Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 10, 2025) - Nicola Mining Inc.
(TSXV: NIM)
(FSE: HLIA) (OTCQB: HUSIF)
(the "
Company
" or "
Nicola
") is pleased to announce that it received
final assays from the Dominion Gold Project ("
Dominion Gold
").
The Company provided an update on
its 2025 work on
November 4, 2025
.
Chip samples were taken from all five veins, three of which are
newly discovered, to measure exposed vein grades prior to commencing extraction, Figure 1.
A sampling program targeting the exposures of the new veins discovered during development work for
the bulk sampling of the pit and 16 veins to determine if the new veins carried high enough gold values to
warrant including them in the bulk sample. A total of nine samples, including one sample of waste rock
that is not included, were collected by the mine manager, Alan Raven, and his co-manager, Randy
Mervyn, on October 6th and 7
th
.
Samples from the pit vein are similar to the historic high-grade samples. Pit Vein sample spans across
the 2.7 metres of the exposed vein with a 1x1 metre panel sample of the vein taken within the pit. The 5-
metre exposure was not sampled this trip as it was underwater. The results are representative of the
high-grade mineralization in the veins and not of the total volume of material being extracted for the bulk
sample.

Key Takeaways include the following:
All veins remain open in all directions.
The West Vein, Mid West Vein and 16 East Vein were all previously unknown.
Previously unknown 16 East Vein has been followed for 40 metres at surface but remains open in
all directions.
Pit Vein sample spans across the five metres of the exposed vein.
Under terms of the agreement, Nicola holds a 75% economic interest, after which it owns 100% of
the Dominion Gold.
The samples were collected from a typical area of each new exposure to help determine the average
grade of the veins sampled. Sampling was done using a hammer and rock chisel, samples were placed
in a poly bag, labeled on the outside with a sample number with a corresponding number written on
survey flagging and placed inside the sample bag, and secured with a zip tie. Samples averaged 2 to
3.5 kilograms each. The samples were then transported by the mine manager, Alan Raven, to his
residence, stored in locked facilities until they were transported and delivered on October 30 to Paragon
Geochemical laboratory in Surrey BC, an independent ISO 17025:2017 accredited geochemical testing
laboratory. Samples were crushed and pulverized (lab code PREP) then analyzed for gold using 2-cycle
PhotonAssay
TM
(lab code (PA-AU02 Au).
The analytical results that the present exposures of the West
vein and the Mid-west vein indicate that they are not of a high enough grade to be included in the bulk
sample.

Mr. Peter Espig, CEO of Nicola Mining Inc., commented, "We had expected the grades to be high and
assay results clearly confirm what we had hoped for. However, the scale and new vein discoveries were,
unanticipated exciting revelations of Dominion's long-term potential.
During 2026 we will focus on both
bulk sample extraction and better understanding of project scale."
Nicola also announces that it has provided Talisker Resources Inc., 60 days' notice after which it the
Company will no longer accept ore for processing at its Merritt facility.

DOMINION CREEK PROPERTY HISTORY
The Dominion Creek Property consists of 9 mineral claims (55 units) totaling approximately 1,058
hectares. The property was acquired from the prospector N. Kencayd by Noranda Exploration Company
Ltd. in 1986. Noranda subsequently conducted geological, geochemical, and geophysical surveys which
culminated in an increase in their land position. Between 1987 and 1990, Noranda's exploration
program included a small (20 samples) geochemical silt sample survey. Encouraged by those results, a
larger soil geochemical survey (3,399 samples) was conducted. Noranda drilled a total of 53 shallow
diamond drill holes, totaling 3,483.86 meters (average depth of approximately 65.7 meters). Trenching
of several coincident Pb, Zn, Cu, Ag and Au soil geochemistry anomalies resulted in the discovery of
several mineralized quartz veins.
