## Minestarters Atlas summary

Amarc has reported significant step-out drill results from hole JP25098 at the Joy project in British Columbia. The intercepts, which include 159m at 0.33% Cu, 0.43 g/t Au, and 5.2 g/t Ag, occur outside the previous magnetic high, suggesting the porphyry system is larger than previously interpreted.

Reasoning: Significant step-out copper-gold-silver intercepts \(e.g., 159m @ 0.33% Cu\) found outside the known magnetic high, indicating expanded district-scale potential.

- Positive factor: significant step-out mineralization

- Positive factor: discovery of mineralization outside magnetic high

- Positive factor: coincident IP chargeability response

- Positive factor: continuous mineralization

Facts used in scoring: 15

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Drilling is located southeast of the 2024 discovery holes, expanding the known footprint.

Evidence · text

> located southeast of the 2024 AuRORA Copper-Gold-Silver \("Cu-Au-Ag"\) Discovery drilling

**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 specific QA/QC protocols, including standards, duplicates, and blanks, and names an accredited lab.

Evidence · text

> As part of a comprehensive Quality Assurance/Quality Control \("QAQC"\) program, Amarc control samples were inserted

## 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.
