Nine Mile Metals intersects new copper-rich VMS zone at Wedge Mine

Nine Mile Metals CEO Patrick Cruickshank joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on drilling at the company’s Wedge Mine project, where hole DDH WD-26-02 has successfully intersected multiple zones of copper-bearing mineralization, including a newly identified volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) horizon at depth. Cruickshank said the drill hole intersected base metal sulphides, pyrite, and chalcopyrite mineralization from 39.2 metres to 273.35 metres, confirming the presence of a large and robust mineralized system. Two distinct copper-bearing VMS horizons were identified, including a newly discovered lower zone that management views as particularly significant. The first mineralized interval was encountered between 105.8 metres and 114.3 metres, returning an 8.5-metre zone characterized by abundant pyrite and visible chalcopyrite within black sedimentary units. A second and newly identified copper-rich VMS horizon was intersected between 204.6 metres and 222.3 m...
