Nicola Mining Inc. Resumes Operations at New Craigmont Project

By: Newsfile

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 28, 2023) - Nicola Mining Inc. (TSXV: NIM) (FSE: HLI), (the "Company" or "Nicola") is pleased to announce that it has completed mill upgrades and has commenced milling operations with material supplied from Osisko Development Corp. (NYSE: ODV) (TSXV: ODV) ("Osisko"). The Company announced in its January 9, 2023 news release that the two parties had signed a Mining and Milling Profit Share Agreement (the "Osisko Agreement").

The Company has noticed a significant increase in mining related activity in British Columbia and is currently in discussions with multiple parties about future mining and milling profit share agreements, in addition to the Osisko Agreement.

As the only facility in the Province of British Columbia permitted to accept third party gold and silver mill feed from throughout the province, the Company is poised to benefit from the increased activity.

Given the increased demand for Nicola's mill, the Company is considering increasing the size of its ball mill up to 500 tonnes a day, from its current capacity of 200 tonnes, optimizing performance. The modern mill was constructed with the premises that it may be upgraded for increased throughput in the future. Its floatation capacity is already able to handle increased production.

Peter Espig, CEO of Nicola, commented, “We are excited about the increasingly optimistic environment in the BC mining industry, as highlighted by the recent news that Artemis Gold Inc. had secured a BC Mines Act Permit for its Blackwater Gold Project. We are receiving more and more inquiries with regards to mining and milling partnerships for both long term agreements and bulk samples. In addition, to recommencing gold production, we are finalizing 2023 plans for the first stage of exploration at our flagship property, New Craigmont Copper Project.”
