## Minestarters Atlas summary

Amaroq Ltd. has commenced scout drilling at the Ilua Pegmatite prospect in South Greenland to test the scale and continuity of a rare earth discovery. Previous surface sampling in 2025 returned high-grade results of up to 2.31% total rare earth oxide, including significant magnet metals.

Reasoning: The announcement of the first drilling program at a high-grade REE prospect is a significant exploration milestone for the company.

- Positive factor: High-grade surface samples \(2.31% TREO\)

- Positive factor: Presence of magnet metals \(Nd, Pr, Dy, Tb\)

- Positive factor: Low deleterious elements \(U, Th\) reported

- Positive factor: Commencement of first drilling program

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The company is moving from surface sampling to scout drilling to test the system at depth.

Evidence · text

> The drilling program will provide our first opportunity to assess the continuity, geometry and commercial characteristics of the system at depth

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results.

Why it applies: The project is positioned near world-class projects Kvanefjeld and Tanbreez.

Evidence · text

> hosts world-class rare earths project such as Kvanefjeld and Critical Metals Corp.'s Tanbreez project about 75 miles \(120 kilometers\) to the northeast

- Positive factor: High-grade intercept

Evidence · text

> Samples collected by Amaroq geologists from the Ilua Pegmatite Zone in 2025 returned grades as high as 2.31% total rare earth oxide

#### Tags used in scoring

**No QA/QC Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document.

Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is not true

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

**Stale Data Re-release**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Historical results re-announced with no new assays or reinterpretation — low genuine novelty.

Why it applies: the fact restates a prior release

## 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.
