(CSE: NINE | OTCQB: VMSXF | FSE: KQ9) (the “Company” or “Nine Mile”) is pleased to announce assay results for DDH WD-26-18 at the Wedge VMS Project in the Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick. DDH WD-26-18 was collared along the northeast edge of our drill pattern, (oriented at 145°, angled -50° below horizontal), to a depth of 302 meters. Collared in felsic volcanics, sulphide mineralogy was first intersected between 44.6 and 47.0 meters with pyrite and minor chalcopyrite continuing to 128.1 meters followed by a 2.6-meter transition consisting of 15 – 20% pyrite in a soft, black chloritic matrix followed by very fine grained to cherty felsic volcanics. Between 130.7 and 142.35 fine grained, pyritic massive sulphide was intersected characterized by pyrite, chalcopyrite, local sphalerite and galena bands in addition to minor bornite / covellite along fractures. At the base of the section, interbedded graphitic sediments and mafic volcanics continue to the end of the drill hole. The intersections reported are of true widths. Gary Lohman, P.Geo., VP Exploration and Director, stated, “As we drilled from the north along the eastern edge of the drill pattern, we continue to extend the footprint of the mineralization previously intersected in drill holes WD-24-02, WD-24-04, WD-24-05, WD-24-06 and WD-24-07. WD-26-18 best demonstrates the very high grade, multi-element nature of this deposit. We have some outstanding traditional VMS mineralization. The 11.65m massive sulphide intersection averaged 7.13% Cu-Eq, with a 6.70m core of 9.93% Cu-Eq in which every sample exceeded 8.4% Cu-Eq, carrying 71 to 136 g/t silver and 1.16 to 2.40 g/t gold. Silver and gold together account for roughly a third of the in situ value, so the Cu-Eq calculation benefits from both the base and precious metals in the VMS horizon. The 31.50m of copper stringer mineralization above the lens is also encouraging, as stringer zones of this type typically sit close to the feeder system of a VMS deposit. With BHEM surveying scheduled, follow-up drilling will test the extent of this lens along strike and at depth.” FIGURE 1: Sample #396690 (101 g/t Ag, 2.17 g/t Au, 6.83% Cu, 0.36% Pb, 0.35% Zn)  10.74% Cu-EqBornite & Covellite TABLE 1 · DDH WD-26-18 CERTIFIED ASSAYS – (SAMPLE BY SAMPLE) From (m) To (m) Width (m) Sample # Silver (g/t) Gold (g/t) Copper (%) Lead (%) Zinc (%) Copper- Eq.

Prior to new drilling in May 2026, (3) BHEM surveys will be conducted on last fall’s previous holes, to assist in vectoring in on recently defined new VMS Zones and associated high-grade copper mineralization, (2) BHEM surveys in the Northwest area and (1) BHEM survey in the high-grade Southwest Area”. Patrick J. Cruickshank, MBA, CEO & Director, stated “we are thrilled with the results of this hole. The drill results continue to show impressive high-grade results through different styles and zonation of mineralization. We have seen High Grade Cu, High Grade Cu with Ag, Huge Grade Cu with Au, and  a traditional VMS lens model. Had this hole not terminated due to a fault and water loss, we would have truly seen a special high-grade Cu – Ag Lens. Our Spring Phase 3 drill program will be exciting, and we will be able to drill from locations that best expose the value this deposit has to offer. We will drill  from the other side of this fault and expose the entire High-Grade Lens and its magnitude. Having multiple zonation’s of mineralization is a valuable perspective and brings a host of opportunity for us. We look forward to sharing our next result & launching our Phase 3 program including our West Wedge & Tribag Drill initiative.”  FIGURE 3: Massive Copper bearing, Pyritic VMS FIGURE 4: Drill Hole Locations, WD-25-01, WD-25-02B     TABLE 3: Summary of Results, Drill Holes WD-25-01, WD-25-02 and WD-25-02B  HOLE #   From To Width Ag Au Cu Pb Zn Cu Eq     (m.)

Locally visible Chalcopyrite, Sphalerite and Galena occur as seen in the figures 3, 4 and 5 below. “This drill hole was intriguing, not only confirming the presence of high-grade copper at depth but also containing a significant precious metal component previously not recognized or reported at the Wedge. In our 2024 drilling on the eastern extension, both Au and Ag are present in the assays however the widths were much smaller and associated with copper, lead and zinc rich intervals. This further demonstrates the robust nature of the mineralization at the Wedge” commented Gary Lohman, P.Geo., VP Exploration & Director. Patrick J. Cruickshank, MBA, CEO & Director, stated “Tremendous result on Hole WD-25-1 at the Wedge Mine. This clearly demonstrates the high-grade nature and the diverse composition at the Wedge Deposit. This is a completely different VMS Style Lens again. This is a diverse and unique deposit that continues to show its economic and high-grade potential. This is a high-grade Gold – Silver Burst not a Copper only style like Lens #3 we discovered. We look forward to our 2026 Drill Program at this deposit and unlock more high-grade surprises at depth and along the western corridor.”  Analysis and QAQC All samples were submitted to and analyzed at Activation Laboratories Ltd. (ActLabs) Ancaster Ontario, an independent commercial laboratory for both the sample preparation and assaying. Actlabs is a commercial laboratory independent of Nine Mile Metals Ltd. Samples submitted through Actlabs are run through standard preparation methods and analysed using Code 8 Peroxide ICP-OES+MS which is a high-grade four acid digestion and ICP+MS analysis. Gold analysis is done by standard fire assay (1A2) using a 30-gram sample. Overlimit assays are done by gravimetric analysis (1A3). Actlabs undertakes their own QA/AC protocols including coarse and pulp duplicate analysis to ensure proper sample preparation and equipment calibration.  Nine Mile’s QAQC program includes regular insertion of CRM standards, duplicates, and blanks into the sample stream with a stringent review of all results. QAQC and data validation was performed, and no material errors were observed. The disclosure of technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements as set out in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and reviewed and approved by Gary Lohman, B.Sc., PGeo., VP Exploration and Director who acts as the Company’s Qualified Person, and is not independent of the Company. Copper Equivalent (Cu-Eq) for the drill hole samples is calculated based on March 6, 2026, pricing: US$ 5.78/lb Cu, US$ 0.86/lb Pb, US$ 1.47/lb Zn, US$ 84.34/oz Ag, and US$ 5172.00/oz Au, with 80% metallurgical recoveries assumed for all metals. Since it is unclear which metals will be the principal products, assuming different recoveries is premature at this stage. Therefore, an 80% recovery rate is justified. About Nine Mile Metals Ltd.:Nine Mile Metals Ltd. is a Canadian public mineral exploration company focused on VMS (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag and Au) exploration in the world-famous Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick, Canada. The Company’s primary business objective is to explore its four VMS Projects: Nine Mile Brook VMS Project; California Lake VMS Project; and the Canoe Landing Lake (East – West) Project and the Wedge VMS Project.
