## Minestarters Atlas summary

District Metals has completed its first drill hole \(VIK-26-001\) at Target A on the Viken Property in Sweden, intersecting a 154.8 m thick interval of Alum Shale. While the intersection validates the company's MobileMT geophysical targeting approach, geochemical assay results are still required to confirm mineralization grades.

Reasoning: The drill hole successfully intersected a thick sequence of Alum Shale as predicted by geophysics, providing proof-of-concept for the targeting method, though economic grade is unconfirmed pending assays.

- Positive factor: successful validation of MobileMT geophysical targeting

- Positive factor: thick 154.8 m interval of Alum Shale intersected

- Positive factor: shallow intersection depth

- Negative factor: no assay grades reported yet

- Negative factor: radioactivity alone is insufficient to establish mineralization

- Negative factor: true thickness not yet determined

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

**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 release identifies Garrett Ainsworth, P.Geo as a Qualified Person \(QP\) under NI 43-101.

Evidence · text

> Garrett Ainsworth, P.Geo, President and CEO of the Company. Mr. Ainsworth is a Qualified Person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101

**Apparent Width Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness.

Why it applies: The company explicitly states that true thickness is yet to be determined and only reports downhole interval.

Evidence · text

> All intervals are core lengths, and true thickness is yet to be determined.

#### Tags used in scoring

**No QA/QC Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document.

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

## 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.
