## Minestarters Atlas summary

Surge Copper has filed a NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Berg Copper Project in British Columbia, supporting its Pre-Feasibility Study \(PFS\). The PFS highlights a 1.2 billion tonne reserve base grading 0.22% Cu, with an after-tax NPV of C$4.6 billion and an IRR of 24%.

Reasoning: The document files a formal NI 43-101 Technical Report supporting a previously announced Pre-Feasibility Study \(PFS\) for the Berg Copper Project, confirming strong economics and a large reserve base.

- Positive factor: Strong base-case economics \(NPV 8% of C$4.6 billion\)

- Positive factor: Large-scale reserve base \(1.2 billion tonnes\)

- Positive factor: Long operating life \(28 years\)

- Positive factor: High IRR \(24%\)

- Negative factor: High initial capital requirement \(C$4.7 billion\)

- Negative factor: Results are a restatement of June 15, 2026 announcement

Facts used in scoring: 4

## Classification and evidence

## 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.
