Title: Selkirk Copper Phase 2 Drill Program Returns High-Grade Intercepts At Minto North, Copper Keel, and Area 118

Canada, 22nd Oct 2026 – Global Stocks News - Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of Selkirk Copper Mines. On October 15, 2026, Selkirk Copper Mines (TSXV: SCMI) (FRA: IO20) (OTCQX: SKRKF) announced additional results from the Phase 2 drill program at the Minto Project in Yukon, Canada. Sixteen months ago, Selkirk First Nation (SFN) purchased the former Minto Mine out of bankruptcy, then partnered with the Frank Giustra-backed Fiore Group to form Selkirk Copper Mines.A September 2026 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) outlines a 13-year mine life at 4,100 tonnes per day (tpd), starting with underground mining, then adding two open pits later in the mine life.The structural model and refined targeting methodology, combined with a focused infill drill program, are giving Selkirk the data needed to advance Feasibility Study work in the next phase of restart development at the Minto Project. "These results, notably the high grade and thick intercepts at Minto North, Copper Keel, and Area 118, underpin our confidence in the continuity and grade within the zones of mineralization that will improve the quality of our updated mineral resource modeling,” stated Colin Joudrie, Selkirk President & CEO, in the October 15, 2026 press release.“This increases the potential in our integrated mine planning efforts to deliver higher grade material to the mill, resulting in higher metal contained in concentrate. I look forward to continued positive results from the Phase 2 campaign over the next 8-10 weeks and another updated mineral resource estimate (MRE) in Q1 2027." Above: Plan view of the Minto Mine Property showing surface projections of mineralized zones as well as Phase 1 and Phase 2 drill collars.
