Vicente García will strengthen the team of Nicola Mining (TSX.V: NIM, FSE: HLI, WKN: A14T7S) as Senior Geologist in the future. In recent years, he has intensively focused on porphyry copper deposits, bringing expertise to the company that is very welcome at Nicola Mining as reinforcement, especially in the current situation, as the company simultaneously launches its aggressive 2025 exploration program.
Vicente García studied geology at the University of Concepción in Chile and has intensively focused on the exploration of copper porphyry deposits over the past seven years. He is also well-versed in epithermal gold-silver systems and lithium-rich brine systems.
Before joining Nicola Mining, Vicente García worked for several years at Kura Minerals, an exploration consulting company, as well as at Quiborax. Here, he focused on the exploration of ulexite in salar environments. Five years ago, he founded Mayal Exploration, a consulting company that offers geological services such as drill core re-logging, surface mapping, and 3D geological modeling for various mining clients in Chile.
In 2022, Vicente García moved to Dahrouge Geological Consulting, and later to Anglo American. These changes shifted the geographical focus of his work to the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario, as well as to Greenland and the U.S. state of Arizona.
Nicola Mining’s Stock Price Reaches a New 5-Year High
Vicente García’s entry into Nicola Mining comes at an interesting time, as not only is an extensive exploration program on the agenda this year. The company plans to announce more details about this ambitious program, which will primarily focus on the New Craigmont project, shortly.
The attention the company is now receiving in the media and on the stock market has also significantly increased. A consequence of the increased investor participation is the rising stock price. It is currently trading at a new five-year high. If this can be further expanded in the coming days, there is a chance of entering a new, longer-lasting rally phase.
Peter Espig, CEO of Nicola Mining, is pleased about the competent reinforcement of the geological team:
“Nicola continues to aggressively pursue both operations and exploration. Recently, the company has received a lot of media attention in connection with gold and silver production, but we firmly believe in the potential of copper exploration in our New Craigmont project. Additionally, Vicente and Will Whitty, our VP Exploration, will examine the implementation of exploration work on the back side of our fully permitted Treasure Mountain silver mine.”
