ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF).

ESGold (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) (FSE: Z7D) was recently featured on the Exploring Mining podcast, where new CEO Gordon Robb discussed a strategy that sets the company apart. As ESGold enters a transformational phase, Robb's investor acumen and proven track record in scaling resource companies make him ideal to take the company to the next level, according to COO Paul Mastantuono.

"The last four years that I've been doing this, the consistent theme of raising money, drilling holes, hoping the market recognizes it for an increased market cap, to continue to do it again, has seemed very repetitive, so this new approach has been very exciting," Robb said during the podcast. He said that global instability resulting in higher prices for gold is creating a space where ESGold can thrive. "What investors are looking for is risk-off… We are fully permitted. We are very close to production — we have a mill onsite, we have tailings piles that are ready to be processed, and we just have a few more steps to get there to start producing, be cash-flow positive and then funnel that money into exploration…"

ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) is a fully permitted, pre-production resource company on a clear path to near-term gold and silver production. With established infrastructure in place and a significant gold-silver resource, the company is uniquely positioned to generate near-term cash flow while unlocking the full potential of its Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec—one of the top mining jurisdictions in the world.

ESGold is building a foundation for long-term growth through a dual-track strategy: cash-flow generation from tailings reprocessing to fund district-scale exploration.

The Montauban site, which operated as a mine for over 80 years, is now undergoing its first-ever systematic exploration program to determine just how large the remaining deposit may be. Near-term cash flow from tailings reprocessing will be used to fund exploration, with the goal of increasing the resource base and uncovering new discoveries across the expansive land package.

ESGold is advancing a scalable and replicable clean extraction model that turns legacy mine sites into revenue generating assets while setting a new industry benchmark for sustainable resource recovery.

The recent completion of a C$3.4M financing has enabled ESGold to initiate the final construction phase of its mill circuit—moving the company decisively toward production of gold and silver in Q3 2025.

Montauban Gold-Silver Project: Production Imminent

Located approximately 80 kilometers west of Quebec City, the Montauban Project is a past-producing gold-silver mine with surface and underground mineralization and over 900,000 tonnes of historical tailings. ESGold has invested over C$15 million to date, building out roads, power access, and a 16,000 sq. ft. processing facility. The company recently completed a C$3.4M financing to begin final construction of the mill circuit.

The company is fully permitted to enter into production that is expected to commence in Q3 2025 with a capacity of 500 tonnes per day, scaling to 1,000 tpd. An updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) is currently underway to reflect all-time high gold prices and the anticipated upside from the near-surface resource.

Parallels Between Broken Hill & Montauban

Broken Hill, discovered in 1883 in Australia, became the world’s largest source of silver, lead, and zinc—producing over $100 billion worth of metals. What made it unique was that the richest mineral zones were hidden deep underground in a twisted, boomerang-like shape, and it took decades to fully understand just how large the deposit really was.

Geologists now believe ESGold’s Montauban Project in Quebec may share similar traits. Like Broken Hill, it contains high-grade silver, lead, and zinc, along with gold—and sits within the same type of geological system known to host large, high-value mineral deposits. The rock formations, mineral assemblages, and structural complexity all suggest that Montauban could be hiding much more than what’s been historically uncovered. Academic studies now support this possible geological parallel, pointing to further evidence suggesting Montauban was formed under similar conditions as Broken Hill.

Exploration Upside

With production on the horizon, ESGold is advancing a major exploration campaign. Montauban has never undergone systematic modern exploration.

The company is currently completing a large-scale Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey—a powerful 3D imaging technology that will define the size, shape, and continuity of the mineralized system. ANT is already showing strong results, with imaging going beyond the original 400m depth target and now expected to exceed 800m. This cutting-edge technology has the potential to reveal the full extent of the anomaly for the first time in Montauban’s 110-year history.

Scalable, Replicable, Clean Mining

Montauban is also part of a broader vision. Across Canada and globally, there are hundreds of orphaned or legacy mine sites that remain unrehabilitated despite containing valuable residual metals in tailings. Quebec alone is home to more than 259 of these sites, highlighting the scale of the opportunity. ESGold is advancing a scalable and replicable clean extraction model that transforms legacy sites into productive assets while setting a new benchmark for sustainable resource recovery.

