Zeb Nickel hires GeoFocus for ground geophysics at Zeb

Executive Summary

• Zeb Nickel Corp. has appointed GF International Pty. Ltd. (GeoFocus) to conduct a combined ground gravity and frequency-domain electromagnetic (EM) survey at its Zeb nickel project in South Africa.
• The geophysics program targets two priority areas to refine conductor geometry and generate drill-ready targets, with mobilization scheduled for late October 2025.
• Concurrently, the company has appointed a specialist provider to implement the environmental rehabilitation guarantee required for the granting of the Zeb Nickel mining right.

Notable Quotes

• "Transitioning from airborne targeting to ground geophysics is the critical step to refine our highest-priority conductors along the intrusive margins. The program is designed to generate decision-ready targets for efficient drilling at Zeb Nickel. While the team is busy with the ground geophysics, we're also locking in the practical legislative compliance pieces. Putting the rehabilitation guarantee provider in place is a simple, value-protective step that keeps the project on the front foot." — Richard Montjoie, Exploration Vice-President
