Nine Mile Metals intersects 31.95m of 2.52% Cu-Eq in VMS zone

Also Including: 2.87% Cu-Eq over 27.25m and 4.15m of 5.16% Cu-Eq

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 27, 2026) - Nine Mile Metals Ltd. (CSE: NINE) (OTCID: VMSXF) (FSE: KQ9) (the "Company" or "Nine Mile") is pleased to announce assay results for DDH WD-26-10, at the Wedge Mine in the Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick.

DDH WD-26-10 was collared in the southwest, at the edge of our drill pattern (oriented at 340°, angled -65° below horizontal), to a depth of 224 meters and successfully intersected a 31.95m high grade VMS Zone consisting of a sulphide lens carrying copper, lead, zinc, silver and gold, with assays increasing with depth. The intersection assayed 2.52% Cu-Eq over 31.95m including 27.25m of 2.87% Cu-Eq and 14.15m of 3.73% Cu-Eq with 4.15m of 5.16% Cu-Eq . The drill core consisted of massive pyritic VMS with locally visible chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena. Host rocks included both felsic volcanics and sediments. In the upper portion of the lens, copper is dominant with assay results showing Ag, Au, Pb and Zn increasing at depth. The intervals are of true width.

Gary Lohman, P.Geo., VP Exploration, Director stated, "Drilling continues to expand the mineralized footprint in the southwest. As with DDH WD-26-07, we see a variation in the distribution of the mineralization, with this hole highlighting increased assay values for Ag, Au, Pb and Zn at depth, further demonstrating the multi-element value of the Wedge."