The company has also performed testing that utilizes Dundee Sustainable Technologies’ CLEVR Process™, a proprietary non-cyanide extraction method that achieved 90.9% gold recovery in lab testing. This clean processing approach remains a valuable and scalable asset supporting ESGold’s near-term production and exploration growth strategy.

As a complement to its core mining operations, ESGold is developing clean technology solutions through a joint venture with DMCMS Inc. This initiative includes a polymer division that manufactures environmentally friendly products such as road stabilizers, dust suppressants, and other industrial blends—expanding the company’s sustainable commercial footprint.

Market Opportunity

ESGold is operating in a unique and specialized segment of the mining industry—reprocessing and revitalizing legacy mine sites. The Montauban Project offers both near-term cash flow and long-term growth potential by converting tailings into revenue while systematically exploring for additional high-value mineral endowments. The company’s established infrastructure, full permitting, and reclamation approvals reduce development risk and enhance execution timelines.

The broader green mining market is projected to reach $15.92 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research. This growth is being driven by increased demand for responsible extraction methods, ESG-aligned practices, and critical mineral security. With construction underway at its fully permitted Montauban site—and exploration advancing along a Broken Hill-type geological model—ESGold is well positioned to emerge as Canada’s next premier gold and silver producer.

Strategic Metals Complex – Louisiana

Ucore has selected an 80,800-square-foot brownfield site within the England Airpark in Alexandria, Louisiana, as the location for its first commercial rare earth refining facility. The Louisiana SMC is expected to scale from 2,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) of total rare earth oxides initially to 5,000 TPA, with potential to ultimately reach 7,500 TPA.

The facility benefits from Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) status, reducing tariff burdens on imported inputs and enhancing logistics efficiency. In addition to these structural advantages, the state of Louisiana has outlined an incentive package valued at $15 million, including a $900,000 infrastructure grant and $360,000 in additional local support. The project is expected to create 100 family-wage jobs and has received strong support from federal and state officials.

To date, Ucore has secured $2.3 million in milestone payments under its $18.4 million OTA award from the U.S. Department of Defense. In early 2024, the company also secured C$2.16 million in private investment from Hondo Private Equity to support its commercialization efforts.

Bokan-Dotson Ridge REE Project – Alaska

Ucore maintains 100% ownership of the Bokan-Dotson Ridge heavy REE project in Southeast Alaska. A Preliminary Economic Assessment was completed in January 2013. The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) has authorized $145 million in bond financing under SB99 (2014) to support future development.

While Bokan remains a long-term asset, Ucore continues to advance it at a measured pace, complementing its near-term focus on commercial rare earth refining and oxide production at the Louisiana SMC.

Market Opportunity

According to Grand View Research, the global rare earth elements market was estimated at $3.95 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6% from 2025 to 2030. The market outlook remains strong, fueled by the growing demand for permanent magnets and catalysts in the automotive sector.

In March 2025, President Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to prioritize domestic critical mineral production, signaling a national mandate to reduce reliance on “hostile foreign powers’ mineral production.” One month later, the Chinese government enacted immediate export restrictions on seven key rare earth elements, including dysprosium and terbium, further intensifying pressure on Western nations to develop secure and independent supply chains. This underscores the strategic value of Ucore’s domestic separation infrastructure.

CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP).

CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP) , a biopharmaceutical company developing treatments for cancers in the brain and central nervous system, reported a Q2 2025 net loss of $2.4 million, slightly improved from $2.5 million in Q2 2024, driven by reduced Berubicin trial costs. R&D expenses rose to $1.2 million from $1.1 million on preparation for a TPI 287 trial, while G&A fell to $1.2 million from $1.4 million on lower legal, travel and stock-based compensation costs. The Company ended the quarter with $12.1 million in cash, sufficient to fund operations into the second half of 2026. CEO John Climaco said CNS is on track to begin a Phase 2 study of TPI 287 for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in the first half of 2026, following its Orphan Drug Designation for multiple CNS indications and promising Phase 1 results showing blood brain barrier penetration and tumor response.

CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP) is a clinical stage biotechnology company specializing in the development of novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system.

The company was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Houston, Texas.

Organ Targeted Therapeutics

The company’s lead drug candidate, Berubicin, is proposed for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”), an aggressive and incurable form of brain cancer. Berubicin also has potential to treat other central nervous system malignancies. Based on limited clinical data, Berubicin appears to be the first anthracycline to cross the blood brain barrier in the adult brain, and it was the subject of a successful Phase 1 study which found the MDT and produced efficacy data as well.

CNS holds a worldwide exclusive license to the Berubicin chemical compound. The company has acquired all requisite data and know-how from Reata Pharmaceuticals Inc. related to a completed Phase I clinical trial of Berubicin in malignant brain tumors. In this trial, 44% of patients experienced a statistically significant improvement in clinical benefit. In 2017, CNS entered into a collaboration and asset purchase agreement with Reata.

CNS intends to explore the potential of Berubicin to treat other diseases, including pancreatic and ovarian cancers and lymphoma. The company is also examining plans to develop combination therapies that include Berubicin.

CNS estimates that more than $25 million in private capital and grants were invested in Berubicin prior to the company’s $9.8 million IPO in November 2019.

CNS intends to submit an IND for Berubicin during the fourth quarter of 2020 and expects to commence a Phase II clinical trial of Berubicin for the treatment of GBM in the U.S. in Q1 2021. A sub-licensee partner was awarded a $6 million EU/Polish National Center for Research and Development grant to undertake a Phase II trial of Berubicin in adults and a first-ever Phase I trial in pediatric GBM patients in Poland in 2021.

The company’s second drug candidate, WP1244, is a novel DNA binding agent licensed from the MD Anderson Cancer Center. In preclinical studies, WP1244 proved to be 500-times more potent than the chemotherapeutic agent, daunorubicin, in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation. The company has entered into a sponsored research agreement with the MD Anderson Cancer Center to further the development of WP1244.

CNS Pharmaceuticals recently engaged U.S.-based Pharmaceutics International Inc. and Italian BSP Pharmaceuticals SpA for the production of the Berubicin drug product. The company has implemented a dual-track manufacturing strategy to mitigate COVID-19-related risks, diversify its supply chain and provide for localized availability of Berubicin. CNS has already completed synthesis of Berubicin’s active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and has shipped the API to both manufacturers in order to prepare an injectable form of Berubicin for clinical use.

Global Brain Tumor Therapeutics Market

The high recurrence rate of malignant brain tumors is due to reappearance of focal masses, indicating that a sub-population of tumor cells in these cancers may be insensitive to current therapies and may be responsible for reinitiating tumor growth. This necessitates the development of newer drugs in the market that demonstrate greater efficacy in treating such aggressive cancers.

A global increase in neurological disorders has placed increased attention on cancers of the brain over the past decade. Neurological disorders are becoming one of the most prevalent types of disorders, due to longer life expectancy, greater exposure to infection and an increasingly sedentary lifestyle. Because few treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain exist, costs are high and have acted as a restraint for the brain tumor therapeutics market.

Despite progress in surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapeutic strategies, effective treatments for brain cancer are limited by a lack of specific therapies for the brain and the difficulty in transporting therapeutic compounds across the blood brain barrier. Therefore, there is a significant need for novel and effective therapeutic drugs and strategies that prolong survival and improve quality of life for brain tumor patients.

Several companies are making significant investments into R&D, which is expected to bring more treatment options to the market in the near future. Industry reports consistently project continued growth in the market.

One report estimates that the global brain tumor therapeutics market will reach a valuation of $2.74 billion in 2023, with the market expected to register a CAGR of 11% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2023. Another report projects that the global brain tumor therapeutics market will reach $3.4 billion by 2025, up from $2.25 billion in 2019 (https://nnw.fm/eDUjp).

Soligenix Inc. (NASDAQ: SNGX)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Soligenix Inc. (NASDAQ: SNGX).

Ricin toxin is a potent biothreat, so lethal that even a dose the size of a grain of salt can be fatal within 48 to 72 hours.

