Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 31, 2025) - ZEB Nickel Corp. (TSXV: ZBNI) (OTCQB: ZBNIF) ("Zeb" or the "Company") is pleased to confirm that the high-powered SpectremPlus airborne electromagnetic ("AEM") survey over its Zeb Nickel Project in Limpopo Province, South Africa ("Project"), has been successfully completed on schedule.
Highlights
- Survey completed safely and on budget.
- ~736 line-kilometres flown at 150 m traverse spacing using Spectrem's converted DC-3 turboprop platform equipped with the proprietary SpectremPlus system, capable of imaging conductive bodies to depths in excess of 700 m.
- Final, fully processed datasets, 3-D inversion models and an integrated geophysical interpretation are expected by the end of August 2025.
- Deliverables will be integrated with existing gravity-magnetic data to refine and prioritise drill targets focused on potential high-grade nickel-sulphide mineralisation.
Next Steps
The Spectrem Air team has begun final processing, following which the Company's geophysical consultant will complete a full interpretation and integration with the recently acquired gravity and magnetic datasets. Geofocus has been tasked with the integration of the geological, gravity, magnetic, and EM datasets into a unified 3D geophysical block model. Management anticipates releasing the results, together with an updated technical programme and drill-target inventory, shortly after receipt of the final deliverables, which are expected near the end of Q3 2025.
Richard Montjoie, VP of Exploration, commented:
"Completion of this state-of-the-art AEM survey marks another key milestone for the Zeb Project. The high-resolution data will underpin our next phase of exploration as we advance toward testing high-grade nickel sulphide targets, which, if successful, will significantly move the needle on the Project."
