Nine Mile Metals Announces Drill Rig Mobilization for the Wedge 10,000m Drill Program and Targets New High Grade Copper ZoneMay 19, 2026 8:00 AM
NewsfileToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 19, 2026) - NINE MILE METALS LTD. (CSE: NINE) (OTC Pink: VMSXF) (FSE: KQ9) (the "Company" or "Nine Mile"), is pleased to announce that Orbit Garant will mobilize a YS2000 Skid Mounted Drill Rig for the upcoming Wedge 10,000m drill program next week. The drill rig is being prepped in Moncton, New Brunswick and is anticipated to arrive onsite May 28th. The Drill Program will commence at the Wedge Mine for Phase 3 Drilling, then continue to The TriBag and West Wedge Targets, (Targets #3 and #4 - Figure 1 below). We have the drill rig committed for the entire season through December. Last fall's highly successful drill program concentrated on the southwest extension of the Wedge Mine, successfully uncovering new high-grade Copper-Gold-Silver lenses of the deposit. On the heels of the successful eastern expansion of the deposit, Phase 2 expanded the footprint of the deposit, supporting our geophysical technology, new interpretation, and modelling. This Phase 3 drill program focuses specifically on these newly discovered high-grade zones and will target the western flank of the deposit from the other side of the fault zone where we lost water last year as we entered a high-grade copper zone on drill hole WD-25-2B within Target #2, (Figure 1), the results summarized on (Table 1). We will also target the mine at depth. Apex Geoscience, Mike Dufresne, P.Geo. & Technical Advisor, and team will be onsite June 1st for a complete site visit on all 4 projects, including Nine Mile Brook, a priority for the fall of 2026.FIGURE #1: Western Portfolio VMS Trend Targets (Wedge Trend Drill Program)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:

* As reported in previous press release April 2, 2026Gary Lohman, VP Exploration, Director stated, "We are looking forward to testing both the western extension and the depth of the deposit with drill holes designed by Mike Dufresne and the geophysical team at Apex Geoscience. With previous mining and exploration limited to the upper portions of the deposit, this series of drill holes will expand the mineralized footprint, as we accomplished in the east, adding to the resource. All drill holes will be capped on completion to facilitate downhole geophysics (BHEM) or revisit to extend the holes, which , along with the cross-section drill results, assists in resource 3D modeling and future exploration planning. We look forward to sharing our first results."Figure 2: Orbit Garant Drilling is ECOLOGO accredited.

Our priority will be to test the deposit from the western side targeting the "New" High-Grade Cu - Ag - Au Lens identified in last fall's drill program. As previously stated, we will be able to drill the new lens from the other side of the fault that caused us to lose the water in the drill hole, just as we entered the High-Grade Copper Lens in Hole WD-25-2b. We will also test the depth of the deposit. We are pleased to have Mike Dufresne and entire Technical Team all on site for a complete portfolio site visit and analysis for the basis for an updated 43-101 on the Wedge Project and review of the Nine Mile Brook Project to determine new drill targets at the Lens.

Modeling will determine where the mineralization is situated within the larger system.Figure 2: Cross Section, Drill Holes WD-25-01, WD-25-04 and WD-25-05, Geology, Cu and Zn assays.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:

