PROJECT SNAPSHOT
In May 2022, Lower Nicola Site Services (LNSS), a partnership between Infracon and the Lower Nicola Indian Band Corp., initiated production at the Nicola Mines Quarry & Gravel Pit. This quarry provides riprap, aggregates, concrete rock, and sand to local companies, supporting various local projects such as the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) initiatives.
Nicola Mining has obtained a rock quarry permit and begun supplying materials to the Ministry of Transport for highway infrastructure repairs.
NICOLA MINES / CRAIGMONT QUARRY PROJECT OPERATORS
Collaborating with LNSS on our rock quarry project offers more than just a new source of revenue; it underscores our commitment to community relations and enables local benefits from our initiatives. The material from our quarry contributed significantly to the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure (MOTI) in repairing the Trans-Canada Highway, Highways 99, 7, 3, 5, and 8, all affected by the November 2021 flooding events under the Interior Region Flood Repairs initiative.
