## Minestarters Atlas summary

CleanTech announced a regulatory roadmap for the Campbell-Crotser Fluorspar Project in Kentucky, targeting permit submission by late 2026. The release also restated a 1974 historical resource estimate of 805,841 tonnes, which the company intends to verify with a planned drill program in August 2026.

Reasoning: The company provided a clear permitting schedule and a strategic rationale for fluorspar, but the resource data provided is a non-compliant historical estimate from 1974 that requires verification.

- Positive factor: clear regulatory roadmap

- Positive factor: strategic critical mineral positioning

- Positive factor: planned drill program to verify historical data

- Negative factor: historical resource lacks modern QA/QC

- Negative factor: permitting timeline extends into 2027

- Negative factor: resource is non-compliant with current CIM standards

Facts used in scoring: 6

## Classification and evidence

**Historical Estimate Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Estimate pre-dates or does not comply with current JORC/NI 43-101 standards — requires verification drilling.

Why it applies: The resource estimate provided is from 1974 and does not conform to current CIM standards.

Evidence · text

> The Historical Estimate is presented using the historical category terminology of the source report, which predates and does not conform to the current CIM Definition Standards

**No QP/CP Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: No Qualified Person or Competent Person named — lower credibility for the estimate. A QP/CP should be a member of a recognized professional association with relevant experience.

Why it applies: The historical estimate was prepared by Boyce Moodie III in 1974 and has not been verified by a current QP.

Evidence · text

> The drill core, assay records and underlying geological data have not been independently verified by the Company or by a qualified person

## 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.