RiVax(R) is a subunit protein vaccine that incorporates Soligenix's ThermoVax(R) technology, which eliminates the need for cold-chain storage.

Soligenix reports that the RiVax antigen has been shown to be safe in phase 1 studies in humans, with future steps including pivotal animal efficacy studies.

With global security threats driving demand for advanced biodefense solutions, Soligenix (NASDAQ: SNGX) is advancing RiVax(R), a heat-stable recombinant vaccine candidate aimed at protecting against deadly ricin toxin exposure. Supported by proprietary stabilization technology and robust preclinical data demonstrating long-lasting immunity, SNGX's RiVax represents both a critical public safety innovation and a significant market opportunity in the specialized vaccine sector.

For decades, the severity of psoriasis has been classified on the basis of thresholds reflecting the BSA, or body surface area, impacted by the condition. Under this classification, individuals with less than 3 percent of BSA were categorized as having mild psoriasis; those with a BSA ranging between 3 and 10 percent were regarded as having moderate psoriasis; while those with a BSA in excess of 10 percent were classified as having severe psoriasis. This way of classifying psoriasis influences the prescription of systemic therapies, particularly biologics indicated for psoriasis. Many insurance firms require that a patient has a BSA in excess of 10 percent in order to qualify for coverage of their treatment using biologics. However, a recent study is bringing into question the thinking that low BSA indicates that the disease burden is lower for the patient. There is also a need to update the way insurance firms determine who can be covered for systemic treatment as this has implications on how many patients will be able to afford the treatment they require. As the search to bring to market more efficacious treatments for psoriasis proceeds at companies like Soligenix Inc. (NASDAQ: SNGX), there is an urgent need to rethink how patients are assessed. The study in the discussion above shows how inadequate basing on BSA alone is. 

Soligenix Inc. (NASDAQ: SNGX) is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing treatments for rare diseases with high unmet medical needs. Operating through two key segments, the company’s Specialized BioTherapeutics division is dedicated to oncology and inflammation therapies, while its Public Health Solutions segment advances vaccines and therapeutics targeting biothreats and infectious diseases.

The company is actively advancing multiple late-stage clinical programs, including HyBryte™ (SGX301), a novel photodynamic therapy for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Additional candidates in development target psoriasis (SGX302), oral mucositis (SGX942), and Behçet’s disease (SGX945), while its public health efforts focus on heat-stable vaccines for ricin poisoning (RiVax®), Ebola (SuVax™), and Marburg (MarVax™) viruses, that have been supported by non-dilutive government grants and contracts of approximately $60 million to date.

With a diversified pipeline, multiple orphan and fast-track designations, and collaborations with government agencies, Soligenix is uniquely positioned for potential regulatory approvals and commercialization.

The company is headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey.

Pipeline and Development Programs

Specialized BioTherapeutics

Soligenix’s Specialized BioTherapeutics division develops treatments for oncology and inflammatory diseases, focusing on conditions with few or no effective therapeutic options. HyBryte™ (synthetic hypericin) has completed a Phase 3 study for CTCL, demonstrating statistically significant efficacy, and a second confirmatory Phase 3 trial is actively enrolling patients to support potential regulatory submissions worldwide. If approved, it would be the first non-mutagenic photodynamic therapy for early-stage CTCL, addressing an unmet medical need. It has received orphan drug designations in the U.S. and Europe, as well as Fast Track designation in the U.S.

SGX302, a photodynamic therapy based on the same active ingredient as HyBryte™, is in clinical development for mild-to-moderate psoriasis, with positive Phase 1/2 proof-of-concept results, it is actively enrolling patients in a Phase 2a clinical trial.

SGX942, designed to reduce inflammation and tissue damage in oral mucositis associated with cancer treatment, is progressing as a potential first-in-class therapy.
SGX945, targeting aphthous ulcers in Behçet’s disease, is actively enrolling in a Phase 2a clinical trial and has received fast-track designation, highlighting the urgency of developing effective treatments for this rare inflammatory condition.

