NEWS RELEASE
Ground-Based Geophysical Survey to Start Following Completion of Line
Preparation
Vancouver, BC, April 15, 2026 – ZEB Nickel Corp. (ZBNI:TSX-V) (OTC:ZBNIF) (“Zeb” or
the “Company”)
Zeb Nickel Corp is pleased to announce that line preparation has been completed across
both priority survey areas for the planned ground-based geophysical programme at the
Zeb Nickel Project.
The ground-based gravity survey is scheduled to commence tomorrow (15 April 2026),
with the frequency -domain electromagnetic (FDEM) survey expected to commence
shortly thereafter. The programme forms part of the next phase of exploration aimed at
enhancing the resolution of the previously completed airborne geophysical surveys.
The airborne programme successfully identified several compelling coincident gravity –
magnetic–electromagnetic anomalies interpreted to be associated with a magmatic
conduit system linking the Uitloop ultramafic bodies. The higher -resolution ground -
based surveys are expected to refine these anomalies, improve target definition, and
better constrain the geometry of conductive bodies potentially associated with semi -
massive nickel sulphide mineralisation.
The results of the gravity and FDEM surveys will support prioritisation of drill targets and
maximise the effectiveness of the Company’s upcoming drilling campaign.

CEO James Nieuwenhuys commented:
“We are very pleased to have completed line preparation across both survey areas and
to now be commencing the ground -based geophysical programme. While the airborne
programme successfully identified several compelling targets, the higher -resolution
ground surveys will allow us to sharpen our focus on the most prospective semi-massive
nickel sulphide targets. This work is designed to maximise the effectiveness of our
upcoming drilling campaign. We are very excited about the progress being made and
look forward to the coming weeks and months as the surveys advance. We will continue
to provide shareholders with regular updates as results become available.”

(collectively, “forward-looking statements”) within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities
legislation. All statements in this release, other than statements of historical fact, are forward -
looking statements, including but not limited to: interpretations of geophysical data, the potential
extension and connectivity of ultramafic bodies, the existence and extent of a feeder or plumbing
system, the significance of magnetic and gravity anomalies, statements regarding the potential
for massive Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide mineralisation, the planned re -processing and interpretation of
geophysical data, the intention to delineate drill targets in Zone 2 and Zone 3, the object ive of
declaring a higher -grade maiden NI 43 -101 compliant mineral resource, and the broader
development strategy of the Zeb Project.
Forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions believed by management to
be reasonable at the time such statements are made, including but not limited to: the accuracy
