AIM-listed mineral exploration and development company URU Metals has started diamond drilling at its Zeb nickel project in Limpopo, South Africa.
The initial programme comprises eight planned holes totalling approximately 3,850 metres, focused on the nickel, copper, and platinum group element mineralisation within the project’s Zone 2.
URU noted that paired holes drilled from four locations are designed to evaluate both the shallower and down-dip areas of the mineralised zone.
The company stated that its objective is to generate additional geological and assay data to support the evaluation of a maiden mineral resource estimate for Zone 2.
The company added that any estimate would depend on the drilling results, data verification, and sufficient geological and grade continuity.
Furthermore, hole locations, orientations, and final depths may be adjusted as drilling advances and new geological information is incorporated into the model.
