The programme forms part of the next phase of exploration aimed at enhancing the resolution of the previously completed airborne geophysical surveys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results of the gravity and FDEM surveys will support prioritisation of drill targets and maximise the effectiveness of the Company&#8217;s upcoming drilling campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dw6uz0omxro53.cloudfront.net\/3687852\/4e5c6b77-d415-4f96-ac2e-ec8d5864029f.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Figure 1: Map showing the ground-based geophysical survey areas, including the adjacent Ivanplats Mining Right and mine shaft.

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.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Company<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>URU Metals is a mineral exploration and development company focused on advancing high-potential critical metals projects in South Africa.
