Nine Mile Metals Provides Drilling Program Update at Flagship Nine Mile Book VMS Project
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NINE MILE METALS LTD. (CSE: NINE, OTCQB: VMSXF, FSE: KQ9) (the “Company” or “Nine Mile”), is pleased to provide an update on the drill program at its flagship Nine Mile Brook VMS Project in the world famous, Bathurst Mining Camp (“BMC”) in New Brunswick. Following data analysis and interpretation by EarthEX Geophysical Solutions Inc. (“EarthEX”) of a 21-line kilometer Induced Polarization (I.P.) survey conducted over the Lens, Islands and Hinge A target areas, a total of eighteen (18) high priority drill holes have been proposed to intersect a variety of high chargeable, conductive, resistive, and magnetic anomalies (Figure 1). This was the direct result of the orientation grid conducted last October that compared IP vs EM designed surveys. The surprising result was that the IP Chargeability of our Willett Lens drill core yielded an extremely high signature that challenged the EM conductivity response. Prior to drilling, EarthEX recommended we conduct a 21-line km IP survey for target definition. This was chosen to identify the copper-gold component of additional Lens’ and the source deposits. The Lantech drill team commenced the drill program on December 4, 2022, completing (3) Lens Area target holes (T03-B, T04-A and Lens Hole NM2208) totaling 521m.

- “After a very successful California Lake VMS Drill Program, we were extremely eager to drill our Flagship Nine Mile Brook VMS Project.
- The team looks forward, to the continued drill program in this target rich environment” stated Gary Lohman, B.Sc., P.
