[{"type":"text","content":"Higher-Grade Nickel Zone Identified at ZebedielaHighlights:An analysis of deeper holes drilled at the Zeb Project has revealed a higher-grade nickel mineralized zone at the base of the historical nickel resource estimate.An investigation of a full compilation of all data (drilling, 3D geological modelling and assays) has revealed that historical drilling stopped short of testing this higher-grade mineralized zone, meaning that this ore body is significantly under explored. Further drilling into this zone may result in intersecting higher nickel grades and lead to an overall increase in grade.Three-dimensional geological modelling and data interpretation now completed.Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 7, 2023) - ZEB Nickel Corp. (TSXV: ZBNI) (OTCQB: ZBNIF) (\"Zeb\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that the Company has now completed a full evaluation of the results from both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 drilling campaigns, as reported in News Release March 15, 2022, and related these results to all available historical information, updated the exploration model and produced a three-dimensional geological model of the project area. The Company has identified higher grade zones within the Lower Zone lithologies that host the historical nickel resource estimate as described in the Company's NI43-101. Much of the historical drilling stopped short of these higher-grade zones, and further drilling into these zones could result in an increase in the grade of the resource estimate hosted in these Lower Zone lithologies as illustrated in Figure 1 below.Figure 1: A section through the Lower Zone Uitloop II body showing that majority of the historical drillholes stopped in the Serpentinised Dunite Unit or at the top of the Serpentinite Unit. Photo A and B shows the increased sulfide content of 5 - 10% that are disseminated and blebby in nature associated with the Serpentinised Unit and Poikilitic Harzburgite Unit. The yellow dashed area represents the potential higher grade nickel mineralization adjacent to and below the existing historical estimate.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7682/153890_11704fbb8427db2f_001full.jpgThe development of a three-dimensional geological model has allowed the Company to better focus the next phase of exploration, which w...
