Nicola Mining (TSX.V: NIM) (OTCQB: HUSIF) continues to gain positive analyst attention as Noble Capital Markets reaffirmed the company’s “Outperform” rating in an updated research report, raised Nicola’s price target to $1.20 per share (https://nnw.fm/amgyE ). The report emphasizes Nicola’s balanced business model, combining strong exploration potential with active cash flow from its fully permitted Merritt Mill. Noble’s analysts view the company as well positioned to unlock value through its copper and silver projects in British Columbia while maintaining shareholder-friendly financial discipline.
According to the report, Nicola’s dual-track strategy — advancing exploration while generating operating income — remains a key differentiator among junior mining peers. The company’s flagship New Craigmont Copper Project sits in the prolific Quesnel Trough, adjacent to Teck Resources’ Highland Valley Copper Mine, Canada’s largest copper operation. Noble points to this location as offering both geological promise and strategic positioning within one of the country’s most mining-friendly jurisdictions. The report also highlights Nicola’s 100% ownership of the past-producing Treasure Mountain Silver Mine, which continues to attract attention for its high-grade potential and long-term development prospects.
Noble’s analysis devotes significant focus to the upcoming 2026 exploration program at Treasure Mountain, which follows years of methodical groundwork, including geophysical surveys, soil sampling and field reconnaissance. The project’s 2025 preparation work culminated in a multiyear, area-based exploration permit and a 10-year mine lease extension through 2032.
Drilling targets will test several steeply dipping, sulfide-rich veins northwest of the historic mine. Earlier sampling campaigns confirmed the presence of silver, copper, lead, zinc, and gold, reinforcing confidence in mineral continuity at depth. Noble notes that these results justify Nicola’s plan for a 4,000-to-5,000-meter diamond drill program to expand known mineralization zones and add to the project’s resource base.
In addition to exploration progress, Noble highlights ongoing cash generation from Nicola’s Merritt Mill, which processes third-party ore under long-term agreements. The mill continues to benefit from its partnership with Talisker Resources, which produced 1,569 ounces of gold in the quarter ended September 30 from its Mustang Mine. Nicola receives a share of gross profit from this milling activity, helping support corporate operations and exploration spending. A recent 10-year extension of its milling partnership with Blue Lagoon Resources further strengthens Nicola’s recurring revenue base. That agreement ensures a stable processing solution for Blue Lagoon’s Dome Mountain Gold Project near Smithers, British Columbia, securing a long-term supply of high-grade ore for the Merritt Mill.
The report also references a recent financial milestone: the conversion of convertible debentures held by Concept Capital Management into 22.9 million common shares. This move simplified Nicola’s balance sheet by removing debt, increasing total shares outstanding to approximately 206.8 million and designating Concept Capital as a 20.96% control block shareholder. Noble views this conversion as a positive signal of investor confidence and a key step in strengthening Nicola’s capital structure ahead of its next exploration phase.
Noble’s valuation for Nicola uses a sum-of-the-parts approach, attributing value to the New Craigmont Copper Project, the Merritt Mill and Tailings Facility, the sand and gravel operations, and the Treasure Mountain Silver Mine. The analysts cite higher metals prices, particularly for gold and silver, as a driver for the increased price target. At the time of the report, gold and silver had risen to $4,226 and $52.55 per ounce, respectively, leading to improved sector-wide peer valuations. By incorporating these pricing assumptions, Noble projects Nicola’s revenue to grow sharply from approximately $28 million in 2025 to more than $93 million in 2026, with earnings per share improving from $0.08 to $0.24.
Beyond valuation metrics, Noble assigns Nicola a 3.0 out of 5.0 fundamental rating, categorized as “Average” under its scoring system but emphasizing that the company’s governance and operating model compare favorably with other exploration-stage firms. The report praises Nicola’s shareholder-friendly structure, noting that its mix of cash-generating assets and exploration properties reduces reliance on equity dilution, an uncommon strength among junior miners. Furthermore, the analysts highlight British Columbia’s top-tier ranking (13th of 82 jurisdictions) for mining investment attractiveness in the Fraser Institute’s 2024 survey, underscoring the company’s strategic advantage in a politically stable environment.
Noble concludes that Nicola Mining’s disciplined management, diversified asset portfolio and strong operating partnerships give it a clear path to growth. The combination of near-term production cash flow and significant exploration upside supports the firm’s view that Nicola is “well on its way toward unlocking the value of its properties.” With key exploration programs planned, increasing gold and silver prices, and steady mill revenues, Noble expects Nicola’s progress to translate into continued share price appreciation.
