## Minestarters Atlas summary

Southern Empire Resources Corp. has entered an agreement to acquire up to a 100% interest in the Suaqui Verde Copper Project in Sonora, México. The project contains historical, non-compliant open pit copper resource estimates from 2008 that the company intends to verify through future drilling and analysis.

Reasoning: The company has entered an agreement to acquire a copper project with significant historical resource potential, though the data is non-compliant and historical.

- Positive factor: Acquisition of a 100% beneficial interest in a copper project

- Positive factor: Project located in a world-class porphyry copper province

- Positive factor: Potential for low-cost open pit and heap leach mining

- Negative factor: Resource estimate is historical, unpublished, and non-compliant with current CIM standards

- Negative factor: No NI 43-101 technical report filed for the historical resource

- Negative factor: Historical resource is not being treated as a current mineral resource
