Uru Metals Ltd - exploration and development firm - Says Zeb Nickel Corp is due to begin drilling at the Zebediela Project in South Africa. The 3,600 metre diamond exploration drill programme will target higher grade nickel sulphide mineralisation recently discovered in the footwall of the historical estimate, the company says. Expects the drilling will allow Zeb Nickel to estimate the level of infill drilling required to classify the historical resource as a current mineral resource. Chief executive of URU Metals, John Zorbas, adds: "We see the next steps as identifying the extent of the higher-grade mineralisation, classifying the historical resource as current, and then updating the [preliminary economic assessment] which could ultimately translate into better project economics with reduced project capital requirements with a higher life of mine head grade, assisted by [platinum group element] by-products."
