Enters Into a Third Mining And Milling Profit Share Agreement(via Thenewswire.ca)\n \n \nVANCOUVER, B.C., / TheNewswire / November 2, 2015 - Nicola Mining Inc. (the \"Company\" or \"Nicola\") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a third Mining and Milling Profit Share Agreement (the \"Siwash Agreement\") with Siwash Minerals Inc. (\"Siwash\" or the \"Miner\"). \n\n\n \nUnder the Siwash Agreement the Miner plans to ship mill feed that that is already stockpiled, or will be extracted as part of its work permit, which was granted on October 27, 2015. The Miner's property is located in the Siwash Creek Area, located approximately 8 km northeast of Yale, B.C. and approximately 90 minutes from Nicola Mining Inc.'s processing facility located near Merritt, B.C.\n\n\n \nA Geological Assessment Report, on the property was prepared by J.T. Shearer (M.Sc., P. Geo) and submitted to the Gold Commissioner's office on November 24, 1997. Siwash will focus its efforts and extraction on the Monument Gold Zone, which was discovered in 1976. Preliminary metallurgical testing was completed by Process Research Associates Ltd. in 1996. Gravity concentration of a sample ground 76.9% minus 100 mesh recovered 82.9% of the gold in a product grading 98.3 g/ ton Au. Single stage flotation of the gravity concentration tails recovered an additional 9.5% of the gold giving an overall preliminary recovery of 92.4%. \n\n\n \nUnder the Siwash Agreement, the Miner is required to use its best efforts to transport greater than 7.08738 g/t Au to the Company's processing facility. Currently, Siwash has a stockpile of approximately 3,000 tonnes on site and hopes to increase the stockpile by an additional approximate 3,000 tonnes over the next 5 months, at which time it expects to commence shipping mill feed to Nicola. Nicola intends to process the mill feed into concentrate for further shipping to a smelter or third party for sale, subject to agreements for the sale of the concentrate being entered into with smelters or third parties. \n\n\n \nUnder the Agreement, Siwash will be responsible for all costs associated with extraction and transportation to Nicola's processing facility while Nicola will be responsible for all costs associated with milling operations. Upon repayment of costs, according to terms of the Agreement, the parties will...
