(CSE: NINE) (OTCQB: VMSXF) (FSE: KQ9) (the \"Company\" or \"Nine Mile\") is pleased to announce it has drilled a mineralized zone covering 134.0m in WD-24-02 at its initial Phase 1 drill program on its Wedge VMS Project in the world-famous Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick (\"BMC\").WD-24-02 HIGHLIGHTS:The hole was collared on the northeast flank of the Wedge Deposit and drilled at an azimuth of 160 degrees and a dip of - 50 degrees to a depth of 219 meters. From recently acquired Cominco Data, the subsurface was not mined.The main host is pyritic Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) with visible chalcopyrite.Copper mineralization first appears at 39.6 meters and continued down the hole with numerous secondary zones of VMS mineralization identified.High grade zinc (36.12% & 14.93%) was intersected in addition to copper. (see Table 1)Nine Mile completed an XRF Analysis of a random zone of mineralization between 157.65 - 173.05 meters (15.4 meters) consisting of bands of mixed massive sulphides and massive sulphides (VMS) between 164.50 - 170.25 meters. (See table #1 below.) Entire mineralized zone of 134.0m has been sample cut and being shipped to ALS Global Labs for Certified Lab AnalysisThe closest Cominco holes to the east are approximately 70 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.We will continue to Drill to the east in Target Area #1 to confirm new extension of the Wedge Mine Ore Zone.Massive VMS Mineralization: Drill Hole WD-24-02To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7335/200278_ninemilesmassivevmsimage.jpg  Copper and Zinc Mineralization, Drill hole WD-24-02To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7335/200278_e1730b9724fa88b9_002full.jpgSample #From (m)To (m)Width (m)Cu %Pb (%)Zn (%)(Pb + Zn) %Ag (g/t)Au (g/t)281627157.65158.500.851.480.040.400.44TBDTBD281628158.50159.551.050.940.010.320.33TBDTBD281629159.55160.500.954.160.020.370.39TBDTBD281630160.50161.501.005.010.020.480.50TBDTBD281631161.50162.501.006...
