Nine Mile Metals Reports High-Grade Copper, Silver, and Gold Intercepts at Wedge Mine in New Brunswick
Nine Mile Metals Ltd., a Canadian exploration company listed on the CSE as NINE.CN (OTC: VMSXF; FRA: KQ9), has reported high-grade mineralization results from its Wedge Mine project located within the Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick. The latest drilling intersected two distinct zones of Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) mineralization containing copper, lead, zinc, silver, and gold. An upper zone returned 3.47% copper in a pyrite-rich environment, while a lower zone showed up to 117 g/t silver and 0.805 g/t gold with polymetallic content including significant levels of lead and zinc. The company's exploration team noted the robust nature of the deposit and its potential for further expansion. Gary Lohman, VP Exploration, highlighted that these results indicate a more extensive mineralized system than previously understood. CEO Patrick Cruickshank emphasized the importance of upcoming BHEM surveys to better understand subsurface geology and guide future drilling efforts. Nine Mile has completed 18 drill holes totaling nearly 5000 meters under its planned 10,000-meter program with deeper results still pending.
