TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA – MONDAY NOVEMBER 3rd, 2025, NINE MILE METALS LTD. (CSE: NINE, OTCQB: VMSXF, FSE: KQ9) (the “Company” or “Nine Mile”), is pleased to announce that Orbit Garant has mobilized a YS2000 Skid Mounted Drill Rig for the upcoming Wedge drill program. The drill rig is enroute from Sudbury Ontario and is anticipated to arrive at Orbit Garant’s facility in Dieppe, New Brunswick on November 3rd for hydraulics servicing and winterization. The expected arrival onsite in Bathurst is Monday November 10th.
Last year’s successful drill program concentrated on the new eastern extension of the Wedge Mine and successfully expanded the footprint of the deposit, supporting our new geophysical technology and interpretation modelling. This drill program focuses on the “new” western extension of the deposit and will also be testing the model at depth. Apex Geoscience, Mike Dufresne, P.Geo. & Technical Advisor, has modelled up to (7) drill holes, (5) Upper Zone & (2) Lower Zone, testing the western copper zone and the body at depth. The objective is to obtain the depth of mineralization of this higher-grade Copper Lens, and to prove a larger western footprint, adding new tonnage to the deposit model. Upon completion, we will add the new drill data to our 3D live Modeling, including Geological, Geophysical and Drill Hole Cross-section results.
Headquartered in Val-d’Or, Quebec, Orbit Garant Drilling is one of Canada’s largest drilling companies providing both underground and surface drilling services in Canada and internationally. With more than 185 drill rigs and over 1000 specialized employees, Orbit Garant offers drilling services to major, intermediate and junior mining companies at every stage of mine exploration, development and production.
Gary Lohman, VP Exploration, Director stated, ”We are looking forward to testing both the western extension and the depth of the deposit with the drill holes designed by Mike Dufresne and the geophysical team at Apex Geoscience. With previous mining and exploration limited to the upper portions of the deposit, this series of drill holes will expand the mineralized footprint, as we accomplished in the east, adding to the resource. All drill holes will be capped on completion to facilitate downhole geophysics (BHEM) which , along with the cross-section drill results, assists in resource 3D modeling and exploration planning. We look forward to sharing our first results”.

Forward-Looking Information:
This press release may include forward-looking information within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation, concerning the business of Nine Mile. Forward-looking information is based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by the management of Nine Mile. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “will,” “may,” “would,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “likely,” “could” and variations of these terms and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements in this press release include that (a) our Geophysics Program will turn its focus next to the Nine Mile Brook Project and our Eastern Portfolio, (b) both Plates A and C are large, massive, strong conductors, having both the length and depth parameters for a potentially large, mineralized body consistent with example deposits throughout the BMC, and (c) we look forward to announcing our Phase 2 Advanced Geophysics results, including full interpretations and high priority targets for our Western Portfolio. Although Nine Mile believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking information is based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking information because Nine Mile can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct.
