Nicola Mining Inc. has priced its U.S. underwritten public offering of 930,233 American Depositary Shares and accompanying warrants at $6.45 per unit, generating expected gross proceeds of approximately $6.0 million. Each ADS represents 12 common shares, and each warrant is exercisable at CAD$12.2213 for five years. The offering represents a significant capital raise for the junior mining company as it seeks to expand operations in British Columbia.
The company intends to use the proceeds for mill expansion, capital expenditures, and working capital. This funding comes at a critical time as Nicola Mining operates a fully permitted mill near Merritt, British Columbia, that can process both gold and silver mill feed via gravity and flotation processes. The mill expansion could enhance the company's processing capacity and efficiency, potentially increasing revenue from its mining and milling profit share agreements with high-grade gold projects.
Nicola Mining's strategic assets include the New Craigmont Project, a high-grade copper property covering 10,913 hectares along the southern end of the Guichon Batholith. This property is adjacent to Highland Valley Copper, Canada's largest copper mine, positioning Nicola Mining in a significant mining district. The company also owns the Treasure Mountain Property, which includes 30 mineral claims and a mineral lease spanning over 2,200 hectares.
The ADSs are expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on April 13, 2026, with closing anticipated on April 14, 2026. The underwriters have been granted a 45-day option to purchase additional securities. This offering provides investors with exposure to a junior mining company with both processing infrastructure and exploration assets in a proven mining region.
