Nicola Mining Inc. (TSX.V: NIM) (FSE: HLIA) (OTCQB: HUSIF) has commenced its 2025 diamond drilling campaign at the New Craigmont Copper Project, located near Merritt, British Columbia. This ambitious program aims to drill between 4,000 and 5,000 meters across five priority zones, including two new targets identified through artificial intelligence in collaboration with ALS Geoanalytics (GoldSpot Discoveries Ltd.). The initiative focuses on exploring porphyry-style copper mineralization and advancing exploration efforts around key areas such as MARB, CAS, West Craigmont/WP, and the newly discovered Draken prospect.
With a budget ranging from $1.5 to $2 million, the drilling campaign is set to continue through September. It incorporates cutting-edge data collection techniques like pXRF and SWIR to enhance geological models and support future exploration strategies. This approach underscores Nicola Mining's commitment to leveraging technology to uncover new mineral resources and optimize exploration processes.
The New Craigmont Copper Project, wholly owned by Nicola Mining, spans 10,913 hectares along the southern end of the Guichon Batholith, adjacent to Highland Valley Copper, Canada's largest copper mine. This strategic location, combined with the use of AI and advanced exploration technologies, positions Nicola Mining to potentially make significant contributions to the copper mining industry, which is crucial for various sectors including renewable energy and electronics.