https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7335/295910_5be5b4229483fbbc_004full.jpgGary Lohman, P.Geo, VP Exploration, Director stated, "The Wedge Mine Southwest Phase 2 drill program was highly successful, intersecting copper mineralization in all drill holes and discovered a new High-Grade Copper Zone. It also intersected substantial Au & Ag zones. When drilling a deposit, all holes are important due to the distribution and variation of mineralization within the system. Each drillhole tells a piece of the puzzle and paints the deposit picture. The success of this drill program has enabled our Technical Team to 3D model all Drill holes that intersected in the previous Wedge Eastern Extension new zone, the newly completed Southwest Zones and all the historical Cominco Drill data, into a living 3D model. This helps define the remaining deposit area and forecast the new drill areas to target the new Copper Rich Lens and the entire western extension of the deposit. We have received all necessary drill permits and target definition. The BHEM surveys will be the 1st 2 holes address in this next Drill Program slated for 1st week of June."Patrick J. Cruickshank, MBA, CEO & Director, stated, "We are looking forward to announcing our 10,000-meter drill Wprogram at the Wedge Mine, Tribag and West Wedge, including Target #6 at California Lake East. Due to the late snowfall this past spring, the government has extended the heavy equipment ban on the BMC roads until the last week of May. The permits are in hand, targets defined, and Rigs ordered and committed. This year will be a very busy drill season for us at Nine Mile Metals." Analysis and QAQCAll samples were submitted to and analyzed at ALS Canada Ltd. (ALS), an independent commercial laboratory for both the sample preparation and assaying. ALS is a commercial laboratory independent of Nine Mile Metals Ltd. Samples submitted through ALS are run through standard preparation methods and analysed using Code ME-ICP61A which is a high-grade four acid digestion and ICP+AES analysis. Gold analysis is done by standard fire assay (Au-AA23) using a 30-gram sample. Overlimit assays are done by gravimetric analysis (Au-GRA21). ALS undertakes their own QA/AC protocols including coarse and pulp duplicate analysis to ensure proper sample preparation and equipment calibration. Nine Mile's QAQC program includes regular insertion of CRM standards, duplicates, and blanks into the sample stream with a stringent review of all results. QAQC and data validation was performed, and no material errors were observed.Copper Equivalent (Cu-Eq) for hole samples in WD-25-04 and WD-25-05 were calculated based on May 1, 2026, pricing: US$ 5.86/lb Cu, US$ 0.88.00/lb Pb, US$ 1.51/lb Zn, US$ 75.22/oz Ag, and US$ 4,,613.40/oz Au, with 80% metallurgical recoveries assumed for all metals. Since it is unclear which metals will be the principal products, assuming different recoveries is premature at this stage. Therefore, an 80% recovery rate is justified.The disclosure of technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements as set out in National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and reviewed and approved by Gary Lohman, B.Sc., PGO., VP Exploration and Director who acts as the Company's Qualified Person, and is not independent of the Company.About Nine Mile Metals Ltd.:Nine Mile Metals Ltd. is a Canadian public mineral exploration company focused on VMS (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag and Au) exploration in the world-famous Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick, Canada.

NewsfileToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 2, 2026) - NINE MILE METALS LTD. (CSE: NINE) (OTC PINK: VMSXF) (FSE: KQ9) (the "Company" or "Nine Mile"), is pleased to announce it has received certified assays for drill hole WD-25-2B at the Wedge Mine situated in the renowned Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick (BMC).DDH WD-25-02B was collared approximately 60 meters northwest of WD-25-01 and drilled at an azimuth of 325 degrees and a dip of -50 degrees to a final depth of 122 meters further increasing the mineralized footprint of the target to the west (Figure 3).DDH WD-25-02B was successful, with massive copper bearing sulphides (VMS - Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au) found in 2 zones, the upper zone associated with the contact breccia at 56.4m depth and a copper rich lower zone at the base of the drill hole. Downhole ground conditions in the fault zone (sand seams, gouge) led to the termination of the drill hole at 122 meters, just as we entered a high-grade copper zone (Figure 1).Elevated Ag and Au found in association with the base metal mineralization, similar to drill hole WD-25-01.The sulphide mineralization in the drill hole occurred in both sediments and volcanics, terminating in massive copper bearing sulphides (VMS - Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au) with visible Chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) as seen in Figure 1.There was mineralization continuous between the zones with assays between the zones returning minor copper in pyritic sulphides.Most Sample sections between 53.0 and 122.0 meters were 3 meters in length, to provide the best overall data for the drill hole. Smaller sample widths were identified and cut where appropriate.Sample sections were of true width.With massive, visible high grade Cu mineralization present at the base of the drill hole, this intersection will be evaluated from a different location in our next phase drill program in May 2026 (due to the fault zone encountered).TABLE 1: WD-25-02B Overall Assay Summary (Weighted Averages)

https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7335/290984_figure1.jpgGary Lohman, P.Geo, VP Exploration, Director stated, "Drilling continues to intersect massive copper bearing mineralization in the western portion of the Wedge as seen above in Figure 1. Prior to new drilling in May 2026, (3) BHEM surveys will be conducted on last fall's previous holes, to assist in vectoring in on recently defined new VMS Zones and associated high-grade copper mineralization, (2) BHEM surveys in the Northwest area and (1) BHEM survey in the high-grade Southwest Area."Patrick J. Cruickshank, MBA, CEO & Director, stated "we are thrilled with the results of this hole. The drill results continue to show impressive high-grade results through different styles and zonation of mineralization. We have seen High Grade Cu, High Grade Cu with Ag, Huge Grade Cu with Au, and a traditional VMS lens model. Had this hole not terminated due to a fault and water loss, we would have truly seen a special high-grade Cu - Ag Lens. Our Spring Phase 3 drill program will be exciting, and we will be able to drill from locations that best expose the value this deposit has to offer. We will drill from the other side of this fault and expose the entire High-Grade Lens and its magnitude. Having multiple zonation's of mineralization is a valuable perspective and brings a host of opportunity for us. We look forward to sharing our next result & launching our Phase 3 program including our West Wedge & Tribag Drill initiative."FIGURE 2: Massive Copper bearing, Pyritic VMSTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:

NewsfileToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 12, 2026) - NINE MILE METALS LTD. (CSE: NINE) (OTC Pink: VMSXF) (FSE: KQ9) (the "Company" or "Nine Mile") is pleased to announce it has received certified assays for drill hole WD-25-01 at the Wedge Mine situated in the renowned Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick (BMC).WD-25-01 HIGHLIGHTS:DDH WD-25-01 was collared in the southern portion of the Wedge and drilled at an azimuth of 335 degrees and a dip of -50 degrees to a depth of 293 meters.Collared in the hanging wall sediments, the drill hole intersected 22.65 meters (true width) of fine-grained pyrite VMS (Cu, Pb, Zn, Au, Ag) confirming the presence of high-grade copper at depth and significant Au and Ag mineralization of 0.96 Au g/t & Ag 39.52 g/t over 22.65m, including 1.01 Au g/t & 42.50 Ag g/t over 17.65m, including 13.00m assaying 1.21 g/t Au and 50.33 g/t Ag between 160.05 and 173.05 meters.In the drill hole, the precious metal enrichment returned peak assays of 1.72 g/t Au and 148 g/t Ag, respectively.The intersection is further characterized by a concentration of epithermal elements including As, Sb, and Sn.Pb / Zn mineralization is also present with sample intervals up to 13.90% Pb and 19.30% Zn (Table 2 below).The multi-element nature of mineralization is reflected in the CuEq calculations with individual sections at 9.29% CuEq and 7.47% CuEq (Table 2 below).At the base of the VMS intersection, the copper mineralization is dominant, a 5.65-meter section between 173.05 and 178.70 is highlighted.Elevated Cobalt (up to 424 ppm Co) and Bismuth (up to 695 ppm Bi) are found associated with the higher copper values at the base of the VMS mineralization. The results from this drill hole are unique, with the zonation of precious metals and epithermal elements separate from the more extensive Cu mineralization at the lower contact.This drill hole demonstrates the variation in mineralization that is common in VMS systems, even at deposit scale, further confirming the dynamic nature of Wedge deposit.The style and extent of Au-Ag mineralization is not present in adjacent drill intersections, making this a separate, unique lens.The cross sections in Figures 1 and 2 highlight the Au, Ag and Cu mineralization.TABLE 1: Assay Summary (Weighted Averages)

Locally visible Chalcopyrite, Sphalerite and Galena occur as seen in the figures 3, 4 and 5 below."This drill hole was intriguing, not only confirming the presence of high-grade copper at depth but also containing a significant precious metal component previously not recognized or reported at the Wedge. In our 2024 drilling on the eastern extension, both Au and Ag are present in the assays however the widths were much smaller and associated with copper, lead and zinc rich intervals. This further demonstrates the robust nature of the mineralization at the Wedge" commented Gary Lohman, P.Geo., VP Exploration & Director.Patrick J. Cruickshank, MBA, CEO & Director, stated "Tremendous result on Hole WD-25-1 at the Wedge Mine. This clearly demonstrates the high-grade nature and the diverse composition at the Wedge Deposit. This is a completely different VMS Style Lens again. This is a diverse and unique deposit that continues to show its economic and high-grade potential. This is a high-grade Gold - Silver Burst not a Copper only style like Lens #3 we discovered. We look forward to our 2026 Drill Program at this deposit and unlock more high-grade surprises at depth and along the western corridor."

