(CSE: NINE, OTCQB: VMSXF, FSE: KQ9) (the “Company” or “Nine Mile”) is pleased to announce the ALS Global Labs certified assay results for VMS target holes CL2208 and CL2211 at its initial Phase 1 drill program at its California Lake VMS Project in the world-famous Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick (“BMC”). Highlights: VMS Target Hole CL2211 was a step out hole collared approximately 20 meters north of discovery hole CL2206 and drilled to a depth of 80 meters intersecting (4) zones of massive VMS mineralization between 51.10 and 62.00 meters (10.90m.) Section From (m) To (m) Width (m) Cu % Pb (%) Zn (%) (Pb + Zn) % Ag (g/t) Au (g/t) OVERALL 51.10 62.00 10.90 0.07 0.98 3.33 4.31 29.76 0.40 including 51.10 56.00 4.90 0.11 1.95 6.27 8.22 58.58 0.77 including 54.04 56.00 1.96 0.21 3.72 11.54 15.26 123.67 1.80 Including 59.63 62.00 2.17 0.06 0.43 2.27 2.70 13.39 0.22 VMS Target Hole CL2208 was collared near hole CL2206 and drilled at an azimuth of 312 degrees to a depth of 89 meters intersecting visible massive VMS mineralization between 65.33 and 72.50 meters (7.17m.). Section From (m) To (m) Width (m) Cu (%) Pb (%) Zn (%) (Pb + Zn) % Ag (g/t) Au (g/t) OVERALL 65.33 72.50 7.17 0.06 1.18 3.79 4.97 30.68 0.41 including 67.33 72.50 5.17 0.09 1.64 5.25 6.89 42.35 0.56 including 67.33 70.50 3.17 0.14 2.65 8.50 11.15 68.44 0.91 VMS mineralization in both drill holes was again dominated by Zn, Ag & Au mineralization, with individual sample sections up to 11.54 % Zn, 123 g/t Ag & 1.70 g/t Au. Pb mineralization was much more discreet. Both drill holes demonstrate that the multiple mineralized zones are open in both directions along strike and depth. Patrick J Cruickshank, MBA, CEO & Director stated, “As these assays display, we are pleased to announce that the widths on these holes clearly demonstrate a good system was identified here at eastern flank of our California Lake VMS Project. To have a 10.90m mineralized finger system with these results, only 50m below surface, is extraordinary. We are also highly encouraged by the Ag & Au results in this system and are highly motivated for the 2023 follow up...
