Nine Mile Metals Ltd. reports mineral exploration developments for volcanogenic massive sulphide, or VMS, targets in the Bathurst Mining Camp of New Brunswick, Canada. The company focuses on copper, lead, zinc, silver and gold mineralization across the Wedge VMS Project, Nine Mile Brook VMS Project, California Lake VMS Project and Canoe Landing Lake East-West VMS Project.
Company news commonly covers drill program summaries, certified assay results, copper-equivalent mineralization intervals, geological modeling, borehole electromagnetic surveying and metallurgical or bulk-sample work. Technical releases reference Canadian NI 43-101 mineral project disclosure standards and describe exploration activity tied to critical minerals used in electric-vehicle and green-technology supply chains.
Nine Mile Metals (OTC: VMSXF) announced certified assay results from surface sampling at the Wedge VMS Project, Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick on December 29, 2025. Highlights include assays up to 15.00% Cu (sample 280460) and copper-equivalent values to 16.64% Cu-Eq. Multiple samples returned >10% Cu and several returned >14% Cu-Eq (samples 280461–280464).
Samples were analyzed by ActLabs using UT-7 fusion methods with ore-grade follow-up and 30g fire assay for gold. Cu-Eq was calculated using December 16, 2025 metal prices and an assumed 80% metallurgical recovery.
Nine Mile Metals (OTC: VMSXF) completed diamond drill hole DDH WD-25-02B at the Wedge western extension on Dec 22, 2025, reaching a final depth of 122 m and intersecting massive copper-bearing VMS mineralization from 56.4 m to 122.0 m (≈66 m). Visible chalcopyrite was reported and XRF screening confirmed strong copper presence. The hole was collared ~60 m northwest of WD-25-01, expanding the mineralized footprint westward. Fault-zone ground conditions forced termination at 122 m; a permit-required follow-up hole from the other side of the fault is planned in Phase 2 (2026).
All core was logged, photographed, cut and sampled; 27 three‑metre sections were shipped to ALS Global (Moncton) for rush assays including base and precious metals and antimony.
Nine Mile Metals (OTC: VMSXF) reported ALS-certified surface assay results from the Wedge VMS Project, Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick on December 17, 2025. Key highlights include maximum CuEq 15.21% (sample 280366) and multiple high-grade samples: 11.28% CuEq (280381), 10.32% CuEq (280376), and 9.82% CuEq (280370).
Historical context: the original Wedge mine produced 1.5 million tonnes of mainly copper ore (1962–1968); company modelling suggests >60% of the deposit remains at depth. Assays were prepared in Moncton and analyzed in Vancouver by ALS Global. CuEq used metal prices dated December 16, 2025, with an 80% assumed recovery.
Nine Mile Metals (OTC: VMSXF) reported completion of drill hole DDH-WD-25-02 on December 3, 2025, with the hole reaching 203 m depth and a follow-up hole DDH-WD-25-02B underway.
DDH-WD-25-02, collared on the same pad as WD-25-01 at azimuth 310° and dip -50°, intersected two zones of visible, massive copper-bearing VMS sulphides at 139 m and 155 m (approximate true width 20 m), expanding the mineralized lens about 50 m west along strike. Core was logged, photographed, cut and 55 sections were submitted to Actlabs for base and precious metal analysis including antimony.
Nine Mile Metals (OTC: VMSXF) completed drill hole DDH WD-25-01 at the Wedge Western Extension program on November 26, 2025 and is progressing on DDH WD-25-02. WD-25-01 intersected approximately 22.40 metres true width of massive copper-bearing VMS (Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au) in Target Plate 1 and a second sulphide zone in Target Plate 2.
A total of 65 core sample sections were identified for base and precious metal assays (including antimony) to be analyzed by Actlabs Fredericton. Core has been logged, photographed, cut and prepared for assay; WD-25-02 was drilled from the same pad to test the plate ~40 metres further west along strike.
Nine Mile Metals (OTC: VMSXF) reported Phase 3 portable XRF results from 18 ore samples at the Wedge copper‑gold project, Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick on November 5, 2025. Highlights include a top XRF reading of 26.14% Cu and 1.03% Sb (sample 280461) and visible covellite in samples 280461 and 280463. Of 18 ore samples, 9 returned >=14.22% Cu. Multiple samples from the proposed Upper Zone western extension averaged high copper values (see Table 1).
All Phase 3 samples were forwarded to Actlabs (Fredericton) for certified assays of Ag and Au; the XRF program used an Olympus Vanta 50 with two standards (OREAS622, CDN-BL-10) and triplicate readings per sample. Drill targeting and technical interpretation are underway with planned Apex-designed holes to test identified lenses and depth extensions below 150 m.
Nine Mile Metals (OTC: VMSXF) announced mobilization of an Orbit Garant YS2000 skid-mounted drill rig for the Wedge copper-gold drill program. The rig is enroute from Sudbury and is expected at Orbit Garant's Dieppe facility on Nov 3, 2025 for servicing and winterization, with onsite arrival in Bathurst targeted for Nov 10, 2025.
The program will test the newly targeted western extension and depth of the deposit using up to 7 drill holes (5 Upper Zone, 2 Lower Zone) modelled by Apex Geoscience. All holes will be capped for downhole BHEM geophysics and integrated into the company's 3D live geological, geophysical and drillhole models.
Orbit Garant is ECOLOGO accredited and operates a large fleet (~185 rigs) with over 1,000 employees, supporting the campaign's execution.
