The announcement also highlights a recent Preliminary Economic Assessment \(PEA\) showing a 13-year mine life and a C$494 million NPV at a $5.00/lb copper price. Reasoning: The release reports high-grade drill intercepts that support continuity and provides strong economic context via a recent PEA. - Positive factor: High-grade intercepts reported at Minto North, Copper Keel, and Area 118 - Positive factor: Strong PEA economics with NPV of C$494M at $5/lb Cu - Positive factor: Significant drilling progress \(54,711m completed\) - Positive factor: Long mine life of 13 years outlined in PEA Facts used in scoring: 1 ## Classification and evidence **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: The release states technical aspects were reviewed and approved by a Qualified Person \(Leif Bailey, P.Geo\). Evidence · text > Technical aspects of this release have been reviewed, verified and approved by Leif Bailey, P.Geo., Director of Geoscience & Exploration of Selkirk Copper Mines Inc., who is a qualified person **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The program is described as a focused infill drill program to support resource modeling. Evidence · text > combined with a focused infill drill program, are giving Selkirk the data needed to advance Feasibility Study ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 1.

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.
