URU Metals: Zeb Nickel Commences Diamond Drilling

· Issued by URU Metals Limited via RNS

Summary by 6ix AI

URU Metals Limited, a mineral exploration company focused on South Africa, has begun diamond drilling (drilling that recovers solid rock core) at the Zeb Nickel Project in Limpopo Province, South Africa.

Key details

  • The initial programme is eight planned holes totalling approximately 3,850 metres, targeting the project's Zone 2 nickel-copper-platinum group element (PGE) mineralisation.
  • Paired holes from four drill pads are intended to test the shallower and down-dip (further down the slope of the mineralised layer) portions of the mineralised package.
  • The company says the aim is to gather more geological and assay data to support evaluation of a first mineral resource estimate (an estimate of the quantity and grade of mineralised material) for Zone 2.
  • No assay results from this programme have been reported yet. Core will be sampled under a Qualified Person's supervision and sent for independent laboratory analysis.
  • The technical information was approved by Richard Montjoie, Exploration Manager, a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, who is not independent of the company.

What’s still pending

  • Any mineral resource estimate would depend on drilling results, data verification, sufficient geological and grade continuity and the other requirements of National Instrument 43-101 and applicable CIM Definition Standards; there is no assurance the programme will establish a mineral resource or show economic viability.
  • Hole locations, orientations and final depths may be adjusted as drilling advances.
  • The company intends to disclose material results after receipt, quality control review and interpretation.

Zeb Nickel Commences Diamond Drilling at the Zeb Nickel Project

Initial eight-hole programme targets Zone 2 nickel-copper-PGE mineralisation

URU Metals Limited (AIM: URU) (“URU” or the “Company”) announces that diamond drilling has commenced at the Zeb Nickel Project in Limpopo Province, South Africa. The initial programme comprises eight planned holes totalling approximately 3,850 metres, focused on the Project’s Zone 2 nickel-copper-platinum group element (“PGE”) mineralisation.

Drilling programme

The programme is designed to improve geological control and test the continuity of Zone 2 mineralisation. Paired holes from four drill pads are intended to test the shallower and down-dip portions of the mineralised package.

The objective is to generate additional geological and assay data to support evaluation of a maiden mineral resource estimate for Zone 2. Any estimate would depend on the drilling results, data verification and sufficient geological and grade continuity, together with the other requirements of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and applicable CIM Definition Standards. There is no assurance that this programme will establish a mineral resource or demonstrate economic viability.

Hole locations, orientations and final depths may be adjusted as drilling advances and geological information is incorporated into the model. The initial Zone 2 programme does not, by itself, establish continuity with other mineralised zones or identify the source of untested geophysical conductors.

Sampling and reporting

Core will be logged and sampled under the supervision of the responsible Qualified Person, with samples submitted for independent laboratory analysis under a quality assurance and quality control programme. The Company intends to provide operational updates and disclose material results following receipt, quality control review and interpretation. No assay results from this programme are reported in this release.

Qualified Person and data verification

The scientific and technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Richard Montjoie, Pr.Sci.Nat. Exploration Manager, who is a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Mr Montjoie is not independent of the Company.
