# Nine Mile Metals Announces Phase 3 XRF High-Grade Results up to 26.14% Copper with 1.03% Antimony from the Upper Pre Drill Area at the Wedge Copper - Gold Project, BMC, NB Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/nine-mile-metals-announces-phase-3-xrf-high-grade-results-up-to-26-14-copper-wit--49c293d4-0dcf-4cc1-9f3c-e1d5acba4b05 Original source: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/nine-mile-metals-announces-phase-131500789.html Publisher: yahoo\_press Original announcement: 2025-11-05T13:15:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: NINE MILE METALS LTD. - Ticker: NINE - Exchange: CSE - Region: New Brunswick, Canada - Primary commodity: Copper - Secondary commodities: Lead, Zinc, Silver, Gold, Antimony - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-09-12 11:29:11 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Nine Mile Metals has announced high-grade XRF results from pre-drill sampling at the Wedge Copper-Gold Project in New Brunswick. The samples show copper grades up to 26.14% and include antimony at 1.03%, targeting VMS mineralization. Reasoning: The announcement reports exceptionally high copper grades from XRF pre-drill sampling, indicating significant potential in the northwestern drill area, though the presence of antimony and the use of XRF rather than lab assays requires caution. - Positive factor: High-grade copper intercepts \(up to 26.14%\) - Positive factor: VMS mineralization style identified - Positive factor: Presence of multiple precious and base metals - Negative factor: Presence of antimony \(1.03%\) which may act as a penalty element - Negative factor: Results are from XRF pre-drill samples, not certified laboratory assays Facts used in scoring: 2 ## Classification and evidence **Deleterious Elements Present** Polarity: negative Definition: A source-stated penalty, refractory or recovery concern in the fact's scope. Element detection alone, including measured elements explicitly below penalty thresholds, does not trigger this tag. Respect negation and retain a separately stated concern even when another risk is explicitly absent. Why it applies: The release explicitly mentions 1.03% antimony, which is a common penalty element. Evidence · text > 1.03% Antimony **No QA/QC Disclosure** Polarity: negative Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document. Why it applies: The results are reported as XRF pre-drill results, which are screening tools rather than certified laboratory assays.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
