NINE MILE METALS LTD. announced it has received certified assays for drill hole WD-24-03 at The Wedge VMS Drill Target situated in the renowned Bathurst Mining Camp (BMC), New Brunswick. Drill hole WD-24-03 was collared along the southern flank of The Wedge deposit within the footwall sediments utilizing the same drill pad as WD-24-01, drilled at an azimuth of 50 degrees and a dip of -45 degrees to a total depth of 100.00m. The drill hole successfully intersected Cu, Pb, Zn, Au, and Ag mineralization between 37.90m and 70.00m (32.10m) assaying 0.60% Cu, 0.70% Pb, 1.98% Zn, 0.21 g/t Au, and 17.03 g/t Ag with a Cu-Eq of 1.58%.

Two distinct zones of VMS mineralization were intersected within the overall section, including: Cu Zone (44.85m - 61.00m): 16.15m assaying 1.06% Cu, 1.17% Pb, 2.97% Zn, 0.35 g/t Au, and 28.64 g/t Ag with a Cu-Eq of 2.60%. Pb/Zn Zone (44.85m - 53.00m): 8.15m assaying 0.95% Cu, 2.29% Pb, 5.80% Zn, 0.65 g/t Au, and 55.16 g/t Ag with a Cu-Eq of 3.61%. Collared along the south flank of The Wedge deposit, WD-24-03 intersected graphitic footwall argillite, which was in contact with pyritized felsic volcanics and a sequence of poorly sorted mudstone.

At the base of the mudstones, the massive sulphide mineralization consisted of disseminated chalcopyrite and massive pyrite and sphalerite blebs, the latter also well-banded as seen in Figure 2. Galena was also present and is reflected in both the lead and silver assays in Table 2. The distribution of the sulphide mineralogy in WD-24-03 is quite distinct, with visible sphalerite and lesser galena noted in the upper portion, while chalcopyrite was more evenly distributed throughout the section.
