Zambezi Nickel today announces an update on its 2007 field season exploration activities on its portfolio of uranium and nickel projects in Zambia and Mozambique. Zambian Uranium Joint Venture As announced on 21 May 2007, Zambezi Nickel has entered into heads of agreement with Zambezi Resources Limited with a view to entering into a joint venture agreement, before the end of August 2007, in respect of certain of Zambezi Resource Limited's uranium assets. The Company confirms that this is progressing and a further announcement will be made when the joint venture agreement is executed. Exploration activity over high priority uranium targets by Zambezi Resources has continued in the lead-up to the Company assuming management and funding of exploration once all Joint Venture formalities are completed. At the Mpande uranium project, first pass reconnaissance spectrometer and scintillometer traverses of the Mvula linear uranium radiometric anomaly has confirmed a strike length of > 8km of a radiometrically responsive rock type (a dolomitic schist) of up to 150m apparent thickness in outcrop. Rock chip and soil sampling of this material is underway. Once all Joint Venture issues are finalised, the Company will undertake an accelerated exploration strategy over a variety of uranium targets that includes the Oryx prospect, where uranium mineralisation of up to 6.44% U3O8 was discovered in 2006. Mozambique Mavita Nickel Project Field exploration has recommenced at the Mavita nickel project in Mozambique, following up on the discovery of nickel sulphides in the 2006 field season. The planned exploration programme at Mavita includes the completion of over 50 line km of IP geophysical surveys, detailed geological mapping, soil and rock chip sampling. Commenting on the announcement Jim Kerr, Managing Director of Zambezi Nickel said, "Following the discovery in March of nickel sulphides at the Mavita project, the Company is focused on identifying specific target areas for drill testing. At the Mpande uranium project, we are encouraged by our initial reconnaissance and look forward to receiving the results of the rock chip and soil sampling as well as finalising the uranium JV with Zambezi Resources."

With respect to the four exploration licences, the Company can increase its uranium rights in the Chumbwe licence to 75% by completing a definitive feasibility study over the Oryx prospect. It can also increase its uranium rights to 75% over the other three licences by completing a definitive feasibility study on any one uranium resource. Should a decision to progress to a mining operation be made, Zambezi Resources can elect to contribute pro rata or dilute to a 2.5% Net Smelter Return royalty. About the Mavita Project Memorandum of Understanding The Mavita project comprises two granted exploration licences that are the subject of a Memorandum of Understanding with BHP Billiton, under which Zambezi Nickel must spend US$150,000 to earn 100% of the licences, with BHP Billiton retaining a clawback right should Zambezi discover a JORC compliant resource containing > 200,000 tonnes of contained nickel. Should BHP Billiton exercise its clawback rights, it will assume control and funding of exploration for up to 1 year, after which it may elect to reimburse Zambezi 250% of total exploration expenditure on the licences. At this stage, Zambezi will dilute to a 2.5% Net Smelter Return royalty. Zambezi has fulfilled its earn-in obligations under the MOU and the licences are currently being transferred from BHP Billiton subsidiary WMC Resources Exploration Pty Ltd to Zambezi Nickel.
