## Minestarters Atlas summary

NexMetals Mining Corp. announced positive assay results from the final three holes of its 2025 metallurgical drill program at the Selkirk Mine in Botswana. The program confirmed wide, continuous zones of mineralization, including 231 metres at 1.09% CuEq in hole SMET-25-009, demonstrating significant scale, grade, and expansion potential. These results, which include mineralization both above and below the current Mineral Resource Estimate, will be incorporated into an updated MRE and support ongoing metallurgical test work.

Reasoning: The drill results confirm wide and continuous high-grade mineralization, demonstrating significant expansion potential for the Selkirk deposit. The results will be integrated into an updated MRE, indicating their material impact on the project's future. Robust QA/QC and QP sign-off provide high confidence in the data.

- Positive factor: Wide, continuous, high-grade mineralization confirmed

- Positive factor: Significant expansion potential demonstrated both at depth and near surface

- Positive factor: Results will be incorporated into an updated Mineral Resource Estimate \(MRE\)

- Positive factor: Detailed QA/QC procedures and QP sign-off enhance data credibility

- Positive factor: True width estimates provided for all intercepts

- Positive factor: Metal equivalent assumptions are disclosed

- Positive factor: Cut-off grade for potential mining is clearly stated

**Cut-off Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison.

Why it applies: The document explicitly states the cut-off grade used for potential mining as 0.46% CuEq, derived from a US$25.00 per tonne net smelter return.

Evidence · text

> Current cut-off of US$25.00 per tonne net smelter return defined in the 2024 MRE translates to 0.46% CuEq.

**NI 43-101 Compliant**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard.

Why it applies: The technical report supporting the MRE is stated to be prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, and the Qualified Person is identified.

Evidence · text

> The MRE on the Selkirk Mine is supported by the Technical Report entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report Selkirk Nickel Project, North East District, Republic of Botswana", dated January 8, 2025 \(with an effective date of November 1, 2024\).

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience.

Why it applies: Sharon Taylor, VP Exploration of the Company, MSc, P.Geo, is named as a 'qualified person' and has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information.

Evidence · text

> All scientific and technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Sharon Taylor, VP Exploration of the Company, MSc, P.Geo, and a "qualified person" for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 and Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K.

Reasoning: This sub-interval confirms a high-grade core within the broader mineralized zone, adding to the overall positive interpretation of the drill results.

- Positive factor: High-grade sub-interval \(1.28% CuEq\) within a broader mineralized zone

- Positive factor: Significant intercept length \(97m\) and true width \(66m\)

- Positive factor: Reinforces the overall high-grade nature of the main intercept

Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results.

Why it applies: proximity is offered as the value premise: "47.90 metres of 1.42% CuEq \(0.52% Cu, 0.49% Ni, 0.83 ppm Pd, 0.17 ppm Pt\) All mineralization from SMET-25-011 was interc"

## 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.
