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.
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. The company's news and updates are available in its newsroom at https://ibn.fm/HUSIF.
The New Craigmont Project is a high-grade copper property covering 10,913 hectares along the southern end of the Guichon Batholith and is adjacent to Highland Valley Copper, Canada’s largest copper mine. This strategic location positions Nicola Mining in a proven mining district, potentially reducing exploration risk and infrastructure costs compared to more remote projects. For business and technology leaders tracking the critical minerals sector, particularly copper essential for electrification and renewable energy technologies, Nicola's participation in these premier industry events signals active advancement of a significant North American copper asset.
The company also maintains a 100% owned mill and tailings facility near Merritt, British Columbia, with fully permitted operations capable of processing both gold and silver mill feed via gravity and flotation processes. This existing infrastructure provides Nicola with potential operational advantages, including revenue generation from third-party milling agreements while advancing its own exploration projects. The company has signed Mining and Milling Profit Share Agreements with high-grade gold projects, diversifying its potential revenue streams beyond copper exploration.
Nicola Mining additionally owns 100% of the Treasure Mountain Property, which includes 30 mineral claims and a mineral lease spanning an area exceeding 2,200 hectares. The dual participation in both AME Roundup and the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference reflects a comprehensive investor and industry engagement strategy ahead of what could be pivotal years for copper development, given projected supply deficits and increasing demand from green technology sectors.

For industry observers, Nicola's showcase at these events represents more than routine corporate promotion—it offers tangible evidence of exploration progress through physical drill core examination, allowing technical validation by peers and investors in a market increasingly focused on mineral verification and project de-risking. The timing coincides with growing recognition of copper's strategic importance in global energy transitions, potentially elevating interest in companies with advanced projects in stable mining jurisdictions like British Columbia.
