# Nine Mile Metals Announces Completion of DDH WD-25-02B and Continues to Confirm (2) Zones of Copper Rich VMS with 66 Meters of Mineralization at the Wedge Project *2025-12-22T08:00:00-05:00* Nine Mile Metals Announces Completion of DDH WD-25-02B and Continues to Confirm (2) Zones of Copper Rich VMS with 66 Meters of Mineralization at the Wedge Project Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 22, 2025) - **NINE MILE METALS LTD. (CSE: NINE) (OTC Pink: VMSXF) (FSE: KQ9)**(the "**Company**" or "**Nine Mile**") is pleased to announce that the 3rddrill hole in its Wedge Western Extension Drill Program (DDH-WD-25-02B) has been completed. - **DDH WD-25-02B **was collared approximately 60 meters northwest of WD-25-01 and drilled at an azimuth of 325 degrees and a dip of -50 degrees to a final depth of 122 meters further increasing the mineralized footprint of the target to the west (Figure 3). - **DDH WD-25-02B**was successful, with massive copper bearing sulphides (VMS - Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au) found associated with the contact breccia at 56.4m depth with mineralization continuing to 122 meters. - The sulphide mineralization in the drill hole occurred in both sediments and volcanics, terminating in massive copper bearing sulphides (VMS - Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au) with visible Chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) as seen in Figure 1. - Downhole ground conditions in the fault zone (sand seams, gouge) led to the termination of the drill hole at 122 meters, as we were drilling through a massive copper zone (Figure 1). - Most Sample sections between 53.0 and 122.0 meters were 3 meters in length, to provide the best overall data for the drill hole. Smaller sample widths were identified and cut where appropriate. - With massive mineralization present at the base of the drill hole, a new drill hole is being designed by the Technical Team, to be initiated from the other side of the fault zone, (New - to be permitted) in Phase 2 - 2026. **FIGURE 1: Visible VMS Quality Mineralization, Massive Chalcopyrite (CuFeS****2 ****) - Samples cut for Lab Processing** [](https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7335/278797_be7c233be4cc7b5b_002full.jpg) To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: [https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7335/278797_be7c233be4cc7b5b_002full.jpg](https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7335/278797_be7c233be4cc7b5b_002full.jpg) [](https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7335/278797_be7c233be4cc7b5b_003full.jpg) To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: [https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7335/278797_be7c233be4cc7b5b_003full.jpg](https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7335/278797_be7c233be4cc7b5b_003full.jpg) **FIGURE 2: Massive Copper Mineralization Throughout Cut Drill Core in DDH WD-25-02B Sample Section** [](https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7335/278797_be7c233be4cc7b5b_004full.jpg) To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: [https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7335/278797_be7c233be4cc7b5b_004full.jpg](https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7335/278797_be7c233be4cc7b5b_004full.jpg) [](https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7335/278797_be7c233be4cc7b5b_005full.jpg) To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: [https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7335/278797_be7c233be4cc7b5b_005full.jpg](https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7335/278797_be7c233be4cc7b5b_005full.jpg) [](https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7335/278797_be7c233be4cc7b5b_006full.jpg) **FIGURE 3: Drill Hole Locations, WD-25-01, WD-25-02B** To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: [https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7335/278797_be7c233be4cc7b5b_006full.jpg](https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7335/278797_be7c233be4cc7b5b_006full.jpg) All drill core has been measured, logged, photographed, marked and cut for sampling at the company's warehouse in Bathurst, New Brunswick. A quick XRF analysis was also completed for sulphide confirmation - filtering and width identification in definition for sampling core for ALS Global. A total of (27) 3 meter sections have been identified for Base and Pr