Public Health Solutions

The company’s Public Health Solutions segment focuses on medical countermeasures for biothreats and emerging infectious diseases, leveraging non-dilutive government funding to advance its programs. RiVax®, a ricin toxin vaccine, has demonstrated strong preclinical and early clinical results and may be eligible for government procurement under the Strategic National Stockpile initiative.

The company’s RiVax®, as well as its vaccine candidates for Ebola and Marburg viruses are based on its proprietary ThermoVax® technology, which stabilizes vaccines for long-term storage without refrigeration. This approach could be transformative in regions where maintaining cold-chain logistics is challenging.

The ongoing development of these vaccines is supported by funding from NIH, BARDA, and DTRA, with the potential for up to three priority review vouchers (PRVs) upon regulatory approval, to be used for future programs or sold. Notably, PRVs have previously sold for roughly $100 million.

Market Opportunity

Soligenix targets markets with significant commercial potential, focusing on rare diseases and biodefense applications. HyBryte™ addresses CTCL, a disease affecting over 68,000 patients across the U.S. and Europe, with a total market opportunity exceeding $250 million. SGX302, the company’s therapy for mild-to-moderate psoriasis, serves a much larger population, as over eight million people in the U.S. are affected by the condition, representing a global market opportunity exceeding $1 billion.

SGX942, developed for oral mucositis in head and neck cancer patients, is aimed at a market worth more than $500 million, while SGX945 for Behçet’s disease serves a niche segment valued at over $200 million worldwide.

In addition to its rare disease programs, Soligenix’s Public Health Solutions division has the potential to generate significant revenue through government procurement contracts.

It implements cutting-edge marine battery packs that are IP67 certified and built to withstand the harshest marine environments. The system is glycol cooled with a controlled heat exchanger, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. A stainless-steel casing protects the battery from corrosion and physical damage over time.

The 180E is built to be integrated with many boat models produced by other marine manufacturers. Since boat manufacturers rarely build their own engines, instead choosing to source them from engine manufacturers, Vision Marine believes the 180E propulsion system can in the future end up powering nearly every recreational boat.

Market Opportunity

According to a report from Future Market Insights, a certified market research organization, the global electric boats market is expected to grow from a value of $5.6 billion in 2023 to $15.1 billion by 2033, achieving a CAGR of 10.4% during the forecast period.

New Pacific Metals Corp. (TSX: NUAG) (NYSE American: NEWP)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight New Pacific Metals Corp. (TSX: NUAG) (NYSE American: NEWP).

Bolivia, despite its rich mining history, remains one of the most underexplored silver jurisdictions due to a slow permitting process, but investors may benefit from dramatic upside if reforms advance.

New Pacific Metals holds two of the most promising undeveloped silver projects globally in the country: Silver Sand and Carangas.

Together, the two projects could position New Pacific among the top global primary silver producers, with potential combined output of nearly 19 million ounces annually when production begins.

Backing from mining companies Silvercorp and Pan American Silver signals confidence in long-term development.

As global demand for silver intensifies, largely fueled by industrial applications such as solar panels and electric vehicles, supply remains constrained. Few new primary silver projects are advancing, leaving producers searching for untapped potential. For New Pacific Metals (NYSE American: NEWP) (TSX: NUAG) , a Canadian exploration and development company, that opportunity lies in Bolivia, a country with deep silver reserves, but limited modern development.

New Pacific Metals Corp. (NYSE American: NEWP) (TSX: NUAG) is a Canadian exploration and development company focused on advancing world-class silver projects in Bolivia. The company’s primary asset, the Silver Sand project, has the potential to become one of the largest silver mines globally, supported by robust economic assessments. Additionally, the company is progressing its Carangas project, a silver-lead-zinc deposit with scale.

New Pacific Metals aims to create long-term value for its shareholders by advancing and de-risking its quality silver assets while contributing to the economic growth of Bolivia.

New Pacific Metals is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Projects

Silver Sand Project

The flagship Silver Sand project is a high-grade silver deposit with an expected mine life of 13 years. A preliminary feasibility study (PFS) completed in June 2024 estimates an annual production of 12 million ounces of silver, including 15 million ounces in the first three years of operation, with total projected production reaching 157 million ounces. The project has a post-tax net present value (NPV5%) of $740 million at a silver price of $24 per ounce and an internal rate of return (IRR) of 37%. With a low all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of $10.69 per ounce and a 1.9-year payback period, Silver Sand presents a rare and compelling silver opportunity.

