Nicola Mining Inc. (TSX.V: NIM) (FSE: HLIA) (OTCQB: HUSIF) has officially transitioned from trial processing to long-term gold and silver concentrate production at its Merritt Mill in British Columbia. This milestone was achieved following a 3,100-tonne high-grade ore shipment from Talisker Resources Ltd. (TSX: TSK) (OTCQX: TSKFF), which is advancing its Mustang Project. The Merritt Mill has undergone significant upgrades, including the implementation of automation, gravity separation, and water recirculation systems, aimed at improving operational efficiency and environmental sustainability.
Beyond processing ore from Talisker, Nicola Mining has forged a partnership with Blue Lagoon Resources (CSE: BLLG) (OTCQB: BLAGF) (FSE: 7BL) and is gearing up to process bulk samples from the Dominion Creek Gold Project. With a 75% economic interest in this project, Nicola Mining is reinforcing its standing in the mining sector. CEO Peter Espig emphasized the strategic value of the company's M-68 Mine Permit and the favorable regulatory environment in British Columbia for responsibly managed mining activities.
The initiation of long-term production at the Merritt Mill is a critical achievement for Nicola Mining, demonstrating its capacity to utilize cutting-edge milling technologies and strategic alliances to bolster both the local and national economy. The company's dedication to sustainable and efficient mining practices is reflected in its operational improvements and collaborative ventures.
