Nine Mile Metals Intersects 9.85 m at 2.74% Zinc and 33 m of Lead-Zinc-Bearing VMS Mineralisation at Wedge Mine

Published: Aug 26, 2026 10:39

Nine Mile Metals reported certified assays from drill hole WD-26-07 at the Wedge Mine in New Brunswick’s Bathurst Mining Camp. The hole was collared on the southwest edge of the drill pattern, at an azimuth of 325 degrees and dip of -53 degrees, to a depth of 224 m. Upper Zone 1 returned 9.85 m from 80.15 m to 90 m grading 23.34 g/t Ag, 0.41 g/t Au, 0.54% Cu, 0.52% Pb and 2.74% Zn, or 2.10% CuEq, including 7.35 m grading 3.56% Zn and 0.70% Pb.

Lower Zone 2 returned 33 m from 105 m to 138 m grading 12.72 g/t Ag, 0.20 g/t Au, 1.46% Cu, 0.40% Pb and 0.80% Zn, or 2.12% CuEq. This included 24 m at 2.77% CuEq and 9.2 m at 4.14% CuEq. Nine Mile Metals plans to incorporate the results into 3D modelling toward an updated NI 43-101 technical report and a future mineral resource estimate.

On August 26, Yunnan Chihong Zinc & Germanium released its 2026 interim report. The report showed that the company produced 146,500 tonnes of contained lead-zinc metal in concentrates in January-June 2026, down 5,100 tonnes YoY, or 3.36%. At Qinghai Hongxin, the company proactively optimized its production structure to capitalize on favorable market conditions and high sulfur concentrate prices. Sulfur pyrite processing increased by 113,100 tonnes, while lead-zinc ore processing was reduced accordingly, resulting in a 6,400-tonne YoY decrease in contained lead-zinc metal production.