Carangas Project

The Carangas project is an emerging silver-lead-zinc deposit with a 16-year mine life. A preliminary economic assessment (PEA) completed in September 2024 indicates an annual production of 6.6 million ounces of silver, with total production projected at 106 million ounces. The project boasts an after-tax NPV5% of $501 million, an IRR of 26%, and a payback period of 3.2 years at $24 per ounce silver. Its low AISC of $7.60 per ounce positions Carangas as a high-margin operation with significant upside potential. The PEA preserves Carangas’ significant gold (1+ million ounces) potential at depth.

Market Opportunity

The global silver market continues to see increasing demand driven by industrial applications, investment interest, and the growing use of silver in renewable energy technologies. Bolivia, ranked as the fourth-largest silver-producing country, presents significant untapped potential due to limited modern exploration.

The Silver Sand and Carangas projects represent two of the largest undeveloped open-pit silver projects in the world, with the potential to deliver substantial production volumes. As silver prices remain favorable and demand continues to rise, New Pacific Metals is positioned to play a crucial role in supplying the global silver market.

Nicola Mining Inc. (TSX.V: NIM) (OTCQB: HUSIF)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Nicola Mining Inc. (TSX.V: NIM) (OTCQB: HUSIF).

Nicola Mining (TSX.V: NIM) (OTCQB: HUSIF) recently took a significant step in fostering industry collaboration and bolstering regional gold development with its $2 million line of credit to strategic partner Blue Lagoon Resources Inc. "The move reflects Nicola's mission to support responsible mining initiatives in British Columbia and aligns with its vertically integrated approach that combines milling capabilities with financial facilitation," an article discussing this reads. "This move exemplifies Nicola's strategic model, which links its Merritt milling infrastructure and tailings facility to British Columbian projects. Merritt Mill stands as the only facility in British Columbia permitted to process third-party gold and silver mill feed from across the province. Since 2016, Nicola has entered into several profit-share agreements with mining companies, allowing its fully permitted mill to act as a critical partner, processing ore and providing liquidity for regional exploration partners. Extending a $2 million credit facility further advances this integrated approach by providing Blue Lagoon a flexible financial buffer as the company accelerates its growth."

To view the full article, visit https://ibn.fm/3JMop

Nicola Mining Inc. (TSX.V: NIM) (OTCQB: HUSIF) is a junior resource company focused on monetizing high-grade mineral assets in British Columbia. With a unique dual-pronged model, the company combines solid operational revenues from its wholly-owned, state-of-the-art gold and silver mill with the long-term upside of 100%-owned copper, silver, and gold exploration projects. This approach allows Nicola to fund ongoing development while minimizing equity dilution.

The company’s strategy centers on aligning infrastructure and permitting advantages with mineral-rich geology, positioning it to process its own, as well as third-party high-grade gold and silver mines via partnerships, to advance its own exploration targets. Key agreements with gold producers and concentrating sales contracts provide stable cash flow, making Nicola rare among juniors in its ability to internally support growth. Its solid balance sheet and business acumen have allowed it to take stakes in other near-term gold producers, including a 75% economic stake in Dominion Gold, which commences a bulk sample in 2H 2025.

Nicola is leveraging its platform of permitted infrastructure, strategic project locations, and deep technical expertise to build shareholder value in a low-risk, high-reward framework. The company is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Projects

Nicola Mining’s project portfolio includes high-grade copper, silver, and gold assets located in mineral-rich regions of British Columbia. Each project is 100%-owned or majority-controlled, with strong exploration potential and the necessary permits to advance development.

New Craigmont Copper Project

Nicola’s flagship asset, the New Craigmont Project, is a historic producer of over 900 million pounds of copper. Since acquiring 100% ownership in 2015, the company has drilled over 18,000 meters and identified significant skarn-hosted and porphyry-style mineralization. Recent drilling in 2024 confirmed 52.9 meters at 1.03% Cu (Hole NC-24-002), supporting the presence of a large-scale copper system. The project benefits from paved road access, connection to BC Hydro’s grid, and proximity to urban centers.

