Nine Mile Metals Announces Completion of DDH WD-26-01, Intersecting 129.72 Meters of Visual Mineralization and Identifies Two Massive Sulphide Zones

Sequential high-grade VMS intercepts at Wedge sustain exploration momentum, but pre-revenue status and going-concern warning limit near-term catalysts.

By The Northwire Desk — AI Analysis Jun 24, 2026 · 08:42 NINE · 0.08 Nine Mile Metals Ltd.
Executive Summary
  • Nine Mile Metals completed drill hole DDH WD-26-01 at the Wedge VMS Project, intersecting 129.72 meters of visual mineralization.
  • The hole identified two distinct horizons of visible copper-bearing VMS mineralization, highlighted by coarse-grained chalcopyrite throughout the interval.
  • Quick XRF analysis confirmed copper, zinc, and lead presence. Core samples are being shipped to ALS Global for certified base, precious metal, and antimony assays.
  • The company added experienced local geologist Art Hamilton to the exploration team.
  • Operational updates confirm a second drill rig arriving in early July 2026 and a track mount rig secured for September, accelerating the 2026 exploration program.
Material Impact
  • The release is a standard exploration update confirming the continuation of high-grade, multi-metal VMS mineralization at the Wedge project.
  • Results are based on visual logging and quick XRF; certified assay grades are pending.
  • The company has been systematically releasing drill results since late 2025, establishing a clear pattern of high-grade intercepts. This update is a logical continuation of that sequence.
  • No new financing, resource estimate, or strategic partnership is announced. The market has already priced in the ongoing drilling campaign and the near-term rig schedule.
  • Given the pre-revenue status and the incremental nature of the update, the immediate price impact is expected to be muted.
