## Minestarters Atlas summary

Selkirk Copper announced high-grade drill results from its Phase 2 program at the Minto Project, highlighted by a 44.7m intercept at Minto North grading 2.12% Cu, 1.16 g/t Au, and 10.7 g/t Ag. The results also include successful step-out drilling at Area 118 and infill results at Copper Keel and Minto Main.

Reasoning: Strong high-grade intercepts across multiple zones \(Minto North, Copper Keel, Area 118\) supporting resource expansion and infill objectives.

- Positive factor: High-grade copper-gold-silver intercepts

- Positive factor: Significant width in Minto North \(44.7m\)

- Positive factor: Step-out drilling at Area 118 successful

- Positive factor: Infill drilling confirming continuity at Copper Keel

- Negative factor: Internal waste noted in 26SCM237

Facts used in scoring: 10

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Hole 26SCM236 was a 50-metre step-out beyond previous drilling limits.

Evidence · text

> Resource expansion drilling at Area 118 intersects high-grade mineralization in a 50-metre step-out

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: Release details QA/QC procedures including certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates, and names ALS as the lab.

Evidence · text

> QAQC procedures include the insertion of certified reference material, coarse blank materials, and field duplicate analysis

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
