## Minestarters Atlas summary

Columbia Yukon Explorations Inc. announced significant molybdenum step-out drill results at the Storie property in British Columbia, including a 144m intercept at 0.095% Mo. The program also included infill drilling intended to upgrade existing Indicated resources to the Measured category.

Reasoning: The release reports significant step-out molybdenum intercepts \(up to 144m\) that extend the known resource footprint, alongside infill drilling aimed at resource upgrade.

- Positive factor: Step-out mineralization confirmed outside known resource

- Positive factor: Significant intercept widths

- Positive factor: QA/QC protocols disclosed

Facts used in scoring: 17

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Five holes are located outside of the known NI 43-101 resource.

Evidence · text

> five of which holes are located outside of the known NI 43-101 resource

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: Release details Loring Labs, Acme Analytical for inter-lab analysis, and internal QA/QC.

Evidence · text

> In addition to both Loring Labs' and Columbia Yukon's internal QA/QC, every 20th sample reject pulp is being sent to Acme Analytical Laboratories

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery.

Why it applies: Holes ST08-132, 135, and 136 are explicitly described as infill holes for resource reclassification.

Evidence · text

> Drill hole ST08-132 \(an infill hole designed to reclassify the known deposit from an Indicated category to a Measured category

## 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.
