The program aims to enhance the resolution and interpretation of previously completed airborne geophysical surveys by conducting high-resolution gravity and frequency-domain electromagnetic (FDEM) surveys.
• The surveys are designed to improve anomaly definition, depth constraints, and drill targeting for potential semi-massive to massive nickel sulphide mineralization associated with a magmatic conduit system.

Key Details

• Activity Commencement: Line preparation activities began on March 2 along survey lines required for the ground-based geophysical program.
• Survey Areas: The ground-based geophysical survey will be conducted over two priority survey areas.
• Survey Components:
  • High-resolution gravity surveys.
  • Frequency-domain electromagnetic (FDEM) surveys.
• Objectives:
  • Improve resolution and accuracy of previously completed airborne EM, magnetic, and gravity data sets.
  • Provide higher spatial resolution compared to airborne surveys.
  • Improve anomaly definition and depth constraints.
  • Enhance discrimination between lithological contrasts and sulphide conductors.
  • Increase confidence in prioritizing drill targets.
• Specific Technical Goals:
  • The FDEM survey is designed to delineate conductive bodies representing semi-massive to massive nickel sulphide mineralization linked to the interpreted magmatic conduit system.
  • The gravity data aims to map dense ultramafic bodies and identify potential sulphide accumulations within structural trap sites.
• Strategic Impact: The surveys are expected to significantly refine drill targeting and reduce exploration risk ahead of the next drilling phase.
• Qualified Person: Richard Montjoie (VP of Exploration and Director) reviewed and approved the technical data. He is a registered member of SACNASP (No. 400131/09) and holds an MSc (honours) in economic geology from the University of Witwatersrand.

Notable Quotes

• "The commencement of ground-based geophysics represents an important technical step forward for the Zeb nickel project. While the airborne program successfully identified several compelling targets, the higher-resolution ground surveys will allow us to sharpen our focus on the most prospective semi-massive nickel sulphide targets. This work is designed to maximise the effectiveness of our upcoming drilling campaign." — John Zorbas, Director
