Zeb Nickel Announces Management Changes

Vancouver, BC, December 6, 2023 - ZEB Nickel Corp. (ZBNI:TSX-V) (OTC:ZBNIF) ("Zeb" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Mr. James Nieuwenhuys, our current non-executive Chairman, will be assuming the role of Chief Executive Officer from the current interim CEO, Mr. Richard Montjoie, effective immediately. Mr. Montjoie will continue in his role as VP Exploration and director.

Mr. Nieuwenhuys, a seasoned mining executive has previously held numerous senior positions, most recently as Chief Executive Officer of Eurasia Mining PLC, a PGM and battery metals company, listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM), primarily focussed on Russian PGE and battery metals assets. Mr. Nieuwenhuys was the Chief Operating Officer at Polyus Gold, Russia's largest gold miner; and formerly the Chief Executive Officer at South African Lesego Platinum Mining Limited. Mr. Nieuwenhuys has an engineering background and has also held senior executive positions at a number of EPC organisations, including SNC Lavalin, Bateman Projects and Bateman Diamonds.

Mr. Nieuwenhuys has extensive experience in greenfield and brownfield exploration projects and transitioning these into world-class mines, and in his new role as CEO, will be well positioned to strategically drive the Company forward and create value for our shareholders.

Mr. Nieuwenhuys commented: "I look forward to assuming a more hands-on role with the Zeb team and focussing my energies on growing Zeb Nickel Corp by advancing our flagship Zeb Project, located in a world class mining district that contains some of the world's largest nickel sulfide deposits. We are excited about the exploration results to date and my short-term goals are to re-commence exploration drilling as soon as possible with the aim of declaring a higher-grade nickel-PGE resource."
