WD-26-18, drilled to 302 m on the northeast edge of the pattern, returned 7.13% Cu-Eq over 11.65 m from 130.70 m to 142.35 m (78.79 g/t Ag, 1.40 g/t Au, 3.23% Cu, 1.43% Pb and 3.80% Zn), including 9.93% Cu-Eq over 6.70 m and 10.46% Cu-Eq over 4.80 m. An upper stringer zone returned 0.40% Cu-Eq over 31.50 m from 68.50 m to 100.00 m (1.38 g/t Ag, 0.04 g/t Au, 0.30% Cu, 0.01% Pb and 0.10% Zn). The company states the reported intersections are true widths.

WD-26-15, collared in the southwest of the pattern, was drilled to 131 m. It cut 4.88% Cu-Eq over 7.60 m true width from 114.50 m to 122.10 m (34.89 g/t Ag, 0.68 g/t Au, 1.56% Cu, 1.72% Pb and 6.59% Zn) and a second band of 2.89% Cu-Eq over 1.20 m from 128.60 m to 129.80 m. The release states both intersections are true width. Additional holes from the first half of the 10,000 m Phase 3 program were still to be reported, and eight borehole EM surveys were still planned.

A second drill rig was on site at the Tribag-West Wedge target area, about 3.0 km northwest of the Wedge Mine, to test seven modelled TDEM conductor plates. Drilling at Tribag was expected to start in the coming days, while Phase 3 drilling continued at the Wedge Mine. The release restates 18 holes and 4,934.50 m completed as of September 21, of the 10,000 m program, and eight borehole EM surveys commencing on perimeter holes.

WD-26-11, collared in the southwest and drilled to 149 m, cut two VMS zones reported as true width. The upper zone returned 3.27% Cu-Eq over 9.30 m from 89.90 m to 99.20 m, including 4.12% Cu-Eq over 4.20 m, and 4.37% Cu-Eq over 0.50 m from 102.90 m to 103.40 m below a 3.70 m void. The lower zone returned 3.08% Cu-Eq over 10.70 m from 110.50 m to 121.20 m, including 4.30% Cu-Eq over 5.00 m. The release title also states the two zones over 27.6 m. The same release reported 18 holes and 4,934.50 m completed of the 10,000 m program. The company news page is dated September 22; the release dateline is September 21.

About the project
Wedge is a volcanogenic massive sulphide project in New Brunswick’s Bathurst Mining Camp. Nine Mile is expanding known lenses around the historic Wedge Mine with systematic drilling and borehole EM follow-up.
The 2026 Phase 3 program is a planned 10,000 m campaign on western extensions and depth of copper-rich VMS lenses. As of September 21 the company reported 4,934.50 m in 18 holes. A second rig was on site at Tribag-West Wedge on October 1. WD-26-11, WD-26-15 and WD-26-18 intervals are reported as true widths. The October 15 release also reported the acquisition of two claim blocks totalling 14.42 km² at the separate Nine Mile Brook project.
