ZEB Nickel Corp. announced that the company will shortly be commencing with geotechnical drilling as part of dolomitic stability investigation for the proposed mining infrastructure area which forms part of Zeb's Mining Right Application to the South African Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE). The Mining Right Application submitted to the DMRE as described in the Company's 43-101, available on the Company's website, had earmarked certain areas on the Project for surface mining infrastructure, which is underlain by dolomite.

The DMRE has requested that the Company perform a dolomitic stability investigation in this prescribed area to ensure that any future surface mining infrastructure is not situated on geotechnically unstable ground, which can be associated with dolomite. The drilling will be conducted by Ntamu Engineers, which is a South African Professional Environmental Consulting agency, with a team of professionals specializing in several environmental science and environmental engineering fields. Drilling will follow on the back of a geophysical investigation consisting of a gravity survey to delineate areas of low densities possibly associated with dissolution cavities.

Drilling of an estimated 17 boreholes using an air percussion drilling method will be drilled to a minimum of 6 m into hard rock or 60 m whichever comes first as per South African National Standard (SANS) 1936-2. Logging of the drilling chips will be done by a qualified engineering geologist. Drilling will also be supervised by the Company's geologists, who will monitor the chips for any geological information pertinent to the project and examine the chips for signs of mineralization. No assays will be done on material collected from these drillholes unless mineralization is intersected.

The results of the study will be submitted to the South African Council for Geoscience for review, and then the final report will be submitted to the DMRE for comment. Drilling is expected to be completed by the October 28th, 2022, and the final report submitted to the DMRE during early December, 2022.
