The company also reported an initial Inferred resource at the Aurizon gold prospect on the property and an additional mineralized vein near Aurizon discovered using soil geochemistry. Nicola Mining Inc. has several parts to its New Craigmont project at the Craigmont mine site. In addition to operating a custom mill, the company is exploring for additional copper skarn mineralization and testing waste piles for potentially economic concentrations of copper. Nicola conducted induced polarization surveys and reverse circulation and diamond drilling. Among notable results is a 73.6-metre interval of 1.05 per cent copper in a 150-metre interval of 0.54 per cent copper approximately 100 metres north of the Craigmont pit. Cobalt, base and precious metal projects Blackstone Minerals Ltd. drilled at the Little Gem property and conducted induced polarization and soil geochemical surveys and regional exploration. The project targets gold- and cobalt-bearing quartz-carbonate veins. Significant drill intersections included: 1.1 metres of 3.0 per cent cobalt and 44 g/t gold in 4.3 metres with 1.0 per cent cobalt and 15 g/t gold; and 1.0 metres of 1.2 per cent cobalt and 5 g/t gold in 3.2 metres of 0.8 per cent cobalt and 4 g/t gold. The company also reports copper-gold-cobalt intersections and nickel and molybdenum values in surface samples. PUBLIC GEOSCIENCE 2017œ2018 Since its inception in 1895, the British Columbia Geological Survey (BCGS) has created new geoscience knowledge that informs government, the mineral industry and British Columbians about the geology and mineral wealth of the province. The BCGS undertakes targeted and long-term geoscience projects aimed at refining British Columbia's geological framework, increasing exploration e¢iciency and curating historical geoscience information to advance projects without duplicating previous work. The BCGS leverages its resources by partnering with federal, provincial and territorial governments, and with other national and international organizations. SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST REGION Nicola Mining Inc. is exploring near the past-producing Craigmont mine, including testing of historic waste dumps. The firm also operates a custom mill at the site. 1 2018-10-25 1:11 PM Resource.indd 1 2/10/10 9:51:39 AM Paraminerals.indd 1 2018-11-02 8:38 AM Reinforce Relationships Created at Roundup All Year Long CONTACT Alexander Sugden 604.473.0358 asugden@canadawide.com
