Ground-Based Geophysical Survey to start
URU Metals Limited has completed line preparation for its ground-based geophysical survey at the Zeb Nickel Project, with the gravity survey commencing on April 15, 2026, and the FDEM survey to follow shortly. This program aims to enhance the resolution of previous airborne surveys, which identified compelling gravity-magnetic-electromagnetic anomalies potentially linked to a magmatic conduit system. The ground surveys are expected to refine these anomalies, improve target definition for semi-massive nickel sulphide mineralisation, and support the prioritisation of drill targets for the upcoming drilling campaign.

URU Metals Limited ("URU" or the "Company") 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 today, 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 John Zorbas 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."
