Nicola Mining Inc. (TSX.V: NIM) (FSE: HLIA) (OTCQB: HUSIF) has announced the addition of Vicente García to its team as Senior Geologist, a move that significantly bolsters the company's copper exploration efforts. With over seven years of experience in diverse geological systems, García's expertise is expected to be instrumental in Nicola Mining's 2025 exploration activities, especially at the New Craigmont copper project.
Peter Espig, CEO of Nicola Mining, emphasized the strategic value of García's appointment, reflecting the company's dedication to progressing its copper exploration projects. García will collaborate with Will Whitty, VP of Exploration, to evaluate potential targets at the Treasure Mountain Silver Mine, further enhancing Nicola Mining's standing in the mining industry.
The New Craigmont Project, entirely owned by Nicola Mining, is a high-grade copper property spanning 10,913 hectares, located next to Highland Valley Copper, the largest copper mine in Canada. This advantageous positioning, along with García's international experience from his tenure at Anglo American and Dahrouge Geological Consulting, sets Nicola Mining on a path for notable progress in copper exploration.
Beyond copper, Nicola Mining Inc. operates a fully permitted mill and tailings facility near Merritt, British Columbia, equipped to process gold and silver mill feed. The company's broad portfolio and strategic recruitment of professionals like García highlight its goal to emerge as a frontrunner in the mining sector, addressing the worldwide need for copper and other valuable metals.
