The Nicola Herald highlights rapid coal development in the Nicola Valley with multiple properties shipping coal and sinking shafts. It notes broad mineral wealth, copper deposits viewed as temporary hurdles, and calls out industry rivals using belittlement to hinder credible prospects.
The text argues that solid development is essential to prove a mine’s viability. It notes current showings hint at future wealth, yet only through active development will results be certain. It cites Middlesboro, Aspen Grove, and Ten Mile camps as examples of how delay costs profit.
