• Nicola Mining completed an 840-meter inaugural drill hole at the Jotun target at its New Craigmont Copper Project near Merritt, British Columbia.
• The hole confirmed porphyry-style alteration over broad intervals, supporting a new porphyry copper target on the property.
• Drilling cut faulted, fractured zones with visible native copper; mineralization was mainly bornite-rich veins with subordinate chalcopyrite.
• A property-wide Mobile MT survey totaled 1,436 line-km on 100-meter spacing, sharpening subsurface targeting for future drilling.
• An MMI soil program at the Draken target covered about 8.75 sq km with about 1,000 samples to refine targets for 2027 drilling.
