Nicola Mining Inc. (NASDAQ: NICM) (TSXV: NIM) (FSE: HLIA) has entered into a Mining and Milling Profit Share Agreement with privately held Red Eye Resources Ltd., allowing qualifying mineralized material to be transported to Nicola's Merritt Mill near Merritt, British Columbia, for processing. The agreement focuses exclusively on precious-metal opportunities, with profits shared equally between the two companies.
This partnership underscores Nicola Mining's strategy of utilizing its Merritt Mill as a centralized processing platform for high-grade precious-metal projects across the province. The mill is the only facility in British Columbia permitted to accept third-party gold and silver mill feed from throughout the province, giving project owners access to established processing infrastructure without the capital requirements and permitting timelines associated with building standalone facilities.
The collaboration combines Red Eye Resources' project-generation and mining expertise with Nicola's permitted milling infrastructure and existing projects. By leveraging these complementary strengths, the agreement is expected to accelerate the development of precious-metal projects in the region.
