Kintavar Exploration Inc. issued a clarification regarding the Roger Project, stating that the resource estimates provided in a previous release are historical estimates from a 2018 technical report. The company noted that verification drilling and further studies are required to upgrade these to current mineral resources.
Reasoning: The company is clarifying that previously disclosed resource figures for the Roger Project are historical estimates from 2018 and are not current NI 43-101 compliant resources.
Negative factors
- Historical estimate only
- Insufficient work to determine reliability
- Requires verification drilling
Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

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.
