NINE MILE METALS ANNOUNCES CERTIFIED ASSAYS OF 0.44% COPPER OVER 136.31M IN DRILL HOLE WD-24-02, INCLUDING 1.32% CU - 8.84 G/T AG OVER 40M, AT THE WEDGE MINE, BATHURST, NEW BRUNSWICK

Nine Mile Metals Ltd. has received certified assays for drill hole WD-24-02 at the Wedge mine situated in the renowned Bathurst mining camp in New Brunswick.

WD-24-02 HIGHLIGHTS:

• Drill hole WD-24-02 confirms the presence of a new, larger mineralized system at the Wedge VMS Project, intersecting three mineralized zones spanning from 36.74m to 173.05m. This 136.31m width assays 0.44% Cu, 0.07% Pb, 0.54% Zn, 0.06 g/t Au and 3.52 g/t Ag.
• Three zones of visual mineralization were identified: (1) 36.74m-49.90m, (2) 88.90m-110.00m, and (3) 134.00m-174.00m, with the sulphide mineralogy primarily consisting of pyrite and lesser chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and galena.
• The Main Copper Zone occurs between 134.00m and 174.00m, spanning 40.00m and assaying 1.32% Cu, 0.21% Pb, 1.54% Zn, 8.8g/t Ag, and 0.164 g/t Au (refer to Table 1).
• Included in the above main copper zone, 157.65m - 173.05m (15.40m) assayed 2.03% Cu, 0.52% Pb, 3.73% Zn, 0.34 g/t Au, and 20.35 g/t Ag (refer to Table 2).
• The hole was collared on the northeast flank of the historic Wedge Deposit and drilled at an azimuth of 160 degrees and a dip of -50 degrees to a depth of 219.5m.
• Zinc mineralization coincides with copper, with a distinct higher-grade zone intersected at the base of the main copper zone.
• Recent acquisition of Cominco Data confirms that the subsurface was not previously mined.
• The closest Cominco holes in this area of the Wedge are approximately 70m east.

Patrick J. Cruickshank, MBA, CEO & Director, expressed, "We are thrilled to release the certified assays for our successful Wedge drill hole WD-24-02 in the Target 1 extension zone of the Historic Wedge Mine, confirming unmined mineralization. The 136.31m mineralization represents a highly positive development, delineating three specific zones and indicating the presence of a larger mineralized system, displaying a larger system exists. Our ongoing mandate to define an expanded footprint and increased tonnage at this Copper Rich Deposit is well underway. The newly acquired Cominco historic drill hole data sets (surface & underground) is currently being modelled for 3D analysis. We will incorporate this summary of the drill program information, including the results, and we are confident it will paint a very compelling picture of the site. The Wedge Project is increasingly becoming a significant asset for Nine Mile Metals, and we look forward to being able to explore our other high priority targets within the Wedge Project area, including the West Wedge, Tribag and Target #6 (Wedge Target North), which was recently acquired and is potentially linked to the same system encountered in our successful California Lake East VMS Drill Program in 2022. The target spans both the California East & Wedge Project Land packages."

"Drill Hole WD-24-02 demonstrates that significant copper mineralization over substantial widths remain at the historic Wedge mine site to the east and southeast of the previous workings. Subsequent to the start of the 2024 drill program, the Cominco drill data was acquired and is presently being digitized to facilitate 3D modeling. We look forward to merging the 2024 drill data when assaying is complete with the historical information in order to best plan a stage 2 program at the Wedge," commented Gary Lohman, PGO, VP Exploration & Director.
