[{"type":"text","content":"Nine Mile Metals Drills 76.10 Meters of Mineralization in Drill Hole WD-24-04Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 12, 2024) - NINE MILE METALS LTD. (CSE: NINE) (OTCQB: VMSXF) (FSE: KQ9) (the \"Company\" or \"Nine Mile\") is pleased to announce it has drilled a mineralized zone covering 76.10 m in WD-24-04 at its initial Phase 1 drill program on its Wedge VMS Project in the world-famous Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick (\"BMC\").WD-24-04 HIGHLIGHTS:The hole was collared on the northeast flank of the Wedge Deposit approximately 40 meters east of WD-24-02 and at an azimuth of 160 degrees and a dip of - 50 degrees to a depth of 167 meters. From recently acquired Cominco Data, the subsurface was not mined.The closest Cominco holes to the east are approximately 40 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.The main host is pyritic Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) with visible chalcopyrite and local sphalerite.Copper mineralization first appears at 71 meters and continued down the hole with numerous secondary zones (117.00 - 122.00 m) of VMS and banded copper bearing pyritic mineralization.Hi grade zinc (22.58% & 13.82%) was intersected in addition to copper. (see Table 1)Nine Mile completed an XRF Analysis at the base of the mineralization between 136.86 - 147.10 meters (10.24 meters) consisting of bands of massive sulphides with visible copper (chalcopyrite) and zinc (Sphalerite) mineralization. (See table #1 below.) The entire sequence from 71.00 - 147.10 meters is in the process of cutting prior to shipping to ALS Global in Moncton for analysis.We will continue to Drill to the east in Target Area #1 to confirm new extension of the Wedge Mine Ore Zone.Figure 1: Massive VMS Mineralization: Drill Hole WD-24-04 To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7335/201339_fd6888aec4445874_001full.jpgSample #From (m)To (m)Width (m)Cu %Pb (%)Zn (%)(Pb + Zn) %Ag (g/t)Au (g/t)686039136.85137.861.011.910.030.160.19TBDTBD686040137.86138.750.890.130.010.190.2TBDTBD686041138.75139.580.830.170.020.140.16TBDTBD686042139.58140.581.001.220.220.490.71TBDTBD686043140.58141.581.004.810.090.710.8TBDTBD686044141.58142.581.002.590.030.120.15TBDTBD686045142.58143.581.001.530.253.463.71TBDTBD686046143.58144.581...
