Nine Mile Metals Ltd. announced it has drilled a mineralized zone covering 76.10 m in WD-24-04 at its initial Phase 1 drill program on its Wedge VMS Project in the world-famous Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick. WD-24-04 HIGHLIGHTS: The hole was collared on the northeast flank of the Wedge Deposit approximately 40 meters east of WD-24-02 and at an azimuth of 160 degrees and a dip of - 50 degrees to a depth of 167 meters. From recently acquired Cominco Data, the subsurface was not mined.

The closest Cominco holes to the east are approximately 40 meters away with Drill hole WE-12 intersecting 5.76 meters assaying 1.06% Cu,1.59% Pb and 6.91% Zn and 1.26 ounces Ag. The main host is pyritic Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) with visible chalcopyrite and local sphalerite. Copper mineralization first appears at 71 meters and continued down the hole with numerous secondary zones (117.00 - 122.00 m) of VMS and banded copper bearing pyritic mineralization.

Hi grade zinc (22.58% & 13.82%) was intersected in addition to copper. Nine Mile completed an XRF Analysis at the base of the mineralization between 136.86 - 147.10 meters (10.24 meters) consisting of bands of massive sulphides with visible copper (chalcopyrite) and zinc (Sphalerite) mineralization. The entire sequence from 71.00 - 147.10 meters is in the process of cutting prior to shipping to ALS Global in Moncton for analysis.

The company will continue to Drill to the east in Target Area #1 to confirm new extension of the Wedge Mine Ore Zone. The Company has completed its XRF analysis for the main VMS portion of the drill hole utilizing an Olympus Vanta 50 Portable XRF equipped with a 50Kv Workstation and Reflex XRF software. The XRF process included calibrating the machine and utilizing three standards in the sample stream (OREAS 502B, OREAS 622 and CDN-BL-10 Blank) at the beginning and end of the analytical sequence.

Most samples consisted of a 1-meter section of cut drill core, and as such, the sample was not homogeneous. There were fifteen Sample Batches over 15.40 meters of mineralization. Each sample batch had approximately 15 -21 data points analyzed per meter.

The core sample is placed cut face down, and the XRF gun takes a random unknown sample of the core. The operator has no knowledge of the laser point. The sum of the averages was divided by the number of pieces.