Nine Mile Metals Announces Phase 1 Bulk Sample Update at Nine Mile Brook High Grade Lens of 13.71% CuEq over 15.10mMarch 2, 2026 8:00 AM
NewsfileToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 2, 2026) - NINE MILE METALS LTD. (CSE: NINE) (OTC Pink: VMSXF) (FSE: KQ9) (the "Company" or "Nine Mile") is pleased to announce that it is conducting Bulk Sample Metallurgical Analysis on the Nine Mile Brook VMS High Grade Lens with SGS Canada and Glencore Canada. Glencore and SGS will be conducting their own collaborated scope of work, including sample preparation, assaying, mineralogical studies, and metallurgical testing. SGS will provide (2) specific samples to Glencore, who will be conducting their own metallurgical - mineralogical analysis for their Horne Smelter in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. HIGHLIGHTS:(2) Nine Mile Brook Lens representative samples will be collected, one from the high-grade Cu portion, a second from the Pb-Zn-Ag end of the Lens, weighing up to 1 Tonne each. The samples will be placed in large totes, shrink wrapped and shipped to SGS in Lakefield, Ontario for crushing, grinding, Assay, Mineralogical and Metallurgical Analysis.In addition, DDH NM220004 Drill Core representing the entire 15.10m intersection of High-Grade Cu will be shipped to SGS Canada for 1st phase grinding & preparation and forwarded to Glencore for their proprietary IsaMILLTM Technology and metallurgical analysis. SGS will crush the Cu Rich Sample according to Glencore's parameters. Glencore's IsaMILLTM technology is the world's only horizontal high speed stirred media mill designed for energy efficient ultrafine grinding in mining of base metals in a reliable compact scalable footprint.Nine Mile Metals will also deliver Drill Core representative of the entire Cu intersection to SGS to Crush to the same specifications requested by Glencore and deliver the sample accordingly. Glencore will have both a large sample and an entire drill intersect sample for IsaMILLTM process & Metallurgical Analysis.SGS will do a mineralogical scan, Bond Test to determine hardness, and conduct head grade analysis for Cu, Pb, Zn, Fe, S, Au, Ag, and Indium. Metallurgical testing will follow including gravity tests to assess copper recovery.SGS will also conduct (6) floatation tests to assess metallurgical response.Previous investigative work by RPC Science and Engineering (RPC) on potential Cu-Pb-Zn recovery of the lens material identified anomalous Indium in the deposit, a critical mineral used in semiconductors, electronics, and aerospace industries. SGS is the World's Leading Testing, Inspecting and Certification company, operating in 115 countries operating over 2500 Laboratories. A Swiss company of excellence helping organizations achieve the highest level of quality, compliance, and sustainability.The required Notice of Planned Work has been submitted for the Project.TABLE 1: Assay Summary, DDH-NM220004, Nine Mile Brook2022 DDH-NM220004 Certified Assays Cu% Zn% Pb%Ag (g/t)Ag (oz)Au (g/t)Cu Eq % From (m) To (m.)

https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7335/285887_nmmfig203022026.jpgAnalysis and QAQCAll samples were submitted to and analyzed at ALS Global, an independent commercial laboratory for both the sample preparation and assaying. ALS is a commercial laboratory independent of Nine Mile Metals Ltd. Samples submitted through ALS are run through standard preparation methods and analysed using MEICP61a which is a high-grade four acid digestion and ICP - AES analysis. Gold analysis is done by standard fire assay (Au-AA23) using a 30-gram sample. Overlimit assays are done by gravimetric analysis. As required, overlimit analysis for base metals and silver utilizes ALS method ME-OG62, a four-acid digestion. ALS undertakes their own QA/AC protocols including coarse and pulp duplicate analysis to ensure proper sample preparation and equipment calibration. Nine Miles QAQC program includes regular insertion of CRM standards, duplicates, and blanks into the sample stream with a stringent review of all results. QAQC and data validation was performed, and no material errors were observed.Copper Equivalent (Cu-Eq) for the drill hole samples is calculated based on February 27, 2026, pricing: US$ 6.04/lb Cu, US$ 0.87/lb Pb, US$ 1.49/lb Zn, US$ 93.66/oz Ag, and US$ 5278.20/oz Au, with 80% metallurgical recoveries assumed for all metals. Since it is unclear which metals will be the principal products, assuming different recoveries is premature at this stage. Therefore, an 80% recovery rate is justified.The disclosure of technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements as set out in National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and reviewed and approved by Gary Lohman, B.Sc., P.Geo., VP Exploration and Director who acts as the Company's Qualified Person, and is not independent of the Company.About Nine Mile Metals Ltd.:Nine Mile Metals Ltd. is a Canadian public mineral exploration Company focused on VMS (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag and Au) exploration in the renowned Bathurst Mining Camp (BMC), located in New Brunswick, Canada.

