## Minestarters Atlas summary

Bitterroot Resources has intersected magmatic nickel-copper-PGM mineralization at its LM Property in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The deepest interval reported is 5.3m at 0.58% Ni and 0.62% Cu, with indications that the mineralized unit is thickening at depth.

Reasoning: The drill results intersect a magmatic conduit with nickel-copper-PGM mineralization, which management notes is thickening at depth. The results are supported by robust QA/QC disclosure.

- Positive factor: discovery of magmatic mineralization

- Positive factor: thickening at depth

- Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed

Facts used in scoring: 5

## Classification and evidence

**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 includes details on ALS Canada Ltd. using standards and blanks.

Evidence · text

> Analytical quality assurance and quality control \(QA/QC\) confirming the accuracy of the analyses were performed by ALS using seven \(7\) standard samples and two \(2\) blanks.

**True Width Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length.

Why it applies: The document explicitly states an estimated true thickness of 4.8 metres.

Evidence · text

> approximately 4.8 metres true thickness

## 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.
