## Minestarters Atlas summary

CleanTech Vanadium highlights the alignment between its projects and a new US$1 billion DOE initiative to secure critical mineral supply chains. The company specifically notes its Gibellini vanadium project in Nevada, which has received a positive EIS Record of Decision and features a highly favorable strip ratio.

Reasoning: The company restates its Gibellini vanadium resource which is well-positioned for federal funding due to its low strip ratio and recent environmental approval.

- Positive factor: Positive EIS Record of Decision received

- Positive factor: Low strip ratio \(0.4 to 1\) improves economics

- Positive factor: Alignment with US DOE funding initiatives

- Negative factor: Resource is primarily vanadium, but company also focuses on fluorspar projects

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**NI 43-101 Compliant**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: The technical report for the Gibellini project is a NI 43-101 report.

Evidence · text

> NI 43-101 Technical Report on Mineral Resources

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: The company reports a significant portion of the Gibellini resource in the inferred category.

Evidence · text

> 31.5 million tons grading 0.31% V 2 O 5 \(195 million pounds of vanadium pentoxide\) in inferred category

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience.

Why it applies: Carlos Zamora, a member of AIPG and CPG, is named as the Qualified Person.

Evidence · text

> prepared under the supervision of Carlos Zamora, is a member of the American Institute of Professional Geologists \(AIPG\) and a Certified Professional Geologist \(CPG\)

## 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.
