NINE MILE METALS ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF DDH WD-25-02 AND CONTINUES TO CONFIRM (2) ZONES OF COPPER RICH VMS MINERALIZATION AT THE WEDGE PROJECT DRILL PROGRAM

The second drill hole in Nine Mile Metals Ltd.'s Wedge western extension drill program (DDH-WD-25-02) has been completed and the third hole (DDH-WD-25-02B) is in progress:

• DDH WD-25-02 was collared on the same drill pad as WD-25-01, and drilled at an azimuth of 310 degrees and a dip of minus 50 degrees to intersect the first plate approximately 50 metres (m) west of hole WD-25-01, increasing the mineralized zone along strike, to the west. The hole was completed at 203 m at depth.
• DDH WD-25-02 was successful, intersecting massive copper-bearing sulphides (VMS (volcanogenic massive sulphide) -- Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au (copper, lead, zinc, silver and gold)).
• Massive copper-bearing sulphides (VMS -- Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au) were found associated with the contact breccia at 139 m depth with a second zone of massive copper bearing sulphides (VMS -- Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au) intersected at 155 m, having an approximately true width of 20 m.
• The sulphide mineralogy in WD-25-02 is readily visible, especially the massive copper mineralization. Chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) occurs as masses, streaks and blebs while more local Pb-Zn mineralization is well banded with sphalerite (Zn) the dominant sulphide. Local bornite (Cu5FeS4) and covellite (CuS) are visibly present; the bornite displays its characteristic "purple peacock copper bloom" and covellite its "blue copper."
• All drill core has been measured, logged, photographed, marked and cut for sampling at the company's warehouse in Bathurst, N.B. A quick XRF (X-ray radio frequency) analysis was also completed for sulphide confirmation -- filtering and width identification in definition for sampling core for Actlabs analysis. A total of 55 sections have been identified for base and precious metals analysis, including antimony, for Actlabs, Fredericton, B.C.

Gary Lohman, vice-president of exploration, director, stated: "We are pleased with our technical preparation of this drill program and quality of our Lens targeting. The western extension of this deposit is robust and copper rich -- very positive to confirm the thickness of this plate intersection as we stepped approximately 50 m west of DDH-WD-25-01. Our data modelling suggests a third potential zone of mineralization, which Mike Dufresne, of Apex Geoscience, is modelling and designing potential drill holes to test that prospective zone from the western flank area, thus avoiding a sheer zone from the south. We look forward to moving to the northwest area of this extension program."

Patrick J. Cruickshank, MBA, chief executive officer and director, stated: "Once again, we have intersected quality mineralization at the desired target plates at DDH-25-02, as designed and set out by our technical team. The visible mineralization and copper-rich sulphides is just spectacular. The presence of bornite and covellite is a strong indicator of the quality of this deposit. This western flank area is being confirmed as a rich copper lens, one hole at a time. We are on track to increase the Wedge mine's mineralized footprint to the west and at depth. The next drill hole in our campaign is DDH-WD-25-02B, which is under way, and we look forward to sharing our next summary update shortly."
