Nicola Mining Inc.: Nicola Mining Announces 2021 Exploration Objectives at New Craigmont Copper Project (TSXV: NIM) (the " Company" or " Nicola") is pleased to provide a 2021 exploration outline at its wholly-owned New Craigmont Copper Project, located near Merritt, BC, and 33 km south of the Highland Valley Copper porphyry district. In 2020, the Company filed for a multi-year area-based (" MYAB") exploration permit that would allow it to move forward on a five-year exploration plan. Additional to the MYAB application, the Company continues to actively integrate historic data into its geological models. The ongoing desktop work is expected to improve the quality and accuracy of the "target development" and "target confirmation" stages of its exploration pipeline approach.
