Breaking News Could Draw Buzz To (Nasdaq: NEXM) Early Monday (What To Focus On)


July 28th

Dear Reader,


NexMetals Mining Corp. (Nasdaq: NEXM) could start earning significant attention on the back of breaking news today!


Check it out:


NexMetals Achieves an Initial 15.2% Head Grade Increase at Selebi North Using Modern Technology Demonstrating High Recoveries and Significant Waste Reduction


Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 28, 2025) - NexMetals Mining Corp. (TSXV: NEXM) (NASDAQ: NEXM) (the "Company" or "NEXM") reports initial results from its bulk test work using X-ray transmission ("XRT") ore sorting at its past-producing copper-nickel-cobalt ("Cu-Ni-Co") Selebi Mine in Botswana. These initial results demonstrate the potential to significantly reduce processing mass while maintaining high metal recoveries and minimal losses.


Positive Impact on the Project:


  • Increase of Head Grade from Mine to Mill


Potential to reduce the amount of waste rock being sent to the mill and enhancing the head grade by over 15% from the initial tests. Ongoing testing is focused on further improving these results.


  • Enhanced Process Efficiency


By removing ~15.2% of the mass before further processing, the volume directed to grinding and flotation circuits is substantially reduced, offering direct energy, reagent, and throughput benefits.


  • High Metal Retention


With 98% recovery, only minimal copper and nickel are lost, demonstrating excellent selectivity and precision in sorting.


  • Economic & Environmental Upside


Bulky waste is diverted pre-processing, leading to lower expected operating costs, shorter critical water usage, reduced downstream tailings, and improved project carbon footprint.


Next Steps:


Driven by these strong initial results, the Company has initiated additional XRT trials on samples from its Selebi and Selkirk projects. The work is being carried out at IMS Engineering in South Africa.


...


Morgan Lekstrom, CEO of the Company, commented: "This is a very favorable outcome to enhance the current flowsheet and focus on higher grades with less waste feeding into the mill. These early indications emphasize that XRT technology can significantly reduce downstream processing waste while maintaining exceptional copper and nickel recoveries with minimal metal losses. If integrated into processing flowsheets, this work could allow for early waste rejection, potentially reducing downstream energy and water usage, tailings volume, and overall costs."

With copper prices surging in the recent term, this news could start generating some serious buzz around the market.


Take a moment to review my initial (Nasdaq: NEXM) report below and consider this exploration profile for your watchlist.

-----


little-known mining developer is quickly gaining traction in the copper mining industry.


Their focus? Revitalizing historic, high-grade copper-nickel-cobalt-PGE projects in Botswana.


Consider this:


  • As global demand for copper surges due to supply chain shifts, tariffs, and the drive toward green energy, this company’s considerable resource base is starting to turn heads.


  • Notably, the company’s aggressive exploration efforts and recent strategic partnerships are fueling buzz within the industry.


  • With experts estimating Africa will need roughly one billion metric tons of copper to develop infrastructure across the continent, this operator in Botswana is strategically positioned with three past producing mines in their project portfolio.


Given its resource expansion drill program and the evolving copper landscape in 2025, this is one company that stands out for further watchlist consideration:


NexMetals Mining Corp. (Nasdaq: NEXM) (TSXV: NEXM)


NexMetals Mining Corp. (Nasdaq: NEXM) is a mineral exploration and development company focused primarily on redeveloping its past-producing copper, nickel, cobalt, PGE mines in Botswana, specifically the Selebi and Selkirk projects. The company possesses mining leases, permits, updated NI 43-101 resource estimates, and an experienced team stewarding resource development, exploration, and project financing.


Botswana: A Choice Jurisdiction


NexMetals operates in Botswana, recognized as one of Africa’s safest and most stable mining jurisdictions. Botswana’s political stability, transparent regulatory environment, and strong support for foreign investment have contributed to NexMetals’ ability to attract both private and multinational institutional capital.


Project Portfolio


The Selebi Mine

Resource Estimate:



Status: The mine holds a valid mining lease. It presents significant exploration upside, especially as ongoing geophysical programs potentially suggest that previously distinct mineralized bodies may be connected at depth, potentially expanding the resource base dramatically. The company is testing this through a drilling program now. 


