## Minestarters Atlas summary

Copper Giant Resources Corp. has engaged Aziwell to implement directional drilling technology at its Mocoa copper-molybdenum porphyry project in Colombia. This initiative is part of the company's largest-ever drill campaign aimed at resource expansion and conversion.

Reasoning: The announcement of a new drilling technology implementation \(directional drilling\) combined with a restatement of a very large Inferred resource provides a strategic update on how the company intends to expand and convert the Mocoa project.

- Positive factor: Implementation of directional drilling to increase data density

- Positive factor: Largest drill campaign in project history

- Positive factor: Significant existing resource base \(12.7 Blbs CuEq\)

- Positive factor: Strategic engagement of specialized technology provider

- Negative factor: Resource is currently 100% Inferred

Facts used in scoring: 4

## Classification and evidence

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

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

Why it applies: The reported resource is entirely in the Inferred category.

Evidence · text

> comprises Inferred resources of 12.7 billion pounds

**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: Edwin Naranjo Sierra, VP of Exploration, is the designated Qualified Person.

Evidence · text

> Edwin Naranjo Sierra... is the designated Qualified Person

**NI 43-101 Compliant**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: The resource estimate is part of an NI 43-101 Technical Report.

Evidence · text

> refer to NI 43-101 Technical Report

## 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.
