One year ago, Selkirk First Nation (SFN) purchased the former Minto Mine out of bankruptcy, then partnered with the Frank Giustra-backed Fiore Group to form Selkirk Copper Mines.

Canada, 11th Jun 2026 – Global Stocks News – Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of Selkirk Copper Mines. On June 3, 2026 Selkirk Copper Mines (TSXV: SCMI) (FRA: IO20) (OTCQB: SKRKF) released final results from its Phase 1 drill program, conducted between August 2025 and April 2026.

One year ago, Selkirk First Nation (SFN) purchased the former Minto Mine out of bankruptcy, then partnered with the Frank Giustra-backed Fiore Group to form Selkirk Copper Mines.

SCMI is derisking the Minto Mine through exploration, resource expansion, engineering and mine planning, with the goal of establishing a 12-15 year mine life prior to production restart.

“The Phase 1 drill program has achieved exceptional results at each of the five primary target areas within the mine footprint,” stated Selkirk President & CEO Colin Joudrie in the June 3, 2026 press release. “We have expanded known zones of mineralization, discovering several higher-grade copper-gold-silver intervals within known zones, discovering several new lenses of high-grade mineralization, and discovering mineralization at depths previously undrilled.”

“The team successfully completed the largest drill program in the Yukon over the last ten years and did so safely, on-budget, and on-schedule through one of the coldest falls and winters on record,” added Joudrie. “These results are being incorporated into an updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment that remains on track for completion in mid-2026.”

The drilling completed at Area 118 has confirmed discovery of a high-grade mineralized lens at depth beneath the previously known resources in this area. This has been designated the 301 Lens. It has been intersected by widely spaced drill holes over an area approximately 500 x 300 metres, with thicknesses ranging from 4 to 20 metres thick.

In the central part of the Mine area, recent drilling has delineated mineralization underground between two historical open pits, the Minto Main Pit and the Area 2 Pit. This has been designated the 117 Lens. It has been delineated over an area approximately 300 X 250 metres and remains open to the west.

Drilling at Minto East targeted the expansion of several stacked mineralized lenses including hole 26SCM125 with three significant mineralized intercepts spaced approximately 100 m apart, including 1.4 m grading 11.23% CuEq at 211 m, 2.7m grading 5.41% CuEq at 336 m, and 4.8m grading 1.51% CuEq at 438 m 

Drilling at Ridgetop targeted shallow mineralization that can potentially be mined via an open pit at a lower cut-off grade. Drill hole 26SCM137 intersection of 0.46% Cu, 0.14 g/t Au, and 1.57 g/t Ag (0.58% CuEq) over 69.6 m, from 13.7 m.

Drilling at Minto North focused on expanding and delineating the Minto Northwest zone. 

The Minto North West Zone returned some of the highest grade and highest thickness drill intercepts during the Phase 1 drill program. This area has been designated as the 202 Lens for purposes of geological modelling and resource estimation and is notably higher-grade than other parts of Minto North.

At Copper Keel, drill hole 26SCM158 returned an intersection of 0.53% Cu, 0.29 g/t Au, 2.18 g/t Ag (0.77% CuEq) over 9.9 metres.

The Phase 2 drill program began on May 1, 2026. Four drill rigs are now active, targeting approximately 50,000 metres with a focus on resource expansion, infill drilling, geotechnical drilling, and geo-metallurgical data collection to support increased resource confidence and mine planning for planned feasibility study work.

Drilling productivity has been significantly higher than Selkirk expected, averaging 120 metres per day, compared to 94 metres per day during the Phase 1 program. 

On May 25, 2026, Selkirk announced that it has closed a further investment by Selkirk First Nation for aggregate gross proceeds of C$500,250 at a price of $1.15 per share. The investment was completed in connection with the exercise of Selkirk First Nation’s pro rata participation right under its existing agreement with Selkirk Copper.

In this excerpt from a recent interview with Crux Investor, Selkirk Copper CEO Colin Joudrie explains how the removal of a gold-silver stream has empowered Selkirk to operate as a full co-product mine.

“We are advantaged by the bankruptcy,” Joudrie confirmed to Crux Investor. “We have removed a gold-silver stream that sat astride this asset all the way back to 2007. This is not a by-product copper, gold, silver mine. This is a co-product mine.”

“Sixty-five percent of the revenue is from copper, 35% from gold and silver, the majority of which is gold. Removal of that stream is a game-changer for the asset from a financial and operating perspective. In the broader metals complex, the price changes from May of 2023, we’re up 150-200% across those three metals, and that doesn’t look like it’s changing anytime soon.”

