.....John Zorbas, CEO of URU Metals, commented:
''We are extremely excited about the additional discovery of what appears to be a continuous horizon that contains PGE-Ni-Cu at potentially economic grades at an extremely shallow depth. By comparison, similar projects with a similar basket price are mining, or plan to mine, at greater depths. The team is now working on a strategy to conduct further exploration with the goal of defining a mineral resource. The aim of the program is to prove a shallow Ni-PGE resource with high base metal credits that, due to the width and depth, sits in the lowest quartile of the cost curve of PGE producers and highest equivalent PGE quartile, thanks to the high base metal credits. Our project was initially based only on nickel, but this discovery means that the Zebediela Project can potentially generate a significant revenue stream from the PGE credits."
