About the New Craigmont Property
In November of 2015, Nicola became the first group in decades to consolidate ownership of the New
Craigmont Project (the "Property") and has been actively conducting mineral exploration since. The
Property is a wholly owned copper property with an active mine permit (M-68), located 33 km south of
the world-class Highland Valley porphyry district. The property is located adjacent to the southern end of
the Guichon Creek Batholith, which hosts the Highland Valley copper deposits.
There are currently no mineral resource estimates on the Property. Historical "non-NI 43-101" resource
calculations are recorded in internal memos and geological reports for Placer Development Ltd.
