Nicola Mining Discovers Three New Veins at Dominion Project, Expands 2026 Bulk Sample Scope
Nicola Mining Inc. has completed its 2025 work program at the Dominion project, discovering three new veins that enhance the project's scale and potential for expanded gold-bearing zones while deferring initial mill shipments due to weather conditions.
Nicola Mining Inc. has announced the completion of its 2025 work program at the Dominion project, including all mine development for the upcoming 10,000-tonne bulk sample scheduled to recommence in July 2026. The company deferred initial shipments to its Nicola mill due to heavy rainfall and expanded project scope after discovering three new veins during the development phase.
The newly identified veins—Mid-West, West and 16 East—are located near historically known South Pit and 16 Veins. These zones were sampled and sent to Paragon Geochemical for analysis, with results currently pending. Company management noted that these findings enhance confidence in the project's scale and potential for expanded gold-bearing zones, suggesting broader mineralization than previously understood.
The discovery comes as the company prepares for its significant 10,000-tonne bulk sample operation planned for mid-2026. The expanded scope resulting from the new vein discoveries indicates potential for increased resource estimation and longer mine life at the Dominion property. The full details of the announcement can be reviewed in the official press release available at https://ibn.fm/lSyWk.
Additional information and ongoing updates regarding Nicola Mining are accessible through the company's dedicated newsroom at https://ibn.fm/HUSIF. The weather-related delays highlight the operational challenges facing mining operations in British Columbia's climate, while the expanded geological findings demonstrate the ongoing exploration potential within established mining districts.
The timing of these discoveries positions the company favorably as it approaches its 2026 bulk sampling campaign, with the new vein systems potentially adding significant value to the overall project economics. The pending assay results from Paragon Geochemical will provide critical data for resource modeling and future mine planning decisions at the Dominion site.
