# Altair Reports Overlimit High Grade Zinc Assays from Initial Drill Hole, Crepulje Project, Mitrovica District, Kosovo Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/altair-reports-overlimit-high-grade-zinc-assays-from-initial-drill-hole-crepulje--3fd97e31-70c5-492e-ae2e-3ab003c48c20 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/AVX/news/7445633121664107/altair-reports-overlimit-high-grade-zinc-assays-from-initial-drill-hole-crepulje Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2017-06-09T12:30:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Altair Resources Inc. - Ticker: AVX - Exchange: TSX - Region: Kosovo - Primary commodity: Zinc - Secondary commodities: Lead - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-08-21 13:10:04 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Altair Resources reported high-grade zinc and lead assays from initial diamond drilling at the Crepulje Project in Kosovo. The results from hole CRP 008 confirm high-grade oxidized zinc mineralization previously identified via surface trenching. Reasoning: The drill hole CRP 008 returned exceptional zinc grades \(up to 29.45%\) and lead, confirming high-grade mineralization previously seen in surface trenches. - Positive factor: exceptional zinc grades - Positive factor: confirmation of surface trenching grades - Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed - Negative factor: true width not established Facts used in scoring: 8 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: Zinc grades of 28.88% and 29.45% are exceptional for a zinc deposit. Evidence · table > 28.88 Context: 8.50 **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 mentions internal standards and blanks are routinely inserted. Evidence · text > Internal standards and blanks are routinely inserted **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: The document states true thickness cannot be established as the attitude of the mineralization is not known. Evidence · text > true thickness of the zones cannot be established ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 8. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (8) ### CRP 008 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/altair-reports-overlimit-high-grade-zinc-assays-from-initial-drill-hole-crepulje--3fd97e31-70c5-492e-ae2e-3ab003c48c20#fact-drill-facts-0) Crepulje Project · zinc #### Identity - Hole ID: CRP 008 - Project: Crepulje Project - Commodity: zinc - Region: kosovo - Reported Region: Kosovo - Ticker: AVX #### Geometry - Grade: 10.11 - Grade Unit: % - Intercept: 9.8 m - From: 0 m - To: 9.8 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: CRP 008:0.0-9.8 - Mining Method: unknown #### QA/QC - Laboratory: ALS Laboratory Services - QA/QC Disclosed: Yes - Lab Certified: Yes - QP Signed: Yes - QA/QC Methods: standards, blanks #### Review - Needs Review: No - Interp.

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.
