Nine Mile Metals Initiates Drilling on California Lake South High Priority Target Plate A with 850 Meter Diamond Drill Hole EEX-P01
Nine Mile Metals has initiated a diamond drill program at California Lake South to test Priority Plate Target A. The program includes three important drill holes (A-B-C), with Plate A being a deep, large conductor spanning 600 meters in length. The first drill hole will reach a maximum depth of 850 meters at an azimuth of 110 degrees and -60 degrees dip. Plates B and C are also high-priority targets, with Plate B being shallow and Plate C extending 700 meters in length with a 500-meter depth. The drilling parameters for all plates have been designed by EarthEx Geophysical Solutions.
Nine Mile Metals ha avviato un programma di perforazione a carotaggio con diamante presso California Lake South per testare l’Obiettivo Placca Prioritaria A. Il programma include tre importanti perforazioni (A-B-C), con la Placca A che è un conduttore profondo e ampio che si estende per 600 metri in lunghezza. La prima perforazione raggiungerà una profondità massima di 850 metri con un azimut di 110 gradi e un'inclinazione di -60 gradi. Le placche B e C sono anche obiettivi di alta priorità, con la Placca B che è poco profonda e la Placca C che si estende per 700 metri in lunghezza con una profondità di 500 metri. I parametri di perforazione per tutte le placche sono stati progettati da EarthEx Geophysical Solutions.

Les plaques B et C sont également des cibles de haute priorité, la Plaque B étant peu profonde et la Plaque C s'étendant sur 700 mètres de long avec une profondeur de 500 mètres. Les paramètres de forage pour toutes les plaques ont été conçus par EarthEx Geophysical Solutions.
Nine Mile Metals hat ein Diamantbohrprogramm am California Lake South gestartet, um das Prioritätsplattentarget A zu testen. Das Programm umfasst drei wichtige Bohrlöcher (A-B-C), wobei Platte A ein tiefer, großer Leiter ist, der sich über 600 Meter erstreckt. Das erste Bohrloch wird eine maximale Tiefe von 850 Metern mit einem Azimut von 110 Grad und einer Neigung von -60 Grad erreichen. Die Platten B und C sind ebenfalls hochpriorisierte Ziele, wobei Platte B flach und Platte C 700 Meter lang und 500 Meter tief ist. Die Bohrparameter für alle Platten wurden von EarthEx Geophysical Solutions entworfen.
- Large-scale drilling program targeting three well-defined conductors
- Potentially large mineralized body consistent with BMC deposits
- Strategic location in underexplored area with minimal previous drilling
- Deep drilling required (850m) which increases operational costs
- Results from previous drilling in the area were
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 30, 2024) - NINE MILE METALS LTD. (CSE: NINE) (OTC Pink: VMSXF) (FSE: KQ9) (the "Company" or "Nine Mile") is pleased to provide an update on its California Lake Phase 2 Drill Program. Nine Mile Metals has initiated its diamond drill program at California Lake to test Priority Plate Target A, defined by EarthEx Geophysical Solutions Inc. (EEX). Les Forages Chapais is onsite, initiating the first of three important drill holes (A-B-C) at California Lake South.
Plate A is a deep, large, strong conductor located near the fold nose, defined within a geological package that includes Flat Landing Brook felsic and mafic volcanics-related sediments. The plate, with a length of 600 meters and open at depth, is a high priority target. Previous drilling in the immediate area is minimal and limited to a few shallow drill holes. EarthEx has recommended drilling the target at an azimuth of 110 degrees and a dip of -60 degrees to intersect the most conductive portion of the target plate. The drill hole depth will be a maximum of 850 meters (see Figures 1 and 2).
Plates B and C are also high priority targets, both well-defined with strong conductors related to the overall MegaTEM trend. Plate B is a discreet and shallow target dipping steeply east. The azimuth of the planned drill hole is 275 degrees with a dip of -60 degrees and a maximum depth of 300 meters. Plate C is large, dipping to the west, with a length of 700 meters and a projected depth extent of 500 meters. The azimuth of the planned drill hole is 275 degrees with a dip of -60 degrees. EarthEx has designed the drilling parameters for Plates B and C, as shown in Figure 2.

Gary Lohman, Director, P.Geo., VP Exploration stated, "The team is pleased to be at the drill stage at California Lake South with well-defined and modeled targets. 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. We are very much looking forward to getting the program underway and testing this underexplored, highly prospective area at the folded nose of California Lake South in the BMC."
Patrick J. Cruickshank, MBA, CEO and Director added, "We are finally receiving all of our Phase 2 Advanced Geophysics results, including full interpretations and high priority targets for our Western Portfolio. We look forward to announcing these results shortly. Our Geophysics Program will turn its focus next to the Nine Mile Brook Project and our Eastern Portfolio."
