Nine Mile Metals Ltd. has entered into an agreement dated Sept. 14, 2023, with Lorena Hamilton, to acquire an additional 5.06 square kilometres, consisting of 23 claim units, adjacent to its California Lake and Nine Mile Brook VMS (volcanogenic massive sulphide) projects in the Bathurst mining camp (BMC), New Brunswick. This acquisition brings the total land package in the BMC to an impressive 137.81 square km.

Patrick J. Cruickshank, chief executive officer and director, stated: "We are pleased to announce we have added strategic claims to our western flank of our California Lake VMS project. This now allows us to explore the entire trend that our new technology has identified. We are advancing and building a high-quality portfolio in the Nine Mile synform region of the BMC. We look forward to including these claims in our final target analysis to be announced shortly."

"The newly acquired claims cover sequences of felsic volcanics and various geological contacts known to host VMS mineralization along strike to both the north and south of the acquired ground. To the north is Ahearn Brook, with select assays up to 209.14 g/t Ag [grams per tonne silver], 2.26 per cent Cu [copper], 16.6 per cent Pb [lead] and 29.1 per cent Zn [zinc]. In the west, the Strachens Lake Brook occurrence is on the south flank, with reported assays up to 32.57 g/t Ag, 0.39 per cent Cu, 0.51 per cent Pb and 3.14 per cent Zn. The addition of these claims greatly enhances our exploration potential in this portion of the BMC," stated Gary Lohman, BSc, PGeo, vice-president of exploration and director.

Pursuant to the agreement, the company intends to acquire the new claims for 550,000 common shares of the company, which will have a four-month hold legend. In addition, there is a 2-per-cent net smelter royalty (NSR) on the new claims derived from metallic mineral production. The company has the right to purchase the 50 per cent of the 2-per-cent NSR from the vendors for $1-million at any time prior to commencement of commercial production. The vendor is at arm's-length from the company. Completion of the acquisition will take place on Sept. 26, 2023.
