The company also expanded its project footprint by staking an additional 925 hectares and expects to release an updated Mineral Resource Estimate in the coming months. Reasoning: The company completed its seasonal drilling and expanded its land position, signaling progress toward a resource update, though no new assay values were provided in this specific release. - Positive factor: completion of 2026 drilling campaign - Positive factor: expansion of project footprint via staking 925 hectares - Positive factor: strategic location near major infrastructure and existing mines - Positive factor: upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate expected Facts used in scoring: 2 ## Classification and evidence **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The drilling campaign is described as delivering geological data to advance understanding and support an upcoming MRE. Evidence · text > delivering strong geological data across the full program... positions us well to deliver an updated Mineral Resource Estimate ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 2. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (1) ### Fact 1 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/high-tide-resources-stakes-more-ground-at-labrador-west-iron-project-as-drilling--e1945b57-7c9f-416c-9779-8382aad13fc0#fact-drill-facts-0) Labrador West · iron\_ore Needs review: drill\_no\_hole\_id #### Identity - Project: Labrador West - Commodity: iron\_ore - Region: labrador - Reported Region: labrador - Ticker: HTRC #### Geometry - Intercept: 6335 m #### Classification - Program: exploration - Sample Type: drill #### QA/QC - QA/QC Methods: standards #### Review - Needs Review: Yes - Review Reason: drill\_no\_hole\_id - Interp.

Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is not 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 **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: proximity is offered as the value premise: "\(" High Tide " or the " Company "\) \( CSE:HTRC \) is pleased to report that it has completed the 2026 drilling campaign an" ## Resource Estimates (1) ### inferred [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/high-tide-resources-stakes-more-ground-at-labrador-west-iron-project-as-drilling--e1945b57-7c9f-416c-9779-8382aad13fc0#fact-resource-facts-1) Labrador West Iron Project · iron\_ore Historical result Needs review: historical\_restatement #### Identity - Project: Labrador West Iron Project - Commodity: iron\_ore - Region: labrador - Reported Region: Labrador - Ticker: HTRC #### Resource scope - Estimate type: resource - Resource group id: resource:8882e569df5dbac24341 #### Resource Data - Category: inferred - Tonnes: 655000000 - Grade: 28.84 - Grade Unit: % #### Review - Needs Review: Yes - Review Reason: historical\_restatement - Historical: Yes - Historical Source Date: 2023-04-06T00:00:00.000Z #### Dates - Event date: 2026-09-30T00:00:00.000Z Reasoning: Restatement of the 2023 technical report resource. - Positive factor: large tonnage - Negative factor: inferred category Evidence · text > hosts a NI 43-101 Inferred mineral resource of 655 Mt at 28.84% Fe, as set out in the Company's technical report dated April 6, 2023 #### Tags used in scoring **Inferred Resource** Polarity: negative Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone. Why it applies: category is "inferred" **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 **No Contained Metal** Polarity: negative Definition: Tonnage and grade reported but contained metal not calculated or disclosed — incomplete reporting. Why it applies: contained\_metal was not reported **Resource Update** Polarity: neutral Definition: Revised estimate for an existing resource — compare to prior to assess progress. Why it applies: the release compares against a previous estimate **DFS-Supporting** Polarity: neutral Definition: Resource estimate prepared to support a Definitive Feasibility Study — requires high M&I confidence. Why it applies: the release names the study this estimate supports **Stale Estimate** Polarity: negative Definition: Effective date is >2 years old — data currency concern, may not reflect current geological understanding. Why it applies: effective date is 3.5 years before this release ## 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.
