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 Core Shack is significant because it places Nicola Mining’s exploration results alongside those of other promising mineral projects at a premier industry event. The AME Roundup is a key gathering for mineral exploration professionals, investors, and stakeholders in British Columbia and globally. Showcasing core samples allows for direct, tangible examination of the mineralization by experts, which can validate geological interpretations and build technical credibility within the mining community.
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. This dual-conference presence underscores a coordinated effort to engage both the technical exploration sector and the investment community concurrently.
The importance of this news lies in the specific project being highlighted. Nicola Mining owns 100% of the New Craigmont Project, a high-grade copper property covering 10,913 hectares along the southern end of the Guichon Batholith. Critically, the property is adjacent to Highland Valley Copper, Canada’s largest copper mine. Showcasing core from this location suggests the company is advancing exploration in a proven, world-class copper district. Successful exploration near existing major operations can significantly de-risk projects and attract partnership or investment interest due to established infrastructure and geological understanding.
For the industry and investors, progress in a major copper district like the Guichon Batholith is noteworthy given the global demand for copper, driven by electrification and renewable energy technologies. Junior mining companies like Nicola Mining play a vital role in discovering and defining new resources. Public presentations of drill core at events like AME Roundup serve as a progress report to the market and can influence perceptions of the project’s potential value.
