Nicola Mining Expands Gravel Pit Operations and Completes Cement Ready Mix Plant

Nicola Mining Inc. together with partner Lower Nicola Site Services Ltd. has announced the long-term expansion of its wholly owned gravel pit and completion of construction of its cement ready mix plant. The company secured two significant permits that enable substantial operational growth and extended mine life. A Notice of Departure at the New Craigmont Project allows extraction of up to 3.0 million tonnes of inert rock material at approximately 1,500 tonnes per day, representing a major increase in production capacity.

The company also received an extension of its gravel pit mine life alongside a provincial highway permit dated September 5, 2025. These developments mark significant milestones for Nicola Mining's operational capabilities and strategic positioning in the mining sector. The expansion of Permit G1519 demonstrates the company's commitment to growing its aggregate operations while diversifying into related construction materials through the newly completed cement ready mix facility.

The company maintains additional resources for stakeholders interested in following its progress, with the latest news and updates relating to HUSIF available in the company's newsroom at https://ibn.fm/HUSIF.

The completion of the cement ready mix plant represents a strategic diversification for Nicola Mining, allowing the company to leverage its existing mining operations to produce value-added construction materials. This vertical integration potentially creates additional revenue streams while optimizing the use of resources extracted from the expanded gravel pit operations. The timing of these developments coincides with increased infrastructure spending and construction activity in British Columbia and surrounding regions.

These operational expansions position Nicola Mining for enhanced production capabilities and potentially improved financial performance. The ability to process up to 1,500 tonnes per day of inert rock material represents a substantial increase in the company's aggregate production capacity. The extended mine life ensures longer-term operational stability and resource availability for both the gravel pit operations and the newly completed cement ready mix plant.