Nine Mile Metals Announces Certified Assays from DDH-WD-25-02 of 2.78% CUEQ over 32.10 METERS, Including 4.78% CUEQ over 11.52 Meters and 5.64% CUEQ over 6.02 Meters
February 17 2026 - 8:15AM
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 17, 2026) - NINE MILE METALS LTD. (CSE: NINE) (OTC Pink: VMSXF) (FSE: KQ9) (the "Company" or "Nine Mile") is pleased to announce it has received certified assays for drill hole WD-25-02 at the Wedge Mine situated in the renowned Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick (BMC).
WD-25-02 HIGHLIGHTS:
DDH WD-25-02 was collared on the same drill pad as WD-25-01 and drilled at an azimuth of 310 degrees and a dip of -50 degrees to a depth of 203 meters to expand on the mineralization intersected in drill hole WD-25-01.
Collared in the hanging wall sediments, the drill hole intersected 32.10 meters of Cu bearing mineralization within a sediment / volcanic package that includes 3 distinct VMS (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, Au) horizons between 138.72 and 170.82 m., (Table 1).
In addition to copper bearing sulphides, the 3 Horizons are further characterized by elevated Ag and Au, with assays up to 70 g/t Ag and 1.19 g/t Au respectively.
Horizon 1 mineralization consists of Cu bearing pyritic VMS and has a true width of 2.5 meters (138.72 - 141.22 m.) occurring at a brecciated contact between sheared graphitic argillite and massive VMS, assaying 3.09% Cu, 1.02% Pb, 4.88% Zn, 61.57 g/t Ag, and 1.01 g/t Au.
Horizon 2 is defined by a sequence of weakly mineralized (Py, Cpy) and massive copper bearing sulphides (VMS- Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, Au) between 150.30 and 165.32 m., a true width of 15.02 meters, assaying 2.14% Cu, 0.52% Pb, 1.00 % Zn, 11 g/t Ag, and 0.40 g/t Au.
Included in Horizon 2 is 6.02 meter (true width) of massive VMS mineralization between 159.30 - 165.32 m. assaying 4.63% Cu, 0.27% Pb, 0.79% Zn, 12.50 g/t Ag, and 0.42 g/t Au. Within this interval, sample 338291 was the highest Cu assay in the drill hole, returning 6.52% over 1 meter between 161.30 - 162.30 meters (Figure 5), further confirming the presence of exceptional grade potential at the Wedge.
Horizon 3 is a 2.82-meter intercept (true width) of massive VMS (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, Au) assaying 2.91% Cu, 0.96% Pb, 7.13% Zn, 36.65 g/t Ag, and 0.72 g/t Au.

Horizon 1:
Horizon 1 mineralization occurs at a graphitic argillite, massive pyritic VMS contact. The mineralization is fine grained with some visible chalcopyrite and minor galena (Pb) and sphalerite (Zn). The sheared graphitic contact is a marker horizon with the same style of VMS mineralization also occurring in drill holes WD-25-01, WD-25-2B, WD-W5-04 and WD-25-05.

"We are quite pleased by the results from WD-25-02. Not only do the assays confirm the presence of copper at depth, but the multi-element nature of the VMS mineralization is best reflected in the copper equivalent calculations where the presence of Ag, Au and Zn significantly changes the rock value. We will report on the assays from drill hole WD-25-01 as soon as the lab completes analysis of elements that were over limit. With the assays arriving and compilation - modeling underway, permitting of additional drill holes in the west will allow us to expand on the success of this program. Down hole geophysics (BHEM) is planned for the 2 holes collared in the northwest and select drill holes in the south to target additional mineralization along strike and at depth as these deposits typically have multiple, mineralized lenses that can pinch and swell," commented Gary Lohman, P.Geo., VP Exploration & Director.

Patrick J. Cruickshank, MBA, CEO & Director, stated, "DDH WD-25-02 certified assays are just outstanding. The multi element nature is terrific. High Copper, Silver, Gold & Zinc results add to the success of this hole. The confirmation of 3 distinct geological zones is proven across many of the Drillholes in this campaign, as our summaries have stated. Now fully funded and with strong capitalization, we are already confirming the next stage of drilling with the objective to test this high-grade Copper Multi Element series of horizons at depth and from the other side of the shear zone. As each VMS deposit in the BMC camp has multiple mineralized lenses constituting the deposit, planned BHEM surveying will assist in targeting these and what lies below and to the West. All 7 holes were capped so we have the flexibility to re-enter and conduct our BHEM Surveys in the best possible locations, including the lower southwest area. Upon receiving the BHEM results, our next phase of drilling will not have permit restrictions or winter challenges with access roads to exactly where we want to setup our drill pads. Our technical Team lead by Mike Dufresne & Gary Lohman have secured our BHEM Survey Vendor and will decide which Hole in the Southwest to choose as a BHEM Survey hole, along with the 2 Holes in the upper Northwest area. The CuEq over this width is very strong and supports the next stage for this exploration model."
The disclosure of technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements as set out in National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and reviewed and approved by Gary Lohman, B.Sc., PGEO., VP Exploration and Director who acts as the Company's Qualified Person, and is not independent of the Company.
Copper Equivalent (Cu-Eq) for the drill hole samples is calculated based on February 13, 2026, pricing: US$ 5.85/lb Cu, US$ 0.87/lb Pb, US$ 1.50/lb Zn, US$ 77.32/oz Ag, and US$ 5041.00/oz Au, with 80% metallurgical recoveries assumed for all metals. Since it is unclear which metals will be the principal products, assuming different recoveries is premature at this stage. Therefore, an 80% recovery rate is justified.

