Nicola Mining Inc. (TSX.V: NIM) (FSE: HLIA) (OTCQB: HUSIF) has commenced its 2025 diamond drilling campaign at the New Craigmont Copper Project near Merritt, British Columbia. The program aims to drill 4,000–5,000 meters across five priority zones, including two new targets identified through a partnership with ALS Geoanalytics (GoldSpot Discoveries Ltd.), leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance exploration efforts. The focus is on delineating porphyry-style copper mineralization and advancing exploration around key areas such as MARB, CAS, West Craigmont/WP, and the newly identified Draken prospect.
The $1.5–2 million program, expected to continue through September, incorporates advanced data collection techniques like pXRF and SWIR to refine geological models and support future exploration strategies. This initiative underscores the growing role of AI in mining exploration, potentially setting a precedent for how technology can optimize resource discovery and development.
