## Minestarters Atlas summary

Ameriwest Critical Metals reported initial modern assay results from historical drill core at its Bornite Cu-Au-Ag project in Oregon, revealing high-grade copper equivalent intercepts over substantial widths. Highlights include 57.9 meters at 5.59% CuEq and 51.8 meters at 6.17% CuEq from hole CC24, and 57.9 meters at 3.26% CuEq from hole CC26. These results, which show higher Cu, Au, and Ag values compared to historical data, are part of a program to evaluate the historical database for a future NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate.

Reasoning: Modern assays of historical drill core returned high-grade copper equivalent intercepts over significant widths, validating and potentially improving upon historical data, with robust QA/QC, supporting future resource estimation.

- Positive factor: High-grade copper equivalent intercepts

- Positive factor: Significant widths

- Positive factor: Modern assays validating and improving historical data

- Positive factor: Robust QA/QC procedures disclosed

- Positive factor: Potential for future resource estimation

- Negative factor: True width currently unknown

- Negative factor: Small sample size for statistical comparison with historical data

Facts used in scoring: 14

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm.

Why it applies: The intercept of 6.17% CuEq over 51.8 meters in hole CC24 is exceptionally high-grade for copper equivalent.

Evidence · text

> 170.0 ft of 6.17% CuEq

**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 explicitly states that all intervals are downhole lengths and true widths are currently unknown.

Evidence · text

> all intervals are downhole lengths; true widths are currently unknown.

**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: The release details the QA/QC program, including the insertion of CRMs, laboratory internal procedures \(CRMs, blanks, duplicates\), and QP review and approval.

Evidence · text

> The Company's QA/QC program for the assay work included a series of Au and Cu CRMs inserted at a frequency of approximately 1 in every 10 samples. Laboratory internal QA/QC procedures included the analysis of a number of CRMs, blanks and duplicates. The QP reviewed the analytical and QA/QC results and determined the results to be acceptable for the purposes of this disclosure.

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: The modern assay program involves re-sampling historical core to evaluate the reliability and consistency of historical data, which serves to verify and improve confidence in existing mineralization for resource evaluation.

Evidence · text

> The current program is designed to evaluate the reliability and consistency of historical Cu, Au, and Ag assay information through comparison with modern analyses at Bornite.

**Stale Data Re-release**

Polarity: negative

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

Why it applies: The historical assay results presented in the table are from drilling conducted between 1976 and 1990 and are included for comparison, not as new information.

Evidence · text

> Historical assays from hole CC26 included an interval from 270.0 ft to 740.0 ft that had a significant intercept greater than or equal to 0.5% CuEq.

#### Tags used in scoring

**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: qaqc\_disclosed is true

**Metal Equivalent Opaque**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Metal equivalent grade reported without disclosing the price, recovery, or payability assumptions used.

Why it applies: an equivalent grade is reported without its assumptions

**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.
