## Minestarters Atlas summary

Fireweed Metals Corp. reported high-grade drill results from a 180m step-out hole \(TS26-003\) at the Tom South deposit within the Macpass Project. The hole intersected a 64m true width interval of 8.35% ZnEq, including a high-grade 27m true width sub-interval of 12.85% ZnEq.

Reasoning: The hole TS26-003 is a significant 180m step-out that intersected the thickest mineralization to date at Tom South, with high-grade ZnEq sub-intervals and clearly disclosed true widths and QA/QC.

- Positive factor: Step-Out Extension

- Positive factor: True Width Disclosed

- Positive factor: Bonanza Intercept

- Positive factor: QA/QC Disclosed

Facts used in scoring: 12

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Hole TS26-003 is a 180m step-out from TS25-001D1.

Evidence · text

> Hole TS26-003, a step-out, extended the known extent of the mineralized zone 180 m down dip and east along strike

**True Width Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length.

Why it applies: The release explicitly reports true widths for the primary and nested intervals.

Evidence · text

> Intersected thicknesses shown – see Table 1 for full results and true thicknesses.

**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 details a rigorous QA/QC program including standards, blanks, and duplicates, with an ISO 17025 accredited lab.

Evidence · text

> The diamond drill core logging and sampling program was carried out under a rigorous quality assurance / quality control program

Reasoning: Expanded from assay table. 6.59 % zinc is moderate against the default band \[18, 10, 5, 2\] %. Grade×width 58.7 %·m is moderate.

- Negative factor: Scored from rubric bands during table expansion, not from document context.

#### Tags used in scoring

**True Width Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length.

Why it applies: true\_width\_m is 5.1

**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: qaqc\_disclosed is true

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

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

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

Reasoning: Expanded from assay table. 0.14 % lead is below against the default band \[10, 6, 3, 1\] %. Grade×width 1.2 %·m is below.

- Negative factor: 0.14 % lead is below the weak threshold \(1 %\) on the default band.

## 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.