Treasure Mountain Silver Project

This 100%-owned past-producing mine has a Major Mines permit (M-239) and an NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate. The site includes multiple silver-lead-zinc veins and is permitted to extract up to 60,000 tonnes annually. Nicola is evaluating potential reactivation or joint venture options. Resource estimates include indicated resources of 52,000 tonnes grading 18.1 oz/t Ag, 3.26% Pb, and 3.4% Zn, and inferred resources of 161,000 tonnes grading 22.0 oz/t Ag, 2.48% Pb, and 3.86% Zn.

Dominion Creek Project (Au-Ag)

Nicola holds a 50% land ownership and 75% economic stake in this gold-silver project. Located 43 km from Wells, British Columbia, the site has returned grab samples averaging 61.3 g/t Au and 173.7 g/t Ag. The company has received its final permit and plans to extract a 10,000-tonne bulk sample in 2025, which will be processed at its Merritt Mill facility.

Operations

In addition to its exploration assets, Nicola Mining operates a suite of permitted industrial facilities in British Columbia that generate revenue and support the company’s broader development strategy. These assets form the backbone of Nicola’s self-sustaining business model.

Merritt Mill & Tailings Facility

Nicola owns and operates British Columbia’s only provincially permitted toll mill for gold and silver, a $30 million flotation facility located near Merritt. Gold production began in 2023. The facility is supported by long-term Milling and Profit Share Agreements with companies including Osisko Development Corporation, Blue Lagoon Resources, and Talisker Resources.

Sand & Gravel Pit / Rock Quarry / Ready-Mix Concrete Plant

Nicola also operates a permitted gravel pit (100,000 t/year), rock quarry (1,500 t/day), and is set to launch a ready-mix cement plant in Q2 2025. These operations, run in partnership with local First Nations, generate stable cash flow to support exploration efforts.

Market Opportunity

Nicola Mining is uniquely positioned in southern British Columbia, a jurisdiction recognized for its mining-friendly policies, skilled labor force, and robust infrastructure. The New Craigmont Project is geologically situated within the Guichon Creek Batholith, a region hosting some of Canada’s largest copper mines, including Highland Valley. Exploration data from 2023 and 2024 support the potential presence of both skarn and porphyry systems, increasing the strategic value of Nicola’s holdings.

The company’s other assets, including Treasure Mountain and Dominion Creek, are located in historically productive areas with high-grade mineralization and established access routes. Dominion Creek, in particular, sits atop the Isaac Lake Fault system—identified in British Columbia’s RGS (Regional Geochemical Survey) as a highly anomalous gold-silver corridor. Nicola’s integrated production model enables it to generate revenue while advancing these exploration programs without excessive dilution, providing a distinct advantage in a volatile commodities market.

Leadership Team

Peter Espig, Chief Executive Officer & Director, is a former diamond driller who spearheaded Nicola through a restructuring into its recent growth. He brings over $2 billion in private equity transaction experience, is a pioneer of SPACs, and has held senior positions at Goldman Sachs Japan and Olympus Capital.

Will Whitty, VP of Exploration, brings to the company over 15 years of experience in copper and gold exploration. He previously worked at Freeport-McMoRan and Nevada Gold Mines. He holds a master’s degree from the Mineral Deposit Research Unit (MDRU) at the University of British Columbia.

Bill Cawker, Corporate Development, manages investor relations, communications, and corporate governance. He joined Nicola in 2023 and brings extensive small-cap public markets experience, along with a degree in economics from the University of British Columbia.

Sam Wong, Chief Financial Officer, is a CPA with over 18 years of experience in the mining sector. He previously held executive roles at several publicly listed resource companies. He began his career at Deloitte LLP in Vancouver.

Nicola Mining Inc. (OTCQB: HUSIF), closed Friday's trading session at $0.58975, off by 1.8408%, on 6,600 volume. The average volume for the last 3 months is 71,490 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $0.1498/$0.642.
