ZEB NICKEL COMMENCES DIAMOND DRILLING AT THE ZEB NICKEL PROJECT

Diamond drilling has commenced at Zeb Nickel Corp.'s Zeb nickel project in Limpopo province, South Africa. The initial program comprises eight planned holes totalling approximately 3,850 metres, focused on the project's zone 2 nickel-copper-platinum-group-element (PGE) mineralization.

Drilling program

The program is designed to improve geological control and test the continuity of zone 2 mineralization. Paired holes from four drill pads are intended to test the shallower and downdip portions of the mineralized 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, and applicable CIM definition standards. There is no assurance that this program 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 program does not, by itself, establish continuity with other mineralized 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 program. The company intends to provide operational updates and disclose material results following receipt, quality control review and interpretation. No assay results from this program are reported in this news release.

Qualified person statement

All technical data, as disclosed in this news release, has been reviewed and approved by Richard Montjoie. Mr. Montjoie is the vice-president of exploration and director of the company, and is not, therefore, independent of the company. Mr. Montjoie is a registered member of the South African Council for Natural Scientific Professions (SACNASP) membership No. 400131/09. Mr. Montjoie holds an MSc honours in economic geology from the University of Witwatersrand, South Africa, and is fellow of the Geological Society of South Africa (GSSA). Mr. Montjoie is a qualified person as defined under the terms of National Instrument 43-101.
