## Minestarters Atlas summary

Eureka Metals has reported scandium assay results from a 2026 grab sampling program at the Tyee Titanium Project in Québec. The 34 samples returned an average of 26.8 ppm scandium, suggesting potential for scandium to be recovered as a by-product of titanium processing.

Reasoning: The identification of consistent scandium mineralization at a titanium project provides a significant secondary value driver, supported by established regional industry context.

- Positive factor: Consistent scandium mineralization identified

- Positive factor: QA/QC protocols disclosed

- Positive factor: Critical mineral potential identified

- Negative factor: Results from grab sampling are selective and not necessarily representative

- Negative factor: Metallurgical recoverability not yet proven

Facts used in scoring: 2

## 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: Release details use of Actlabs, blanks, standards \(OREAS 86\), and duplicates.

Evidence · text

> IOS inserted four QA/QC samples, consisting of two blanks and two certified reference materials \(OREAS 86\).

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results.

Why it applies: The project is positioned within the same complex as Rio Tinto's Lac Tio mine.

Evidence · text

> Tyee is located within the Havre-Saint-Pierre Anorthosite Complex, which also hosts Rio Tinto's Lac Tio titanium mine.

## 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.
