Nine Mile Metals advances drilling at Wedge Mine project - ICYMI

Nine Mile Metals Ltd. ( CSE:NINE OTCQB:VMSXF ) CEO Patrick Cruikshank talked with Proactive about the latest drilling progress at the Wedge project and the company’s work to expand mineralization beyond the historic mine area.

Proactive : Welcome back to the Proactive newsroom. Joining me now is Patrick Cruikshank, CEO of Nine Mile Metals. Patrick, it is great to see you again. How are you?

Patrick Cruikshank : I am great. Thanks for having me back. The company has released another hole from the drill program, and it appears to be continuing to expand the mineralization. Tell us about this particular hole, where it was located and what the company encountered.

This is the third hole we released, and all three holes were drilled from the same pad. In the northeastern part of the mine, toward the eastern extension, we drilled a fan of holes into an area that had never previously been drilled or mined. By the time the holes reached a depth of around 300 metres, they were approximately 50 to 100 metres apart. It is a very economical approach because we can turn the drill rig and drill at different angles from the same location. This hole reached approximately 390 metres, and we encountered around 125 metres of mineralized intervals. Across the three holes, we have now observed almost 500 metres of visual mineralization. The challenge is that all of that core has to be cut, which has created a bottleneck in preparing and sending the samples to the laboratory. We have just finished cutting this hole and will forw...
