NexMetals Confirms Selkirk Copper and Nickel Concentrates Meet Smelter Specs

NexMetals Mining Corp. (TSXV: NEXM) (NASDAQ: NEXM) has released final analytical results from its metallurgical test program at the past-producing Selkirk Mine in Botswana, confirming that the copper and nickel concentrates meet commercial smelter specifications.

The full concentrate analytical results follow an initial set announced on April 27, 2026. The tests confirm the potential to produce clean, high-grade, commercially saleable copper and nickel concentrates with low levels of deleterious elements. Selkirk is the company's second advanced-stage project, located approximately 75 km from the Selebi Mine. The results are a key milestone for NexMetals as it advances both projects toward potential development.

For commodities traders, the confirmation of clean concentrates is positive for the copper and nickel supply outlook. Low deleterious elements mean lower penalty charges from smelters, improving the economics of the project.