“Copper is trading just above $14,000 a ton in London, roughly $500 shy of its all-time high set in January, and Wall Street thinks it has further to run,” reports Oilprice.com on June 3, 2026. “Grid expansion, electric vehicles, data center construction, and clean energy investment continue to absorb copper at a pace that the market struggled to meet even before the supply shocks.”

Results from the 50,000-metre Phase 2 drill program are expected to be released throughout the summer and fall of 2026.

Technical aspects of this news release have also been reviewed, verified and approved by Leif Bailey, P.Geo., Director of Geoscience & Exploration of Selkirk Copper Mines Inc., who is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

23 Years, One Question: “Diaoyu Dao: Small Islands, Big Stakes” — A CGTN Documentary

Published

on

This article was produced to coincide with the release of CGTN’s new documentary Diaoyu Dao: Small Islands, Big Stakes. Inspired by one of the documentary’s stories, it follows Chinese scholar Wu Tianying’s 23-year pursuit of historical truth, showing how one man’s lifelong research underscores the enduring importance of historical evidence in understanding the Diaoyu Dao (known in Japan as the Senkaku Islands) dispute.


https://youtu.be/ohsuJMRJ7GM?si=k2LX9Hv-oZKpIwMw

“In the years before the First Sino–Japanese War, were Diaoyu Dao and its affiliated islands terra nullius – or were they already Chinese territory?”

At 90 years old, Professor Wu Tianying still asks that question slowly and carefully.

In a quiet study lined with books and documents, the veteran Chinese scholar opens a worn manuscript – “On the Territorial Sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands Prior to 1894.”

It took him 23 years to complete and publish.

For Wu, the book was never simply an academic study.

“It was a commitment to sovereignty,” he says in CGTN’s new documentary “Diaoyu Dao: Small Islands, Big Stakes.”

Part Two of the documentary, “Behind Closed Doors,” follows Wu’s decades-long effort to trace the historical origins of the Diaoyu Dao dispute – not through slogans or political rhetoric, but through archives, maps and an unexpected intellectual exchange with Japanese scholars.

The deeper I searched…”

Wu Tianying belongs to one of the earliest generations of Chinese scholars to systematically study the Diaoyu Dao issue after China and Japan normalized relations.

At the center of his research was one key argument.

Japan’s claim over the islands rests partly on the concept of terra nullius – land belonging to no state before incorporation.

If the islands were terra nullius, they could, in principle, be claimed through occupation under international law.

In his research, Wu asked whether Japan’s incorporation of Diaoyu Dao during the late 19th century was truly unrelated to its war against the Qing government.

His work brought him into contact with Japanese historian Kiyoshi Inoue.

Inoue had originally sought to prove that the islands belonged to Japan.

Years of studying historical materials led him to  a different conclusion.

“The deeper I searched,” Inoue says in archival footage in the documentary, “the clearer it became that the Senkaku Islands (Diaoyu Dao) are China’s territory rather than terra nullius. They have nothing to do with Japan.”

In 1995, Inoue received a copy of Wu’s book.

A year later, Inoue wrote back, praising Wu’s work as a “thorough and scientific rebuttal” of Japanese claims represented by scholars such as Toshio Okuyama.

The two scholars came from different countries and very different historical backgrounds. But both believed historical arguments had to be tested against evidence.

Still waiting for an answer

But Behind Closed Doors is not only about the past.

It also asks what happened to the political understanding that once existed between China and Japan over the Diaoyu Dao issue.

Wu Tianying reflects on Japanese scholars who once warned against pushing the dispute further.

He says he is still watching how Japan’s current political leadership responds to those earlier voices inside Japan itself.

And he is still waiting for an answer.

All Thingz Electric Expands EV Charger Installation Services Across South Orange County to Meet Growing Demand

Published

on

Aliso Viejo, California, United States, 25th Jul 2026 – All Thingz Electric, a licensed electrical contractor serving residential and commercial clients throughout Orange County, today announced the expansion of its electric vehicle (EV) charger installation services to meet surging demand across South Orange County communities. As EV adoption accelerates throughout the region, All Thingz Electric is positioning itself as the go-to resource for homeowners navigating the transition to home charging.

Orange County’s EV Surge

California leads the nation in EV adoption, and Orange County communities, particularly Aliso ViejoMission ViejoIrvine, and Laguna Niguel, have seen significant growth in electric vehicle registrations over the past two years. With that growth comes increased demand for Level 2 home charging solutions, which can charge most EVs overnight and are far more efficient than standard 120V outlets.

“We’re getting more calls about EV chargers than almost anything else right now,” said Anthony Feeney, founder and certified journeyman electrician at All Thingz Electric. “A lot of homeowners buy an EV and assume the outlet in the garage will work fine, and it does, slowly. But once they understand what a dedicated Level 2 charger can do, they want it installed right away. It changes how convenient owning an EV actually is.”

