Nicola Mining Inc. (TSX.V: NIM) (FSE: HLIA) (OTCQB: HUSIF) has been selected by the Association for Mineral Exploration to showcase copper-focused drill core from its recent New Craigmont exploration programs in the AME Core Shack during AME Roundup, scheduled for January 26–29, 2026, at the Vancouver Convention Centre East. The company will present high-grade New Craigmont core with geological explanations in booth 825 of the Core Shack on January 28 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and January 29 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., providing attendees an opportunity to discuss recent findings with Nicola's geologists.
This selection for the prestigious AME Core Shack is significant because it places Nicola Mining's exploration results alongside other promising mineral projects, offering direct exposure to industry professionals, investors, and analysts during one of the world's premier mineral exploration conferences. The event facilitates critical technical dialogue that can influence investment and partnership decisions within the mining sector.
In addition, Nicola will participate in the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference, hosted by Cambridge House, taking place January 25–26, 2026, at the Vancouver Convention Centre, where the company will exhibit at booth 111 and CEO Peter Espig will meet with investors and stakeholders. Participation in this concurrent investment-focused conference allows the company to bridge technical exploration data with financial market outreach, a dual-strategy approach crucial for junior mining companies seeking development capital.
The core being showcased originates from the company's 100% owned New Craigmont Project, a high-grade copper property covering 10,913 hectares along the southern end of the Guichon Batholith. Its location is strategically adjacent to Highland Valley Copper, Canada's largest copper mine, suggesting geological potential within a proven mining district. The company's news and updates are available in its newsroom at https://ibn.fm/HUSIF.
For the mining industry and investors, these presentations are important as they provide tangible evidence of exploration progress. High-grade core samples offer a physical verification of assay results and geological models, which is essential for de-risking projects and attracting further investment. Showcasing at these events can enhance a junior company's profile, potentially impacting its ability to secure funding for advanced exploration or feasibility studies.
The broader implication lies in the global demand for copper, a critical metal for electrification and renewable energy infrastructure. Successful exploration and development of new copper deposits in stable jurisdictions like British Columbia are vital for securing future supply chains. Nicola Mining's activities contribute to this landscape, and its participation in these conferences represents a step in advancing a potential new source of this essential commodity.
