[{"type":"text","content":"¬Nicola Mining Commences Drilling Exploration and Lidar Survey(via Thenewswire.ca)\n \n \n\n\n \n \nVANCOUVER, B.C. / TheNewswire / June 29, 2016 - Nicola Mining Inc. (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has commenced a drilling program on its 10,084 hectare Thule Copper Property (the \"Property\") located at the southern end of the Guichon Batholith approximately 14 km northwest of Merritt. \n\n \n \nThe drill program will consist of approximately 1,500 metres of drilling and will focus on three key targets zones: the Eric, Embayment and Titan Queen Zones. The purpose is to expand copper mineralization from previously known historic drilling and 2016 surface sampling. In addition to the three key target zones the Company hopes to prepare future drilling options on the Marb Zone, pending additional surface sampling.\n\n \n \nPrevious highlights in the 3 zones consist of the following:\n\n \n \n-Embayment Zone: \n\n\n \n-S-100 - 150 metres of 0.47% copper\n\n\n \n-Titan Queen Zone:\n\n\n \n- S-80 - 4.57 metres of 0.40% copper \n\n\n \n-S-81 - 11.59 metres of 0.40% copper\n\n\n \n-S-83 - 3.05 metres of 0.86% copper\n\n\n \n-2016 sampling Trench 1 - 0.30% copper over 16 metres \n\n\n \n-Trench 2 - 0.56% copper over 10 metres \n\n\n \n-Trench 3 - 0.60% copper over 6 metres\n\n\n \n-Eric Zone: \n\n\n \n-S-86 - 3.05 metres of 0.92% copper\n\n\n \n-S-90 - 54.25 metres of 0.23% copper\n\n\n \n-2016 sampling of the Eric Shaft - 0.52% copper over 9 metres (perimeter).\n\n \n \nDrilling conducted in 2005 by Christopher James Gold Corp in the Embayment Zone failed to penetrate through the Kingsvale/Spences Bridge unit into the permeable Nicola Group volcanics. The Titan Queen and Eric Zones were last drill tested in the 1970's by Craigmont Mines.\n\n \n \nLIDAR Survey\n\n\n \nThe Company hired McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd. to complete a Light Detection and Ranging Survey (\"LIDAR Survey\") over the entire wholly-owned Thule Property. The purpose of the LIDAR survey is to reveal the network of faults responsible for mineralization on the Property. The LIDAR survey consists of a fixed-wing aircraft that flies flight lines over the Property in order to generate a detailed topographic contour map and selective orthophoto, which is geometrically corrected such that the scale is uniform: the photo has the same lack of...
