COMMENCEMENT OF GROUND-BASED GEOPHYSICAL PROGRAMME

Line preparation activities commenced on March 2 along the survey lines required for the planned ground-based geophysical program at Zeb Nickel Corp.'s Zeb nickel project.

The line preparation marks the start of the next phase of exploration, aimed at enhancing the resolution and refining the interpretation of the previously completed airborne geophysical surveys.

Ground-based geophysical program

The ground-based geophysical survey will be conducted over two priority survey areas and will include:

• High-resolution gravity surveys;
• Frequency-domain electromagnetic (FDEM) surveys.

These surveys are being undertaken to improve the resolution and accuracy of the airborne EM (electromagnetic), magnetic and gravity data sets previously completed across the project.

Purpose and benefits

While the airborne surveys successfully identified several coincident gravity-magnetic-electromagnetic anomalies and confirmed the presence of a magmatic conduit system, ground-based geophysics provides:

• Higher spatial resolution compared to airborne surveys;
• Improved anomaly definition and depth constraints;
• Enhanced discrimination between lithological contrasts and sulphide conductors;
• Greater confidence in prioritizing drill targets.

In particular, the frequency-domain electromagnetic survey is designed to better delineate conductive bodies that may represent semi-massive to massive nickel sulphide mineralization associated with the interpreted magmatic conduit system.

The higher-resolution gravity data will further assist in mapping dense ultramafic bodies and identifying potential sulphide accumulations within structural trap sites.

Together, these surveys are expected to significantly refine drill targeting and reduce exploration risk ahead of the next drilling phase.

John Zorbas, director, commented:

"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."
