Recent drilling successful in obtaining further intersections of PGE-Nickel-Copper mineralisation\nURU Metals is pleased to announce the assay results from the successful additional three-hole drilling programme that targeted platinum group element (PGE) nickel copper (PGE-Ni-Cu) mineralisation on the Company's Zebediela Project, located on the largest known PGE repository in the world, the Bushveld Complex, Limpopo Province, South Africa.\nIn addition to the three holes concluded in Q3 2017 which discovered PGE mineralisation, a further three inclined holes (Z020, Z021 and Z022) were completed in December 2017 with the aim of intersecting further PGE mineralisation and to further understand the geology and geometry of the body hosting the PGE mineralisation.\n \nAll three additional holes intersected PGE-Ni-Cu mineralisation, and the results are summarised in the table below:\n \n\n\n\n\nDrill hole ID\n\n\nDepth From\n\n\nDepth To\n\n\nSample Interval\n\n\nDepth Below Surface\n\n\nCu\n\n\nNi**\n\n\nNi***\n\n\n3PGE + Au*\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nmeters\n\n\nmeters\n\n\nmeters\n\n\nmeters\n\n\n%\n\n\n%\n\n\n%\n\n\ng/t\n\n\n\n\nZ020\n\n\n55.0\n\n\n65.0\n\n\n10.0\n\n\n43.2\n\n\n0.18\n\n\n0.52\n\n\n0.43\n\n\n2.39\n\n\n\n\nZ020\n\n\n174.0\n\n\n176.1\n\n\n2.1\n\n\n137.0\n\n\n0.15\n\n\n0.59\n\n\n0.42\n\n\n2.00\n\n\n\n\nZ021\n\n\n194.0\n\n\n198.8\n\n\n4.8\n\n\n176.0\n\n\n0.12\n\n\n0.48\n\n\n0.34\n\n\n2.15\n\n\n\n\nZ022\n\n\n38.1\n\n\n41.7\n\n\n3.6\n\n\n28.9\n\n\n0.09\n\n\n0.35\n\n\n0.33\n\n\n0.89\n\n\n\n\nZ022\n\n\n95.0\n\n\n95.5\n\n\n0.5\n\n\n70.0\n\n\n0.13\n\n\n0.39\n\n\n0.37\n\n\n6.37\n\n\n\n\n* 3PGE+Au equals platinum + palladium + rhodium + gold by fire assay with ICP-MS Finish\n**Total Ni assay by complete digestion, representing the Ni in both silicate and sulphide minerals\n***Citric acid leach, representing mostly the Ni in sulphide minerals\n \nThe company is pleased to highlight the relatively high base metal content along with significant PGE grades in the intersections at shallow depths. Due to the high Ni values, the basket price in drill intersections for Zebediela is higher than that at Anglo American Platinum's Mogalakwena Min...
