[{"type":"text","content":"[Video Enhanced] Selkirk Copper Advances Copper Gold Silver Mine Restart in the Yukon\n(TheNewswire)\n\n\nVancouver, BC – TheNewswire\n- May 14, 2026 – Global Stocks News -\nSponsored content disseminated on behalf of Selkirk Copper Mines. On\nMay 11, 2026 Selkirk Copper Mines (TSXV: SCMI) (FSE: IO20) (OTCQB:\nSKRKF) announced the discovery of a new mineralized\nzone, the 117\nLens, beneath a previously mined open\npit.\n\n\nIn June 2025, Selkirk First Nation (SFN) purchased the\nformer Minto Mine out of bankruptcy, then partnered with the Frank\nGiustra-backed Fiore Group to form Selkirk Copper Mines.\n\n\nSCMI is derisking the Minto Mine through exploration,\nresource expansion, engineering, and mine planning, with the goal of\nestablishing a 12-15-year mine life prior to production\nrestart.\n\n\nThe initial May 11, 2026 results from the 117 Lens\nindicate broad zones of copper-gold-silver mineralization, including\n1.27% Cu, 0.89 g/t Au, and\n5.91 g/t Ag (1.98% CuEq) over 12.6 m, within a\nbroader interval of 0.41% Cu,\n0.38 g/t Au, and 3.92 g/t Ag (0.58% CuEq) over\n86.8 meters, from 244.2 m in 26SCM126.\n\n\n“Copper is trading at an all-time high of US$6.44/lb\nand could go a lot higher as the effects of a supply squeeze and the\nIran war are supercharged by stockpiling and mine closures,”\nreports Forbes on May 11,\n2026.\n\n\nWith gold trading at about US$4,650 per ounce, the\n.89 g/t gold reported from the 117 Lens may positively impact Selkirk\nCopper’s future bottom line. Additional drilling is planned to\ndevelop a better understanding of this mineralized zone.\n\n\nThe green energy transformation creates copper demand.\nMoney printing, government debt and the de-dollarization of the global\neconomy creates gold demand.\n\n\n“The 0.40 g/t\ngap between the average grade of currently\nproducing gold mines and the global undeveloped deposit pipeline is\none of the most consequential structural trends in the gold mining\nsector,” reports Discovery Alert. “It is not simply a geological observation; it is a\nforward-looking cost signal.”\n\n\nIn 2007, a gold and silver stream was sold to finance\nthe construction of the Minto Mine, now controlled by Selkirk.
