Kilometer Mineralized Corridor on Treasure
Mountain Silver Property
Announces Completion of Phase One of the 2020 Soils
Sampling and Announces Non-Brokered Private Placement
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 24, 2020) - Nicola Mining Inc. (
TSXV: NIM
)
(
FSE: HLI
), (the "Company" or "Nicola") is pleased to announce that it has completed the first phase of
the soil sampling program (the "2020 Program") at its wholly owned Treasure Mountain Property, a fully-
permitted high grade silver mine located approximately 90 minutes to its Craigmont Mill. This first phase
included 304 of the planned 530 B-horizon soil samples collected over the MB zone and to the southwest
(Figure 1). During the soil sampling program, five outcrops were identified hosting mineralized vein
material which were sampled via surface grab samples and shallow drilling, via portable drill. The
locations indicate a potential strike length of mineralization of approximately 1.2km, that had previously
not been tested by the Company. The soil samples are currently undergoing analysis at MSA Labs in
Langley, British Columbia. All rock and drill samples have been submitted for analysis at ActLab, in
Kamloops, British Columbia. Both labs are independent commercial laboratories that are ISO 9001
certified and ISO 17025 accredited.

The 2020 Program objective is to complete the 2019 soil program which was cut short due to inclement
weather
[1]
. Complimentary to the soils program, the Company has revisited reported locations of silver-
bearing veins on the property identified in historic literature of the area. A total of five outcrops of
sphalerite-galena-chalcopyrite bearing veins (Figure 2 and 3) form a potential mineralized corridor of
approximately 1.2 km strike length (Figure 2) was identified. These sites include the Cal Vein, which was
sampled as part of the 2019 soils program

The second phase of the 2020 Program aims to complete the planned soil sampling program.These
results are very encouraging as they identify the potential for other mineralized structures, outside of the
Treasure Mountain underground mine workings, that were previously underexplored by preceding
operators on the property.
