VANCOUVER, BC, July 9, 2025 – Nicola Mining Inc. (the “Company” or “Nicola”) (TSX: NIM) (OTCQB: HUSIF) (FSE: HLIA) is pleased to announce that it has commenced production of gold and silver concentrate at its wholly owned Merritt Mill, located approximately 15 kilometers from Merritt, British Columbia.

Following extensive upgrades—including automation, gravity separation, and water recirculation systems that underscore the Company’s commitment to the environmental stewardship—Nicola is positioned to become a leading milling hub for high-grade gold and silver in British Columbia. In addition to Talisker, Nicola has entered into a partnership with Blue Lagoon Resources (CSE: BLLG) (OTCQB: BLAGF) (FSE: 7BL) and is preparing to commence bulk sample production at Dominion Creek Gold Project, which Nicola holds a 75% economic interest.

On July 7, 2025, Talisker announced the shipment of approximately 3,100 tonnes of high-grade gold ore from the Mustang Project to Nicola’s Merritt Mill (also known as the Craigmont Mill) for processing.
Talisker is actively developing the 1060, 1075, 1105 and 1120 levels. In-vein development is underway on the BK vein at the 1075 level, and both on the BK and BK9870 veins at the 1105 Level.
Talisker also commenced long-hole drilling in preparation for the mining and extraction of the first stope, with extraction expected to begin later this week.
Mr. Peter Espig, CEO of Nicola Mining Inc., commented: “We are extremely pleased to have commenced long-term production with Talisker and recognize the significant achievements made to date. Securing mining permits, raising capital, and executing on a mine plan require dedicated commitment.
