## Minestarters Atlas summary

Enduro Metals has completed its first drill program at the Andrei copper-gold porphyry target in British Columbia. Initial geological observations identified both porphyry-style alteration and low-sulphidation epithermal-style veining, with assay results expected later this year.

Reasoning: The program successfully identified two different target styles \(porphyry and epithermal\) in an inaugural campaign, providing a geological framework for future drilling, though the lack of assay data prevents grade-based valuation.

- Positive factor: Identification of two distinct geological systems \(porphyry and epithermal\)

- Positive factor: Geological observations suggest mineralization increases at depth in AD-03

- Positive factor: Successful first-pass drilling of two principal chargeability anomalies

- Negative factor: Assay results are still pending

- Negative factor: Drilling productivity was lower than planned due to technical/personnel issues

- Negative factor: True widths are currently unknown

Facts used in scoring: 4

## Classification and evidence

**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.

Why it applies: While the company mentions QA/QC for historical Camp Zone data, the current 2026 Andrei drill program assays are pending and no specific QA/QC protocols for this program are detailed in the text.

Evidence · text

> All drill core assays are pending and are expected to be received later in the year.

**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 document explicitly states that true widths for the reported intervals are unknown.

Evidence · text

> Intervals reported are core intervals and true widths or dimensions are unknown.

## 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.
