Uru Metals Awards Key Engineering Contracts to Advance Zeb Nickel Project in South Africa
Uru Metals Moves Forward with Zeb Nickel Project, Awards Engineering and Environmental Contracts in Limpopo
UK-based mining company Uru Metals has awarded two key engineering and services contracts to accelerate development of its Zeb Nickel Project in South Africa’s Limpopo Province.
The first contract, awarded to GF International, covers a combined ground gravity and frequency-domain electromagnetic survey. This survey will target two key prospects and aims to refine drill targets for Uru Metals as the company advances exploration efforts.
The second contract focuses on implementing the environmental rehabilitation guarantee, a regulatory requirement essential for Uru Metals to secure its mining right for the Zeb Nickel Project.
“Transitioning from airborne targeting to ground geophysics is a critical step to refine our highest-priority conductors along the intrusive margins,” said Richard Montjoie, Vice President of Exploration at Uru Metals. “The program is designed to generate decision-ready targets for efficient drilling at Zeb Nickel.”
The new contracts come after Uru Metals raised £420,000 from an investor in June 2025 and an additional £300,000 through a private placement in April 2025 to fund ongoing activities at the Zeb Project.
According to the company, the Zeb Nickel Project is estimated to contain 485.4 million tonnes of ore with an average nickel grade of 0.245%, positioning it as a potentially significant contributor to South Africa’s future nickel supply.
