NINE MILE METALS ANNOUNCES DRILL RIG MOBILIZATION FOR THE WEDGE COPPER - GOLD DRILL PROGRAM

Orbit Garant has mobilized a YS2000 skid-mounted drill rig for the coming Wedge drill program of Nine Mile Metals Ltd. The drill rig is en route from Sudbury, Ont., and is anticipated to arrive at Orbit Garant's facility in Dieppe, N.B., on Nov. 3, for hydraulic servicing and winterization. The expected arrival on site in Bathurst is Monday, Nov. 10.

Last year's successful drill program concentrated on the new eastern extension of the Wedge mine and expanded the footprint of the deposit, supporting a new geophysical technology and interpretation modelling. This drill program focuses on the new western extension of the deposit and will also be testing the model at depth. Apex Geoscience, Mike Dufresne, PGeo, technical adviser, has modelled up to seven drill holes, five Upper zone and two Lower zone, testing the western copper zone and the body at depth. The objective is to obtain the depth of mineralization of this higher-grade copper lens and to prove a larger western footprint, adding new tonnage to the deposit model. Upon completion, it will add the new drill data to its 3-D live modelling, including geological, geophysical and drill hole cross-section results.

Headquartered in Val d'Or, Que., Orbit Garant Drilling is one of Canada's largest drilling companies providing both underground and surface drilling services in Canada and internationally. With more than 185 drill rigs and over 1,000 specialized employees, Orbit Garant offers drilling services to major, intermediate and junior mining companies at every stage of mine exploration, development and production.

Gary Lohman, vice-president, exploration, and director, stated: "We are looking forward to testing both the western extension and the depth of the deposit with the drill holes designed by Mike Dufresne and the geophysical team at Apex Geoscience. With previous mining and exploration limited to the upper portions of the deposit, this series of drill holes will expand the mineralized footprint as we accomplished in the east, adding to the resource. All drill holes will be capped on completion to facilitate downhole geophysics (BHEM), which, along with the cross-section drill results, assists in resource 3-D modelling and exploration planning. We look forward to sharing our first results."
