URU completes SpectremPlus AEM survey at Zeb nickel project
Aim-listed URU Metals has confirmed that the high‑powered SpectremPlus airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey over its Zeb nickel project, in Limpopo, has been successfully completed on schedule and on budget.
The company notes that about 736 line‑kilometres were flown at 150 m traverse spacing using Spectrem's converted DC‑3 turboprop platform equipped with the proprietary SpectremPlus system, capable of imaging conductive bodies to depths in excess of 700 m.
URU says final, fully processed datasets, 3D inversion models and an integrated geophysical interpretation are expected by the end of August.
Deliverables will be integrated with existing gravity‑magnetic data to refine and prioritise drill targets focused on potential high‑grade nickel‑sulphide mineralisation.
The company says the Spectrem Air team has begun final processing, following which the company's geophysical consultant will complete a full interpretation and integration with the recently acquired gravity and magnetic datasets.
South Africa-based geophysical consultancy company Geofocus has been tasked with the integration of the geological, gravity, magnetic and electromagnetic datasets into a unified 3D geophysical block model.
URU says management anticipates releasing the results, together with an updated technical programme and drill‑target inventory, shortly after receipt of the final deliverables, which are expected near the end of the third quarter of this year.
"Completion of this state‑of‑the‑art AEM survey marks another key milestone for the Zeb project. The high‑resolution data will underpin our next phase of exploration as we advance toward testing high‑grade nickel sulphide targets, which, if successful, will significantly move the needle on the project,” says CEO John Zorbas.
