Nine Mile Metals Announces Drill Hole WD-24-03 Certified Assay Results of 1.58% Copper Equivalent (Cu-Eq) over 32.10m Including 2.60% Cu-Eq over 16.15m and 3.61% Cu-Eq over 8.15m

29.05.2024  |  Newsfile

Vancouver, May 29, 2024 - Nine Mile Metals Ltd. (CSE: NINE) (OTCQB: VMSXF) (FSE: KQ9) (the "Company" or "Nine Mile") is pleased to announce 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.

WD-24-03 HIGHLIGHTS:

  • 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%.

Copper Equivalent (Cu-Eq) for drill intersections is calculated based on May 13, 2024, pricing: US$ 4.75/lb Cu, US$ 1.02/lb Pb, US$ 1.36/lb Zn, US$ 28.48/oz Ag, and US$ 2343/oz Au, with 80% metallurgical recoveries assumed for all metals. Since it is unclear which metals will be the principal products, assuming different recoveries is premature at this stage. Therefore, an 80% recovery rate is justified.

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.

"We continue to intersect base and precious metal mineralization at The Wedge. In this drill hole, there is a distinct Pb/Zn zone at the upper contact, with visible galena present. As with other drill holes, the lead is associated with increased silver mineralization. We look forward to reporting the remaining drill holes and commencing our summer program," commented Gary Lohman, P.Geo., VP Exploration & Director.

Patrick J. Cruickshank, MBA, CEO & Director, stated, "Once again, we have a strong width of mineralization in this hole, with copper and silver leading the way. We have had a few holes now with over 1.0 oz per ton of Ag. The Wedge Target Area #1 continues to impress us with the width and grades of these drill holes. This is developing a strong story for the eastern extension of this deposit. We look forward to our upcoming BHEM survey at this base hole area to assist our advanced geophysical processing analysis in preparation for our Phase 2 program at the Wedge Target. We still have The Wedge Target Area #2 and the western extension to pursue shortly."
