RCTV at VRIC 2026 – Gold and Silver Production at the Merritt Mill

Nicola Mining CEO Peter Espig provided an update on the company's operations and strategic direction during an interview at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference (VRIC) 2026. The discussion centered on the ongoing ramp up of the Merritt Mill facility and the company's expanding production of copper, gold, and silver concentrate.

Espig highlighted the company's focus on operational execution and strategic partnerships as key drivers for growth. The mill's increasing output across multiple commodities positions Nicola Mining to capitalize on strong metal prices and growing demand for critical minerals. The CEO emphasized that enhanced production levels are translating into improved cashflow generation for the company.

A significant development mentioned was the pending uplist to the NASDAQ exchange, which Espig suggested could bring increased investor attention and market visibility to the company. This potential uplist represents a milestone for the Canadian mining operation and could provide access to a broader investor base and enhanced liquidity.

Looking ahead to 2026, Espig outlined execution and cashflow generation as the company's primary objectives. The continued ramp up of the Merritt Mill, combined with strategic partnerships and potential enhanced market presence through the NASDAQ listing, positions Nicola Mining for what appears to be a growth-focused year in British Columbia's mining sector.