Nine Mile Metals Intersects 44 Meters of Copper Mineralization and Provides Drill Program Update
February 10 2026 - 8:00AM
Newsfile
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 10, 2026) - NINE MILE METALS LTD. (CSE: NINE) (OTC Pink: VMSXF) (FSE: KQ9) (the "Company" or "Nine Mile") is pleased to provide the details of drill hole WD-25-05 in addition to a summary of the 2025 drill program completed in December at the Wedge Project.
Drillhole WD-25-05:
DDH WD-25-05 collared on the same drill pad as WD-25-01 and drilled at an azimuth of 310 degrees and a dip of -60 to a final depth of 275 meters.
DDH-WD-25-05 was successful, intersecting massive VMS (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, Au) mineralization between 155.52 - 157.80 meters (Figure 1) followed by 40 meters of mineralized felsic volcanics (rhyolite) as seen in Figure 2 between 157.80 and 197.80 meters before terminating in sediments.
Mineralization consisted of both pyrite and chalcopyrite as disseminations, masses, and associated with quartz bands parallel to bedding.
All drill core has been measured, logged, photographed, marked, and cut for sampling at the company's warehouse in Bathurst, New Brunswick. A quick XRF analysis was also completed for sulphide confirmation - filtering and width identification in definition for sampling core for Actlabs Analysis. A total of 55 sections were delivered to ALS Global in Moncton, New Brunswick for Base and Precious Metals analysis, including Antimony.

Drill Holes BHEM -01 and BHEM-02:
Both drill holes were collared on permitted drill pads in the northwest along the western extension (Figure 4). The drill core for both BHEM-01 and BHEM-02 were solid with minimal faulting / fracturing in the host sediments providing ideal drill holes for surveying and subsequent follow up. Collared outside of known mineralization, the holes are well positioned to locate and model adjacent mineralization with no interference from a conductive source within the drill hole. Both holes are capped and easily accessible, the drill pads available for extending drilling further west and if required, additional depth.

