## Minestarters Atlas summary

Clean Air Metals Inc. is launching a 2025 summer drilling program to test newly identified down-plunge extension targets at its Escape Deposit within the Thunder Bay North Critical Minerals Project in Ontario, Canada. This program, starting with a 900-m hole, aims to significantly expand the high-grade platinum-palladium-copper-nickel sulphide mineralization based on recent geophysical assessments. The company is also advancing a Preliminary Economic Assessment for the project, focusing on higher-grade areas.

Reasoning: The company is commencing a new drilling program targeting high-grade, down-plunge extensions of the Escape Deposit, identified through new geophysical assessments, with the potential to significantly expand the existing resource.

- Positive factor: new\_drill\_targets

- Positive factor: geophysical\_confirmation

- Positive factor: high\_grade\_potential

- Negative factor: drilling\_not\_yet\_completed

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

Facts used in scoring: 24

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The drilling program is explicitly aimed at testing the 'down-plunge extension' of the Escape Deposit, indicating an effort to expand known mineralization.

Evidence · text

> upcoming 2025 summer drilling program aimed at testing the interpreted down-plunge extension of the Escape Deposit

**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 press release states that a Qualified Person \(QP\) has reviewed and approved all technical information, indicating a level of quality assurance and quality control disclosure.

Evidence · text

> Dr. Lionnel Djon, Ph.D., P.Geo., a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 and Vice President of Exploration for the Company, has reviewed and approved all technical information in this press release.

**NI 43-101 Compliant**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard.

Why it applies: The technical information in the press release has been reviewed and approved by a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.

Evidence · text

> Dr. Lionnel Djon, Ph.D., P.Geo., a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101

**Stale Data Re-release**

Polarity: negative

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

Why it applies: The document includes 'Highlights of the high-grade results disclosed in the October 29, 2020, News Release', indicating that these specific drill results are historical and not new.

- Positive factor: strong\_width

- Negative factor: stale\_data

Evidence · text

> 18.0 m of 3.20g/t Pd

#### Rejected tags

**Bonanza Intercept** — Rejected; excluded from scoring

Polarity: positive

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

Reason: The palladium grade of 3.20 g/t over 18.0 m is exceptionally high for PGEs.

## 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.
