URU Metals gains peer-reviewed backing for Zeb Nickel exploration model

The latest announcement is out from URU Metals ( (GB:URU) ).

URU Metals has received support for its geological model at the Zeb Nickel Project from two peer-reviewed studies that analyse sulphur processes and chromite formation in the Bushveld Complex. The research backs the company’s sulphur-assimilation thesis, highlighting how oxidised crustal sulphur can drive sulphide saturation and concentrate Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation, helping URU refine its focus on feeder-style and structurally controlled targets.

Building on these findings, URU is integrating the new scientific insights into its 2026 exploration programme, including ongoing ground electromagnetic and gravity surveys to sharpen drill targeting. Updated 3D geological and geophysical modelling will guide final drill design aimed at both resource expansion in existing zones and testing higher-grade feeder/conduit targets, potentially enhancing the project’s exploration efficiency and upside for stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:URU) stock is a Hold with a £7.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on URU Metals stock, see the GB:URU Stock Forecast page.
