CEO Clip - Selkirk Copper: Can the Minto Mine Restart Become Yukon’s Next Copper Producer?
Selkirk Copper is advancing the restart of Yukon’s Minto copper-gold-silver mine, supported by a Preliminary Economic Assessment outlining a 13-year mine life, strong project economics and significant production potential. As global copper demand accelerates through AI data centers, electrification and power infrastructure, Selkirk Copper is working to bring the Minto copper-gold-silver mine in Yukon back into production. The company's recently completed >100,000m of drilling and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) outlines a 13-year mine life, the longest projected operating life in the mine's history. The PEA estimates a net present value (NPV) of approximately C$500 million, using assumptions of US$5 per pound copper, US$3,600 per ounce gold and US$50 per ounce silver. Under these assumptions, the project delivers an estimated 48% return on investment, with management highlighting its potential for rapid capital payback. With an well-established road, camp, transmission lines, mill and mining infrastructure, an expanded mineral resource, encouraging preliminary economics and growing demand for critical metals, Selkirk Copper is focused on restarting Minto and positioning itself as Yukon's next producing base metals company.

Selkirk Copper: On the Verge of Becoming a Yukon Success Story
Resource refinement, updated mine plans, and permit refresh underway Is Selkirk Copper planning to restart production? Selkirk Copper Mines is advancing a restart plan for a former producing copper-gold-silver mine in the Yukon, targeting a potential return to production by mid-2028 with updated engineering and refreshed permits. Mining restarts are rarely simple. They require updated technical work, refreshed permits, and a revised operating strategy. Selkirk Copper Mines is positioning itself as a restart story. The company controls a former producing copper, gold, and silver operation that ran for approximately 16 years. Rather than simply resuming prior plans, management is focused on redefining the resource, updating mine design and engineering, and ensuring permitting aligns with along-term development vision. The objective is to outline a 12-15 year mine life, longest in the asset’s history, while targeting a return to production by mid-2028. A key element of the strategy is partnership. The projectwas acquired out of bankruptcy by the Selkirk First Nation, marking what management describes as a unique structure within Canada’s public mining sector. Selkirk Copper’s leadership emphasizes pragmatic execution, resource refinement, and modern mine planning as the foundation for a sustainable restart. For investors, restart stories often hinge on permitting clarity, engineering accuracy, and disciplined capital deployment.
