Nicola Mining Inc. (TSXV: NIM) (FSE: HLI) (OTCQB: HUSIF) is a junior mining company with diversified operations in British Columbia. The company recently signed a non-binding letter of intent with Nittetsu Mining Co. Ltd. to establish a joint venture for the New Craigmont Copper Project, showcasing strategic partnerships and growth opportunities. Nicola Mining also owns a high-grade copper property, the New Craigmont Project, and the Treasure Mountain Property. With a focus on milling profit share agreements and exploration programs, Nicola Mining is poised for continued success in the mining industry.
Nicola Mining (HUSIF) has completed its 2024 Drilling Exploration Program at the New Craigmont Copper Project, totaling 4,874m across 14 holes. The program revealed significant copper findings in the previously unexplored MARB/CAS Zones, with notable intercepts including:
- 52.90m of 1.03% copper in the Embayment Zone (including 13m of 3.46% Cu)
- 75.0m of 0.36% copper in hole NC-24-001
- 40.5m of 0.10% copper in near-surface mineralization
The drilling program confirmed near-surface chalcopyrite mineralization and the presence of faults and dykes within Guichon host rock, suggesting Craigmont mineralization is part of a larger copper system. The company plans follow-up drilling in 2025 to target deeper mineralization beneath the MARB outcrop and explore the WP showing, which features significant malachite and chalcopyrite mineralization.
Nicola Mining Inc. (HUSIF) has released its 2024 Year in Review, highlighting key achievements and 2025 outlook. The company prepaid $1.17M in debentures, leaving a $4.13M balance. Major developments include:
- Completion of a 3D IP survey at New Craigmont Copper Project
- Execution of milling agreement with Talisker Resources
- Construction of a cement plant with secured 2025 contracts
- Extensive drilling program with 14 holes totaling 4,878 metres
- Ten-year mining lease extension for Treasure Mountain through April 2032
The company's 2025 priorities focus on copper exploration at New Craigmont, expanding gold and silver production through mill upgrades, and developing the Treasure Mountain project following its permit extension.
Nicola Mining (TSXV: NIM) has completed its 2024 drilling exploration program at the New Craigmont Copper Project, totaling 4,872m across 14 holes. The program covered three phases: the West Craigmont-WP target (~1,829.70m), the unexplored MARB-CAS Zones, and a step-out towards the Embayment Zone.
The company has made a $137,700 deposit for a Notice of Work and Reclamation Program at the Dominion Creek Gold/Silver Project, where it owns a 75% economic interest and plans a bulk sample in 2025.
Additionally, Nicola has completed a flow-through private placement offering, selling 1,641,790 shares at $0.335 per share for gross proceeds of $550,000. The proceeds will be used to follow up on the 2024 Program.
Nicola Mining has shipped approximately 55 dry tonnes (64 wet tonnes) of concentrate produced jointly with Talisker Resources, containing an estimated grade of 97.75 grams gold per tonne. The concentrate grades have improved during the milling process due to enhanced gold capture through gravity and tabling processes. The processing occurs at Nicola's Merritt Mill, a $30.0 million facility that is uniquely positioned as the only facility in British Columbia permitted to accept third-party gold and silver mill feed province-wide. The Company has secured an offtake agreement with Ocean Partners UK for concentrate sales. Additionally, Nicola is currently conducting drilling operations at the Embayment Zone, following drilling at West Craigmont-WP and MARB-CAS targets.
Nicola Mining Inc. (TSXV: NIM) (OTCQB: HUSIF) provides updates on its operations and exploration activities:
1. Merritt Mill: Producing gold concentrate from Talisker Resources' mill feed, with initial sale expected in September. It's the only facility in BC permitted to accept third-party gold and silver mill feed province-wide.
2. New Craigmont Copper Project: 2024 exploration program underway with 1,500m of 5,000m planned drilling completed. Initial results show encouraging alteration and mineralization, aligning with expectations for a porphyry system's periphery.
3. Treasure Mountain Mine: Received a important 10-year mining lease extension until April 26, 2032. The mine has a history of silver, lead, and zinc production, with potential for reopening.
CEO Peter Espig expressed excitement about current operations and ongoing exploration, highlighting the synergy between Merritt Mill and Treasure Mountain.
Nicola Mining Inc. (TSXV: NIM) (OTCQB: HUSIF) has begun processing gold mill feed from Talisker Resources at its Merritt Mill, the only facility in British Columbia permitted to accept third-party gold and silver mill feed province-wide. The company has completed mill upgrades, including a water recirculation system and process automation, enhancing efficiency and safety.
Nicola has also started its 2024 diamond drilling program, targeting copper porphyry and skarn mineralization at the WP Zone. To boost investor awareness, the company has engaged Red Cloud Financial Services for media and marketing services. CEO Peter Espig noted a significant increase in operational activities and interest in milling agreements, indicating heightened mining activity in the province.
Nicola Mining has completed a 3D induced polarization (IP) survey at its New Craigmont Copper Project near Merritt, BC. The survey, conducted by Dias Geophysical, covered approximately 6.5 square kilometers and focused on the MARB-CAS and West Craigmont Zones. Key findings include significant resistivity and chargeability anomalies that indicate potential copper-rich areas. Based on these results, Nicola has commenced its 2024 diamond drilling program, targeting 5,000 meters of core drilling. Initial drilling will focus on the West Craigmont Zone, with possible expansion to the MARB/CAS areas later in the summer.
Nicola Mining and High Range Exploration have initiated work at the Dominion Creek Gold/Silver Project. Nicola Mining has provided $50,000 in funding to High Range Exploration for road construction, which will support bulk sample exploration after a permit is obtained. Nicola holds a 75% economic interest in Dominion. High Range received support from First Nations and submitted a revised 10,000-tonne bulk sample application to the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation. Past sampling at Dominion revealed high-grade gold and silver results but progress was delayed due to COVID-19 and permit adjustments. Work began in early June 2024.
Nicola Mining has begun a 3D induced polarization (IP) survey at its New Craigmont Copper Project, located near Merritt, BC. Dias Geophysical is conducting this survey to refine two key exploration zones: MARB-CAS and WP-MARB 72. The survey spans approximately 6.5 square kilometers and aims to enhance the 2024 diamond drilling program. Historical IP surveys have shown strong correlations between chargeability anomalies and copper mineralization. This survey is expected to identify potential extensions and new drilling targets, particularly in areas with previously detected anomalies. Nicola Mining uses advanced 3D array technology to survey depths up to 700 meters, promising to improve the delineation of mineralized zones.
