# Fort St. James Completes Diamond Drilling Program At Porcupine Base Metal - Precious Metal - REE Property Central New Brunswick Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/fort-st-james-completes-diamond-drilling-program-at-porcupine-base-metal-preciou--948f46ea-daf8-482d-81d7-0750168f5bbb Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/FTJ/news/6201492845248115/fort-st-james-completes-diamond-drilling-program-at-porcupine-base-metal-preciou Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2018-11-08T14:30:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Fort St. James Nickel Corp. - Ticker: FTJ - Exchange: TSX - Region: New Brunswick - Primary commodity: Zinc - Secondary commodities: Lead, Silver, Copper - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-08-25 10:54:10 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.20 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Fort St. James Nickel Corp. has completed its 2018 diamond drilling program at the Porcupine Property in New Brunswick. While all four drill holes intersected base metal sulfides, the company has not yet released new assay results, instead highlighting high-grade historical channel and boulder samples. Reasoning: The release announces the completion of a drilling program but does not provide new assay values, relying instead on unverified historical surface samples to highlight potential. - Positive factor: Intersection of base metal sulfides in all 2018 drill holes - Positive factor: High-grade historical surface samples - Negative factor: Historical surface data \(channel/boulder\) not verified by QP - Negative factor: No new assay results from 2018 drilling provided in this release Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source. Facts used in scoring: 5 ## 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: The release explicitly states that the QP has not verified the historical channel and boulder data. Evidence · text > A qualified person has not verified this data **Stale Data Re-release** Polarity: negative Definition: Historical results re-announced with no new assays or reinterpretation — low genuine novelty. Why it applies: The primary highlights of the release are historical 2012 samples rather than new 2018 assay results. Evidence · text > A boulder sample collected during 2012 ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 5.

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.
