The massive revenue ramp from custom milling is a genuine operational milestone, but the widening net loss, going-concern risk, and heavy reliance on a single related-party customer temper the bullish case. The April 2026 US$6.9M ADS offering provides near-term liquidity but adds significant dilution (12.8M new common shares). Watch for Q2 2026 milling revenue sustainability and drill results from the New Craigmont program that began in late April.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Nicola Mining reported Q1 2026 results showing a dramatic ramp in milling revenue to C$1.50M from C$6K a year ago, driven by custom milling at the Merritt Mill. The company raised C$4.96M in a private placement and subsequently closed a US$6.9M ADS offering in April 2026, significantly improving its liquidity position. However, the net loss widened to C$1.02M from C$0.48M due to higher share-based compensation and Nasdaq listing costs, and the company continues to carry a substantial accumulated deficit of C$115.5M with a going-concern qualification.

Financial Impact
Milling revenue grew from C$6K to C$1.5M YoY; net loss increased from C$0.48M to C$1.02M; working capital improved from C$3.1M to C$7.2M
Risk Factors

- C$13.9M asset retirement obligation exceeds working capital
