Nicola Mining Commences Receipt Of Blue Lagoon Gold And Silver Millfeed
VANCOUVER, BC, December 1, 2025 – Nicola Mining Inc. (the “Company” or “Nicola”) (TSX: NIM) (OTCQB: HUSIF) (FSE: HLIA) is pleased to announce that Blue Lagoon Resources (CSE: BLLG) (“Blue Lagoon”) has commenced transporting high-grade gold and silver millfeed to Nicola’s mill, located near Merritt, British Columbia. The Company had previously announced[1] that the two parties had entered into a long term partnership[2] and that Nicola, which is also a major Blue Lagoon shareholder, had committed to providing a non-dilutive $2.0 million line of credit to augment the latter’s balance sheet.
Nicola will provide further updates for its 2026 plans in a soon-to-be released Annual Letter to Shareholders, which will include operational insights into milling expansion, Treasure Mountain, Dominion Creek Gold Project and the New Craigmont Project.
Mr. Peter Espig, CEO of Nicola Mining Inc., commented: “We are extremely pleased to see Blue Lagoon achieve this significant milestone as it morphs Dome Mountain Gold Mine from a project to a producing mine. The two also embrace a shared commitment to sustainability and environmental commitment, as highlighted by Blue Lagoon being the recipient of PDAC’s 2026 Sustainability Award[3]. Nicola’s ability to process materials from multiple sites throughout the Province of British Columbia, including its Treasure Mountain Silver Mine and Dominion Creek Gold Project, highlights our position as a project facilitator of gold and silver projects throughout the province.”
