Project Overview
Location
The Dominion Creek Gold Project is located in central British Columbia, approximately 43 km northeast of Wells and 110 km east-southeast of Prince George, within the Cariboo Mining District along the mineralized Isaac Lake Fault system.
Information
The Dominion Creek Gold Project is a high-grade gold-silver exploration and development property located in Central BC within the Cariboo Mining District. Nicola Mining Inc. holds a 75% economic interest in the project through a 50% land ownership position and a 50% Mining and Milling Profit Share Agreement with its joint-venture partner, High Range Exploration Ltd.
The property consists of 8 contiguous mineral claims covering approximately 1,040 ha, situated along roughly 7.5 km of the highly prospective Isaac Lake Fault system, a regional structural corridor known for significant Au-Ag mineralization. The project is located approximately 43 km NE of the Town of Wells and 110 km ESE of Prince George.
Dominion Creek Gold Project hosts a high-grade epithermal Au-Ag vein system with multiple mineralized veins exposed at surface. Two primary mineralized areas, referred to as the North Zone and South Zone, include a historic bulk sample pit and several outcropping vein structures.
Exploration at its South Zone includes drilling originally completed by Noranda, which comprised 53 drill holes totaling 3,484 m over a 300 m by 200 m area of the South Zone. Notable intercepts included 6.55 m grading 24.74 g/t Au and 4.70 m grading 19.98 g/t Au.[1] More recent sampling by Nicola Mining in 2020 returned an average grade of 61.3 g/t Au and 173.7 g/t Ag from 23 samples collected at the #16 Vein and Pit Vein zones, with values up to 149.0 g/t Au and 270.0 g/t Ag.[2]
In March 2025, the project received a Final Permit from the BC Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals authorizing the extraction of a 10,000-tonne bulk sample of Au-Ag mineralization. Bulk sampling activities commenced in July 2025, with ore scheduled to be transported for processing at Nicola Mining’s wholly owned Merritt Mill.
