(CSE:NINE) is in an active phase of exploration at its Wedge project in the Bathurst Mining Camp, New Brunswick, a region with a substantial mining history but, in the company's view, considerable untested potential. The Wedge deposit was partially mined decades ago before falling commodity prices and operational constraints brought work to a halt, and historic records suggest only a fraction of the deposit was ever extracted. Nine Mile's current strategy is built on testing the ground that was left behind, both laterally and at depth.The company is midway through its largest drill programme to date, a 10,000-metre campaign that follows smaller efforts in the falls of 2024 and 2025. The current phase targets the eastern extension of the deposit, the western flank beyond a fault structure that disrupted earlier drilling, and the system's depth potential, alongside two additional target areas known as West Wedge and TriBag. Two completed holes have already returned long intervals of visible copper-bearing mineralisation, at 234 metres and 130 metres respectively, including a horizon at depth that does not appear in any historic record for the property. This is a meaningful distinction for investors: the company is exploring genuinely new ground rather than reinterpreting previously known mineralisation.Beyond these results, Nine Mile has identified three separate mineralised lenses within the Wedge system, including a high-grade copper zone that returned grades between 5% and 8% copper before a fault structure interrupted the original hole. The current programme is designed to re-approach that zone from the opposite side of the fault, with deeper holes planned to test both its lateral extent and how far...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/1wv-MFlQAgnm-ca64e5kK4984dZB0os8-HJdRVsI74M/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzEzNTcyLzE2MjM5/NTQyMDctYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
