Nicola Mining Expands Gravel Pit Operations and Completes Cement Ready Mix Plant
Nicola Mining Inc. has secured significant permits to expand its gravel pit operations and completed construction of a cement ready mix plant, positioning the company for increased production capacity and diversified revenue streams in the mining sector.
Nicola Mining Inc. together with partner Lower Nicola Site Services Ltd. has announced the long-term expansion of its wholly owned gravel pit and completion of construction of its cement ready mix plant. The company secured two significant permits that will substantially increase its operational capacity and extend mine life.
The Notice of Departure at the New Craigmont Project allows extraction of up to 3.0 million tonnes of inert rock material at approximately 1,500 tonnes per day. This represents a substantial increase in production capacity for the company's operations. Additionally, the company received an extension of its gravel pit mine life alongside a provincial highway permit on September 5, 2025.
The completion of the cement ready mix plant represents a strategic diversification for Nicola Mining, allowing the company to process materials on-site rather than shipping raw materials elsewhere for processing. This vertical integration could potentially improve profit margins and create new revenue streams beyond traditional mining operations.

The company's ability to secure these permits demonstrates regulatory confidence in its operational plans and environmental compliance.
The partnership with Lower Nicola Site Services Ltd. highlights the collaborative approach Nicola Mining is taking to expand its operations. This strategic alliance combines mining expertise with local operational knowledge, potentially creating synergies that could enhance operational efficiency and community relations. The expanded gravel pit operations and new cement plant represent significant capital investments that reflect management's confidence in the long-term viability of these business segments.