What the Installation Involves

A Level 2 EV charger installation typically involves running a dedicated 240V circuit from the electrical panel to the garage or charging location. In some cases, particularly in older homes, a panel upgrade may be required first to accommodate the added load. All Thingz Electric’s technicians evaluate each home’s existing infrastructure before beginning any work, ensuring the right solution is specified the first time. An electrical inspection and code compliance check is included to ensure the installation meets all local requirements.

All Thingz Electric installs chargers from all major brands and can coordinate directly with utility companies on applicable rebate programs.

A Full-Service Electrical Partner

Beyond EV charging, All Thingz Electric offers a comprehensive range of residential electrical services including whole-house surge protectionoutdoor and landscape lighting installationbackup generator installation, and 24/7 emergency electrical services. Free quotes are available for all services, and all work is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

“Orange County homeowners expect quality, and we deliver that on every job,” Feeney said. “Whether someone needs a charger installed or their whole panel replaced, we treat every project like it’s our own home.”

RELVE Q2 Report Reveals AI Hype Gap After Analyzing 1.59M Data Points and 23,000 Tools

Published

on

182 AI developments shipped last quarter. Only 29 required a decision from a SaaS operator. RELVE’s Q2 report “The State of AI for SaaS Companies” analyzed 1.59 million data points across 9 categories and 69 attributes to highlight the hype and the gap.

United States, 25th Jul 2026 – Eighty-four percent of the AI news that reached SaaS founders last quarter changed nothing about how they build, staff, budget, or buy. That’s the central finding of The State of AI for SaaS Companies, RELVE’s Q2 2026 report released 23-July-2026, built on 23,000+ tools reviewed and 1.59 million data points assessed.

Every item was sorted into three labels: 72 Noise, 81 Watch, and 29 Signals. A Signal is a named, verifiable change worth acting on now. Watch items are patterns still forming, with a clear trigger that could turn them urgent. Noise is real news with no consequence for how a company operates.

Coverage did not track with consequence. The three most-covered companies of the quarter took 28.9% of all coverage yet produced zero Signals. Meanwhile, more than a third of the quarter’s Signals had no single company behind them at all. The report found the loudest stories were rarely the ones that mattered most, and that attention and consequence often pointed in opposite directions.

RELVE Q2 Report

The 29 Signals grouped into three shifts. The model layer stopped being the moat as frontier-grade output got cheap and interchangeable. Agents began arriving inside company systems before the governance did, often switched on by default in tools teams already run.

And meeting and notetaker tools started turning into the system of record where a company’s decisions, context, and institutional memory live.

Each shift carries a cost if ignored. On AI governance, RELVE cites IBM research showing that high shadow AI use added $670,000 to the average data breach, and that most organizations breached through AI lacked proper access controls.

On skills, the wage premium for AI-fluent roles reached 62% in 2026, more than double what it was two years earlier. On the model layer, cheaper inference reset the build-versus-buy math for nearly every AI-using company.

The report also reads the macro picture on enterprise AI adoption from the major research firms. Adoption is close to universal at 88%, yet only a small share of organizations capture most of the value.

RELVE draws a distinction here: the big firms survey thousands of executives to measure intent, while RELVE tracks what actually shipped and rules on which developments change what an operator does. Its conclusion is that the bottleneck is now workflow, governance, and people, not the technology itself.

The tool review is the foundation under the report. RELVE assessed those tools across 9 categories on 69 attributes, then shortlisted 1,881 across six categories. Nearly 90% of that shortlist was built as AI from the start, with the rest being established tools that added AI later. Marketing and creative made up the two largest categories.

Funding followed a similar pattern of concentration. Among the shortlisted tools, 695 have recorded funding totalling $93.56 billion, with the top ten accounting for about 58% of the total and a single company representing roughly a third of everything tracked. Engineering and operations pulled the most capital by category, while marketing tools, despite being the largest group by count, raised the least.

Events told the same story as the news. RELVE assessed 26 industry conferences during the quarter and found only two produced a Signal. Several more carried announcements worth a founder’s attention without crossing the bar, and many were covered elsewhere purely as spectacle. 

The report sorts every event by consequence instead of size, and closes the section with the Q3 dates worth holding.

The report ends with a set of concrete moves for operators, split into what to act on this quarter and what to plan for next.

The near-term list covers checking exposure to shifting engineering-tool pricing, running an inventory of enterprise AI agents that can take autonomous action, and setting a permission and data-access rule for each. RELVE frames this as an AI agent governance problem most teams have not solved yet.

The forward list points to building around cheap and interchangeable models rather than scarce ones, and reassessing vendor lock-in as meeting tools consolidate into a system of record.

The full report, including the function-by-function breakdown for marketing, engineering, operations, HR, and creative, is available on the RELVE site.
