en.Wedoany.com Reported - Nine Mile Metals announced significant results from drill hole WD-25-2B at its Wedge Property in New Brunswick, Canada. Certified assay results show the hole returned 15 meters @ 3.17% copper equivalent, including a high-grade interval of 6.84 meters @ 5.99% copper equivalent.
Nine Mile Metals is a Canadian mineral exploration company. Public information indicates the company focuses on exploring for metals such as copper, lead, zinc, silver, and gold within the Bathurst Mining Camp. This exploration breakthrough at the Wedge Property further demonstrates the company's technical capabilities and resource potential in the field of metal exploration.
Vice President of Exploration, Gary Lohmann, revealed that ongoing drilling continues to discover large-scale copper mineralization in the western part of the Wedge Property. The company plans to conduct Borehole Electromagnetic (BHEM) surveys on previous holes from last fall before the new drilling campaign commences in May 2026. These surveys will focus on new Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS) zones and associated high-grade copper mineralization areas, including the Northwest and Southwest regions, aiming to accurately target objectives and provide a scientific basis for subsequent drilling.
CEO Patrick Cruickshank stated that the company has observed copper, copper-associated silver, copper-associated gold, and the traditional CMS lens model. He noted, "If the drill hole had not been terminated due to faulting and water loss, a special high-grade copper-silver lens could have been discovered." Assay results from drill hole DDHWD-25-01 support this assessment. This hole intersected 22.65 meters of fine-grained pyritic Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS), confirming the presence of deep copper, gold, and silver mineralization, with some samples grading up to 1.21 g/t gold and 50.33 g/t silver.
Based on the current results, Nine Mile intends to drill from the other side of the fault to fully expose the lens and evaluate its scale. Cruickshank emphasized that the Phase III spring drilling program will focus on the best-exposed locations for deposit value, which is expected to further reveal the economic and high-grade potential of the Wedge Property.
This exploration breakthrough not only injects new momentum into Nine Mile's resource reserves but also provides an important reference for metal mineral development in New Brunswick. With the advancement of subsequent drilling and surveys, the Wedge Property may become a new focal point in the metal mining sector of eastern Canada.
