GROUND-BASED GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY TO START FOLLOWING COMPLETION OF LINE PREPARATION

Zeb Nickel Corp. has completed line preparation across both priority survey areas for the planned ground-based geophysical program at the Zeb nickel project.

The ground-based gravity survey is scheduled to commence tomorrow (April 15, 2026), with the frequency-domain electromagnetic (FDEM) survey expected to commence shortly thereafter. The program forms part of the next phase of exploration aimed at enhancing the resolution of the previously completed airborne geophysical surveys.

The airborne program successfully identified several compelling coincident gravity-magnetic-electromagnetic anomalies interpreted to be associated with a magmatic conduit system linking the Uitloop ultramafic bodies. The higher-resolution ground-based surveys are expected to refine these anomalies, improve target definition and better constrain the geometry of conductive bodies potentially associated with semi-massive nickel sulphide mineralization.

The results of the gravity and FDEM surveys will support prioritization of drill targets and maximise the effectiveness of the company's upcoming drilling campaign.

Chief executive officer James Nieuwenhuys commented:

"We are very pleased to have completed line preparation across both survey areas and to now be commencing the ground-based geophysical program. 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 maximize the effectiveness of our upcoming drilling campaign. We are very excited about the progress being made and look forward to the coming weeks and months as the surveys advance. We will continue to provide shareholders with regular updates as results become available."
