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."