Gary Lohman, VP Exploration, Director stated, "Our Wedge Drill Program has been very successful, intersecting Massive Cu bearing VMS where targeted in the western extension of the Wedge Deposit, as designed. Two holes were also drilled in the Northwest area to facilitate an upcoming BHEM survey, their locations in solid rock on the flanks of previous underground workings. In addition to identifying additional mineralization, the size and scale of the individual geological units and results from the upcoming BHEM program will assist in modeling the deposit and targeting additional drilling along the western extension. After our successful drilling in the southern lower extension of the deposit, our knowledge of the deposit and mineralization has increased and identified new areas of priority that were not permitted for this past drill program. We have identified new drill collar locations to continue to test the Copper Zone on the western extension in addition to potential locations that avoid the shear zone in the south. New permitting is underway in preparation of an exciting 2026 campaign at the Wedge, including our West Wedge and Tribag Target Trend drill programs."
2025 Drill Program Overview:
The program consisted of 7 drill holes totaling 1,654 meters with 5 holes targeting copper mineralization in the western extension of the Wedge Mine with two additional holes collared in the northwest to facilitate BHEM (Bore Hole Electromagnetic) surveying this spring. The goal is to map the depth of the deposit and define the new copper zone. We should also be able to map the western parameters of the deposit, heading west towards the Tribag and West Wedge along trend.
The 2025 drill program was highly successful, with all five drill holes targeting copper mineralization intersecting both massive VMS (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, Au) and banded copper sulphide mineralization. The two holes collared to facilitate BHEM geophysical surveying were also successful, collared in the northwest portion of the western extension, away from the large, graphitic shear zone that bounds the deposit in the south and west of the interpreted extent of previous, underground workings. BHEM surveying has its best results when drilled away from the mineralization and the magnetic interference.
The five drill holes targeting mineralization were all collared in the southwest, crossing through a brecciated, graphitic shear zone (tectonic melange) before intersecting a well-defined massive VMS (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, Au) horizon. This is characteristic of the mineralized contact after which a sequence of intercalated sediments and volcanics are cut prior to the holes intersecting the main zone of VMS mineralization with mineralized widths between 13 and 48 meters.
The VMS mineralization consisted of abundant pyrite and lesser chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and galena. Local, secondary copper, covellite (CuS) and bornite (Cu5FeS4), was also identified in drill holes WD-25-02 and WD-25-04.
In the west, the metal zonation appears different than the drill holes completed in the east with the prevalence of a greater concentration of chalcopyrite and pyrite with lesser galena (Pb) and sphalerite (Zn). Although it is early in the process, we have confirmed the presence abundant chalcopyrite and coarser grained pyrite in the western extension.
The key observations in this program include:
Graphitic Shear Zone in contact with VMS confirmed as a diagnostic marker horizon in the southwest.
Mineralized siliceous volcanics were intersected in numerous drill holes, defining an additional, mineralized sequence.
VMS mineralization occurs in multiple horizons as seen in holes WD-25-01 and WD-25-02.
The intersected units (Argillite, VMS and Felsic Volcanics) are of substantial width and extent which will assist in the 3D modeling of the deposit and subsequent drill hole targeting.
Patrick J Cruickshank, MBA, CEO & Director, stated, "We are thrilled with the success of our Wedge Phase 2 Drill Program. To have all 5 holes strike mineralization was more than we expected. It is a testament to our Technical Team and specifically, Mike Dufresne and Gary Lohman. We already have identified Phase 3 Drill holes and are determined more than ever to expand this deposit's footprint and expose this entire new 3rd High Grade Copper Lens. In addition, the BHEM surveys, the Phase 3 Wedge Drilling, the TriBag & West Wedge drilling to test this VMS Cluster Trend, 2026 will be filled with Wedge Project activity. We expect our first Assays to arrive this week from ALS Global and look forward to sharing the results."

"I've compiled each press release for holes 1 through 4, including photos or plans and Gary's comments. It goes without saying that when you look at this sequence, each drilling operation is strategic and we're heading towards guaranteed success.
November 26, 2025
WD-25-01 was collared along the southern flank of the Wedge Mine and drilled at an azimuth of 335 degrees with a dip of -50 degrees to target the 2 modeled plates in the western extension (Figure 2). DDH WD-25-01 was successful, intersecting approximately 22.40 meters (true width) of massive copper bearing sulphides (VMS – Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au), in the 1st Target Plate. DDH WD-25-01 also intersected a 2nd sulphide zone in Target Plate 2, which is currently being geologically logged, measured, photographed and cut for sampling. A total of 65 sample sections have been identified for base and precious metals analysis (including Antimony) by Actlabs, Fredericton, New Brunswick. The VMS sulphides were visible so our time consuming XRF analysis process was not performed on this large a section to expediate the samples to the labs for certified analysis, also keeping the crew from becoming backlogged in the drill program. All drill core has been measured, logged, photographed, marked and cut for sampling at the company’s warehouse in Bathurst New Brunswick. WD-25-02 was collared on the same drill pad and drilled at an azimuth of 310 degrees and a dip of -50 degrees to intersect the first plate approximately 40 meters further west to extend the mineralized zone along strike. More details will follow when geological logging of the drill core has been completed.

Comment from Gary Lohman after press release from hole #1
Gary Lohman, VP Exploration, Director stated, ”We are very pleased with the VMS sulphide mineralization intersects from our first drill hole, WD-25-01. The mineralization was intersected where projected and throughout its width, it is massive and looks nondescript as seen in the images above, however, upon close examination, chalcopyrite (Cu) is seen as very fine disseminations within a matrix of pyrite. With the success of the first hole, the technical team, with the assistance of Apex Geoscience, decided to turn the drill west (WD-25-02) to intersect the VMS sulphide zone along strike and extend the mineralized footprint west. We look forward to building on this success and reporting the ongoing progress of this important Drill program at The Wedge Project”