Strategic Value: Selebi’s high copper-equivalent and historic production underpins its restart viability. Modern survey and electromagnetic techniques are being used to identify further targets.


The Selkirk Mine

Resource Estimate:



Exploration: a previous re-assay program of the historical core has returned grades up to 5.59% CuEq over 3.95 meters, and electromagnetic anomalies are being aggressively tested.


Advancement: Ongoing metallurgical test work and infill drilling are expected to support a future update to the mineral resource estimate.


Recent Developments and Strategic Milestones


Financial Backing and U.S. Support


NexMetals announced in July 2025 that it had received a non-binding letter of interest from the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) for up to $150Mn in project financing, with a tenure of up to 15 years.


This potential landmark funding, tied to the U.S. government’s drive to secure critical metals supply chains, signals substantial confidence in NexMetals’ assets and Botswana’s jurisdictional stability. The interest from EXIM aligns with U.S. strategic policies under the China and Transformational Exports Program (CTEP) to diversify and secure critical mineral supplies.


Private Investment


Earlier in 2025, the company attracted CA$46Mn in equity financing led by prominent mining financiers, further reinforcing NexMetals’ perceived near-term growth prospects and production potential.


Exploration Highlights


Selebi Exploration: Ongoing drilling programs aim to demonstrate that the resource areas are connected at depth, as interpreted through modern geophysics.


Selkirk Expansion: A surface drilling program is currently underway, aimed at expanding the resource and advancing metallurgical flowsheet development. In parallel, a targeted resampling program of historic drill core is ongoing to unlock additional resource growth and support resource reclassification efforts.


The Copper Climate in 2025


Copper Price Environment


Copper prices soared to all-time highs above $5/lb in March 2025, spurred by U.S.–China trade tensions and new tariffs on imported copper, before correcting to the $4.20–$4.70/lb range by mid-2025. At the time of writing, the price of copper was back over $5/lb.


Goldman Sachs forecasts a global supply deficit for copper as robust electrification demand and infrastructure investment continue, especially from China and the U.S.


Structural Factors


Supply Chain Security: Tariff policy, predominantly from the U.S., is driving resource nationalism and “friend-shoring” of supply chains, favoring Western-focused projects in stable countries.


Green Energy Transition: Copper is essential for electrification, renewable power, and EVs, underpinning robust long-term demand regardless of short-term price volatility.


Project Scarcity: The pipeline of new, high-grade, permitted copper projects is thin, making projects like Selebi and Selkirk particularly attractive.


NexMetals’ Competitive Position


High-Grade Resource Base


Selebi and Selkirk offer grades and tonnages rarely matched by greenfield projects currently on the market: large with significant exploration upside.


Updated resource estimates, modern drilling, and metallurgical testing may increase project scale and economic returns further.


Strategic Location and ESG Credentials


Botswana’s stable geopolitical backdrop, combined with NexMetals’ adherence to rigorous environmental, social, and governance (ESG) protocols, positions the company as a preferred supplier for global offtakers seeking traceable, responsibly produced copper and related metals.


The company’s mission incorporates responsible mining, continuous stakeholder engagement, and the goal of positive community impact.


Capital Strength and U.S. Policy Alignment


U.S. EXIM’s interest is a strong validator and could catalyze further institutional investment and potentially facilitate project finance. U.S. support could align NexMetals with Western critical minerals supply aspirations, de-risking project development.


Immediate Factors/Potential Catalysts


#1. Current exploration and drilling campaigns at both Selebi and Selkirk are targeting potential expansion of of existing resources.


#2. Additional strategic partnerships could be on the horizon, as global demand for copper prompts interest from those looking for sources beyond China and other higher-risk locations.


In Summary


NexMetals Mining Corp. (Nasdaq: NEXM) (TSXV: NEXM) is situated to benefit from rising demand for copper over both the short and long term. With proven brownfield sites, increasing financial and geopolitical support, and a strong approach to exploration—all within a stable jurisdiction—NexMetals stands out in the current copper landscape.
