This expansion allows for simultaneous drilling at the Tribag-West targets and the existing Wedge Mine as part of the company's 10,000-metre 2026 program. Reasoning: The announcement details the mobilization of a second rig to test high-priority geophysical targets, representing a significant operational step forward in the 2026 drill program. - Positive factor: Mobilization of second drill rig increases exploration capacity - Positive factor: High-priority TDEM targets identified at Tribag-West Wedge - Positive factor: Ongoing drilling at Wedge Mine provides continuity - Negative factor: Drill rig arrival delayed due to market demand Facts used in scoring: 20 ## Classification and evidence **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Story-specific tag Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: The company is targeting areas along the same magnetic trend as the historic Wedge Mine.

Why it applies: true\_width\_m is 14.15 **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: qaqc\_disclosed is not true **Cut-off Undisclosed** Polarity: negative Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing. Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated **Metal Equivalent Opaque** Polarity: negative Definition: Metal equivalent grade reported without disclosing the price, recovery, or payability assumptions used. Why it applies: an equivalent grade is reported without its assumptions **Stale Data Re-release** Polarity: negative Definition: Historical results re-announced with no new assays or reinterpretation — low genuine novelty. Why it applies: the fact restates a prior release **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: proximity is offered as the value premise: "Program progress: As of September 21, 2026, the Company had completed 18 drill holes and 4,934.50 metres of its 10,000-m" ### Wd-26-14 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/nine-mile-metals-mobilizes-second-drill-rig-to-the-tribag-west-wedge-target-area--432f2357-6083-41af-a012-2e03993effef#fact-drill-facts-18) Historical result Needs review: historical\_restatement #### Identity - Hole ID: Wd-26-14 - Region: canada\_nb - Reported Region: canada\_nb - Ticker: NINE #### Geometry - Intercept: 24 m - True Width: 24 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill #### QA/QC - Laboratory: ALS Global - QP Signed: Yes - QA/QC Methods: standards #### Metal Equivalent - Metal Eq.

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.