DDH WD-25-02 was successful, intersecting massive copper bearing sulphides (VMS – Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au). Massive copper bearing sulphides (VMS – Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au) were found associated with the contact breccia at 139m depth with a second zone of massive copper bearing sulphides (VMS – Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au) intersected at 155 meters, having an approximate true width of 20 meters. The sulphide mineralogy in WD-25-02 is readily visible, especially the massive copper mineralization, as shown in Figures 1 & 2. Chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) occurs as masses, streaks and blebs while more local Pb-Zn mineralization is well banded with sphalerite (Zn) the dominant sulphide. Local bornite (Cu5FeS4) and Covellite (CuS) is visibly present, the bornite displays its characteristic “Purple Peacock Copper Bloom” and Covellite its “Blue Copper”, as seen in Figure 1. All drill core has been measured, logged, photographed, marked and cut for sampling at the company’s warehouse in Bathurst, New Brunswick. A quick XRF analysis was also completed for sulphide confirmation – filtering and width identification in definition for sampling core for Actlabs Analysis. A total of 55 sections have been identified for Base and Precious Metals analysis, including Antimony, for Actlabs, Fredericton, New Brunswick.

Comment from Gary Lohman after press release from hole #2
Gary Lohman, VP Exploration, Director stated, “We are pleased with our technical preparation of this drill program and quality of our Lens targeting. The western extension of this deposit is robust and copper rich. Very positive to confirm the thickness of this plate intersection as we stepped approximately 50m west of DDH-WD-25-01. Our data modelling suggests a 3rd potential Zone of mineralization which Mike Dufresne of Apex Geoscience is modeling and designing (2) potential Drill holes to test that prospective Zone from the western flank area, thus avoiding a sheer zone from the south. We look forward to moving to the Northwest area of this extension program”.

DDH WD-25-02B was successful, with massive copper bearing sulphides (VMS – Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au) found associated with the contact breccia at 56.4m depth with mineralization continuing to 122 meters. The sulphide mineralization in the drill hole occurred in both sediments and volcanics, terminating in massive copper bearing sulphides (VMS – Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au) with visible Chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) as seen in Figure 1. Downhole ground conditions in the fault zone (sand seams, gouge) led to the termination of the drill hole at 122 meters, as we were drilling through a massive copper zone (Figure 1). Most Sample sections between 53.0 and 122.0 meters were 3 meters in length, to provide the best overall data for the drill hole. Smaller sample widths were identified and cut where appropriate. With massive mineralization present at the base of the drill hole, a new drill hole is being designed by the Technical Team, to be initiated from the other side of the fault zone, (New – to be permitted) in Phase 2 – 2026.

Comment from Gary Lohman after press release from hole #3
Gary Lohman, VP Exploration, Director stated, “Drilling continues to intersect massive copper bearing mineralization in the western portion of the Wedge. The style of the mineralization varies from massive VMS (Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au) to sequences of intercalated volcanics and VMS bands. XRF analysis has confirmed the high presence of copper, and we look forward to obtaining the permits required to drill this high-grade zone from the other side of the fault zone in the spring drill phase. The mineralization just continues to impress. We look forward to testing the thickness of this area of the target zone.”

DDH WD-25-04 was successful, with 40m of mineralization, first intersected at 158 meters and continuing to approximately 198 meters. Once again, secondary Copper, both Covellite and Bornite was present in the hole. At 158 meters, copper bearing sulphides (VMS – Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au) was found in contact with sheared, graphitic sediments. Between 162.0 and 183 meters, the drill hole intersected a sequence of sheared silicified volcanics (rhyolite) with parallel bands of 5 – 8% sulphides including pyrite and chalcopyrite. At 183 meters, the volume of sulphides increases to 50- 60% with visible pyrite and chalcopyrite, the contrast in mineralization styles shown in Figure 1, the chalcopyrite occurring as both mineralized bands and as disseminations Figure 3. The sulphide mineralization in the drill hole occurs within silicified volcanics, the base of section brecciated before transitioning to sediments.

FIGURE 3: Chalcopyrite occuring both mineralized bands and dissminations (left), VMS mineralization (right).
Comment from Gary Lohman after press release from hole #4
Gary Lohman, Director, P.Geo., VP Exploration, stated ”The mineralization is massive in character, fine grained, with basic Fe (Pyrite) and Cu sulphides (Chalcopyrite – Covellite), mineralogy as we have seen in recent drilling. Visible covellite (CuS) was locally present, adding a high grade component to the system. Again, these values explain what we are seeing in our drill core from our first 3 holes. (WD-25-01 & WD-25-02 & WD-25-02B). We are extremely encouraged and look forward to the WD-25-01 Certified Drill Core Assay Results.”
