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) 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.

Nine Mile Metals (OTCQB: VMSXF) reported Phase 2 portable XRF sampling from the upcoming northwestern drill area at the Wedge VMS Project, Bathurst, New Brunswick, on October 15, 2025. 35 ore samples were analyzed by an Olympus Vanta 50 XRF and averaged from three readings each.
Key highlights: highest XRF copper 17.41% Cu; 16 of 35 samples ≥4% Cu; 24 of 35 samples ≥3% Cu; many samples were >90% sulphides and predominately Cu-rich. Samples have been forwarded to ALS Global for certified assays (Au/Ag pending). The company plans drill testing, including 7 proposed apex holes to test a western extension and depth below 150 m to ~300 m.
Nine Mile Metals (OTC:VMSXF) has announced a private placement financing initiative to raise up to $400,000 through two offerings. The company plans a Flow-through (FT) placement of up to 12.5 million units at $0.02 per unit for proceeds of up to $250,000, and a Non-flow-through (NFT) placement of up to 10 million units at $0.015 per unit for proceeds of up to $150,000.
Each FT unit includes one common share and one warrant exercisable at $0.05 for 36 months. NFT units comprise one common share and a half-warrant, with full warrants exercisable at $0.05 for 36 months. The FT proceeds will fund drilling at the Wedge Project and California Lake East, while NFT proceeds will support operating expenses and working capital.
