NINE MILE METALS ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF DRILL PROGRAM (PHASE 1)
AND REPORTS VISIBLE, MASSIVE HIGH-GRADE COPPER VMS MINERALIZATION
AT ITS FLAGSHIP NINE MILE BROOK VMS PROJECT
VANCOUVER, B.C. Wednesday May 2 5th, 2022 – NINE MILE METALS LTD. ( CSE:NINE, OTCQB:STVGF,
FSE:KQ9) (the “ Company” or “Nine Mile ”) is pleased to announce the completion of the phase 1 drill
program on the Company’s flagship Nine Mile Brook VMS Project on southern target zones # 1 and # 2.
Seven (7) diamond drill holes were completed including five (5) target drill holes and two (2) borehole EM
drill holes.
At target zone #1, five (5) drill holes were collared to drill the sample area, collect samples for assay and
mineralogy, and for analysis by EarthEX Geophysical Solutions Inc. (“EarthEX”) for physical properties. The
results of the EarthEx study will assist in defining the survey parameters for upcoming ground and borehole
electro-magnetic surveys.
The Company is very pleased to report that they have hit visual mineralization on all five (5) VMS target
DDH drill holes with intersections ranging from 9 meters to 14 meters+ of high-grade VMS mineralization
(Copper, Lead, Zinc). In all five (5) VMS target drill holes, abundant pyrit e, chalcopyrite , sphalerite, and
galena were observed in drill core locally mixed with sediments. The style of mineralization varied from
banded, massive to disseminated, the latter typical for sphalerite. This style of mineralization is typical of
the VMS occurrences in the Bathurst Mining Camp (“BMC”). Several core photos are displayed below.
Included in the drill program were two (2) exploratory holes, both 200 meters in depth. They were drilled
to facilitate a bore hole electro-magnetic geophysical survey (“BHEM”) designed to test the Willet Horizon
which hosts the VMS mineralization at the VMS (target zone #1) and 250 meters to the north at target
zone #2. The BHEM survey will be completed shortly and will detect any subsurface VMS mineralization
associated with the horizon, outline the size and shape of the previously defined VMS intersections , and
identify additional mineralization along strike and at depth.

Massive VMS Mineralization – Chalcopyrite (Cu), Sphalerite (Zn), and Galena (Pb).
Silver (Ag) and Gold (Au) to be determined.

Next Steps are to log, photograph, measure and cut the core for assay submission to the ALS Global facility
in Moncton, New Brunswick. Prior to submission to the lab, the Company will use X-ray fluorescence
(“XRF”) on the core samples to obtain an indication of the grades expected.
XRF is a non-destructive analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of materials
such as drill core . XRF analyzers determine the chemistry of a sample by measuring the fluorescent (or
secondary) X-ray emitted from a sample when it is excited by a primary X -ray source. It should be noted
that the results only provide an indication of the amount of Cu, Pb and Zn presen t. Assaying of the core
samples is still required to accurately determine the amount of base metal and precious metal
mineralization. (Copper-Lead-Zinc-Silver and Gold).
“We couldn’t be more pleased to report we have just completed Phase 1 of our drill program on our
flagship Nine Mile Brook VMS Project . Having hit wide intersections of mineralization with high
concentrations in Copper, Lead, and Zinc, we look forward to t he Borehole EM Survey so we can get a
definition of the subsurface mineralized body and other potential VMS clusters beneath the surface. We
are very confident these assays will return grades very similar to our previously reported samples in our
press release dated Jan 26, 2022 (excerpt featured below), stated Gary Lohman, B.Sc., P . Geo. who acts
as the Company’s Qualified Person, and is a member of Nine Mile’s Technical Advisory Committee.

In addition to the h igh-grade Lead-Zinc, the Silver, Gold and Copper a ssay results were exceptional. The
Silver ranged from 1.54 oz to 14.47 oz/ton.
“We look forward to the next stage of our exploration program. We have filed for the Permits for the (2)
Downhole EM Surveys in this phase 1 d rill program, and we are also awaiting EarthEX Geophysical
Solution’s proprietary 3D-AI analysis modeling for the entire Nine Mile Brook Project Claims with target
