We caught up with Peter Espig, CEO of Nicola Mining (TSXV: NIM | FSE: HLIA | OTCQB: HUSIF) to understand how dual permits (10-year mining lease extension plus 5-year exploration permit) positions Nicola in an “envious position” to systematically explore high-grade surface samples showing up to 9,221 g/t silver, while the company simultaneously ramps up gold and silver production at their Craigmont operations with multiple projects coming online throughout 2025.
In this episode, Peter Espig, CEO and President of Nicola Mining, elaborates on the company’s dynamic ventures. Currently transitioning a gold asset into production, Nicola Mining is set to begin operations with their partner Talisker.
