## Minestarters Atlas summary

Apex Drills reported significant southern step-out results at the Rift project with hole RIFT26-003. The hole returned a 23.7 m intercept at 4.02% REO within a much broader 124 m zone at 1.94% REO, extending the known mineralized strike.

Reasoning: The drill hole RIFT26-003 represents a significant 120m southern step-out that extends mineralization along strike with high-grade intercepts.

- Positive factor: Step-Out Extension

- Positive factor: Significant grade and scale potential

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: RIFT26-003 was a 120 m southern step-out from the previously reported RIFT26-002

Evidence · text

> RIFT26-003 was a 120 m southern step-out

## 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.
