Vancouver, British Columbia - NINE MILE METALS LTD. (CSE: NINE) (OTCQB: VMSXF) (FSE: KQ9) (the 'Company' or 'Nine Mile') is pleased to announce it has received certified assays for drill hole WD-24-05 and WD-24-06 at the Wedge VMS drill target situated in the renowned Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick (BMC).

WD-24-05 HIGHLIGHTS: Drill hole WD-24-05 was collared on the same drill pad as drill hole WD-24-04 and drilled at an azimuth of 160 degrees and a dip of -65 degrees to a total depth of 272.00m to undercut WD-24-04.

The drill hole successfully intersected Cu, Zn, Au, and Ag mineralization between 18.35m and 119.06m.

Four distinct zones of visible sulphide mineralization were intersected, including: ZONE 1 (18.35m - 26.35m): 8.00m assaying 0.82% Cu, 0.54% Zn, 0.04g/t Au, and 3.00 g/t Ag

Cu-Eq of 1.04%. 4.00m of pyritic VMS (18.35m - 22.35m) assaying 1.20% Cu, 0.43 % Zn, 0.05 g/t Au, and 3.50 g/t Ag, with a Cu-Eq of 1.40%.

ZONE 2 (37.55m - 50.00m): 12.45m assaying 0.20% Cu, 0.15% Zn, 0.02 g/t Au, and 1.20 g/t Ag Cu-Eq of 0.27%.

ZONE 3 (87.00m - 105.00m): 18.00m assaying 0.72% Cu, 0.33% Zn, 0.03 g/t Au, 2.20 g/t Ag Cu-Eq 0.87% Cu.

Including 13.00m of pyritic VMS (88.00m - 101.00m) assaying 0.87% Cu, 0.45% Zn, 0.03 g/t Au and 2.60 g/t Ag with a Cu-Eq of 1.06% Cu.

Including 5.00 m of pyritic VMS (96.00m - 101.00m) assaying 1.2% Cu, 0.29% Zn, 0.03 g/t Au and 2.00 g/t Ag with a Cu-Eq of 1.33 % Cu.

ZONE 4 (116.17m - 119.06m) 2.89m assaying 0.19% Cu, 0.3% Pb, 1.4% Zn, 0.09 g/t Au and 7.90 g/t Ag Cu-Eq of 0.83% Cu.

'Both Drill Program Summary Compilations provide an oblique view of the 2024 drill holes, with the bright pink highlighting the continuity of the copper-dominant mineralization. We are pleased with the progress to date, especially since the drill holes are along the eastern extension identified by Nine Mile Metals. Mineralization occurs primarily at the volcanic-sediment contact. As seen in the drill core, the VMS host consists primarily of fine-grained pyrite with no visible copper mineralogy, requiring extensive sampling and assaying. To the north, the mineralization seems constrained to a vertical sheet, while in the south, the drill intersections in holes WD-24-02, WD-24-04, and WD-24-7 have both grade and width at depth, which when combined, will add tonnes to the deposit. The mineralized trend is also open east of WD-24-04 for further expansion. We look forward to the BHEM survey to be conducted down WD-24-01 and will give us a very valuable look at the depth of this new mineralized area,' commented Gary Lohman, P.Geo., VP Exploration & Director.

Patrick J. Cruickshank, MBA, CEO & Director stated, 'We are pleased to announce this summary compilation of our 8 DDH in the new east extension of the Wedge Mine. This is significant to the economics of this project. As the compilation demonstrates, we consistently have strong copper-silver results representing significant volume. Once we drill the northwest Target Area 2 and the western flank of the deposit, we will continue with our mandate to prove this deposit is much bigger and deeper than previously thought. The Wedge continues to become an increasingly important target area for Nine Mile Metals. The upcoming additional BHEM surveys and UAV high-definition drone magnetics will clarify the deposit's structure and enhanced upside. We look forward to EarthEx and their proven technology.'
