Nicola Mining Inc. described 2025 as its most transformative year, driven by disciplined execution and operational milestones across its British Columbia precious-metal portfolio. The company focused on exploration, permitting, and revenue initiatives against a favorable gold and silver market, beginning with February drill results that expanded the Embayment Zone and confirmed near-surface mineralization supporting a larger copper system at its Craigmont property.
The company subsequently received draft and final bulk sample permits for its high-grade Dominion Creek Gold Project, enabling a structured 10,000-tonne bulk sample in partnership with High Range Exploration Ltd. This initiative was supported by a successful private placement at $0.28 per unit, providing additional capital for project advancement. Financial stability improved significantly through the reduction of the current portion of outstanding convertible debentures from $4.48 million at the start of 2025 to zero by December 1.
Analyst coverage expanded into the United States through Noble Capital Markets alongside existing coverage from Atrium Research in Canada, increasing visibility for the company's projects.

Full details of the transformative year are available in the complete press release at https://nnw.fm/5XV8O.
Operational achievements included advancing the 100% owned New Craigmont Project, a high-grade copper property covering 10,913 hectares along the southern end of the Guichon Batholith, adjacent to Highland Valley Copper, Canada's largest copper mine. The company also maintains a 100% owned mill and tailings facility near Merritt, British Columbia, fully permitted to process both gold and silver mill feed via gravity and flotation processes.
These developments position Nicola Mining with improved financial stability and advanced projects as it enters 2026, with multiple revenue-generating opportunities progressing through various development stages. The elimination of convertible debt removes a significant financial overhang, while expanded analyst coverage provides greater market awareness of the company's assets and progress.
