Nine Mile Metals Ltd. Announces Assay Results from Nine Mile Brook VMS
Project including Lead-Zinc 38.8%, Gold 2.694 g/t, and Silver 14.50 oz/t
Vancouver, B.C. February 7, 2022- NINE MILE METALS LTD. (CSE: NINE) (the “Company” or “Nine Mile”)
is pleased to announce assay results from a work program completed on the Nine Mile Brook VMS Project
(“Nine Mile Brook”) by Fiddlehead Mining Corp. (“FMC”) and prior to the company acquiring an interest
in Nine Mile Brook (refer news releases November 29, 2021 and January 25, 2022).
FMC completed a work program in September 2021 to sample sections of the VMS Lens Extension. Ten
(10) samples were broken off the VMS Lens Extension for assay and submitted for analysis to Bureau
Veritas Laboratories located in Timmins, Ontario (“BV Labs”). Due to the high-grade nature of the samples,
analytical package AR404 was requested, the method specifically designed for high precision and accuracy
required to quantify commodity elements for resource evaluation. This method had an upper limit
maximum of 20% for copper, lead, and zinc. Since some values were above the maximum limit, analytical
packages MA370 and GC817 were also employed by BV Labs, the latter having an upper limit of 100% Pb
for lead. The results are summarized below in Table 1.

The base and precious metal values encountered in this last round of sampling are great in both grade
and consistency. The assay results demonstrate the variability within the VMS sequence at Nine Mile
Brook, highlighted by discreet, higher-grade sections of both base and precious metals.
Patrick J Cruickshank, MBA, director of the Company and President & CEO of FMC stated, “These are the
highest reported values yet on all of Bathurst Mining Camp Projects and we couldn’t be more excited to
explore for additional VMS Lens and the economic large source deposit they broke off from. Nine Mile is
taking steps to secure the next phase of this exciting exploration program on Nine Mile Brook . We are

pleased that the BV Labs Assay results confirm that the Newly Discovered VMS Lens extension, is much
larger and continues with High-Grade VMS Mineralization.
In 2022, the Company’s exploration will focus on defining potential targets within and proximal to the
California Lake Group Volcanics to the north of the VMS lens. To assist, high -definition UAV magnetics
will be utilized to define the extent of the mineralized lens and associated geologic contacts.

Host to the Trevali Mining Corp’s Caribou Mine, the California Lake Group, depicted in orange on Figure
1, is one of the 3 major units that host VMS deposits in the BMC. The flagship Nine Mile Brook hosts a
large geological section through the core of its land package. This hig h priority target area is up ice and
may have been the potential source of the exposed VMS mineralization.
