## Minestarters Atlas summary

IDEX Metals has confirmed significant tungsten enrichment at the Freeze Property in Idaho using a more accurate sodium peroxide fusion \(SPF\) re-assay method. The results include high-grade internal zones and broad mineralization, adding a critical-metals dimension to the existing copper-molybdenum porphyry system.

Reasoning: The re-assay results using sodium peroxide fusion \(SPF\) revealed significantly higher tungsten grades than previously reported via four-acid digestion, uncovering high-grade internal zones and broad enrichment in a known Cu-Mo system.

- Positive factor: Significant tungsten enrichment confirmed via superior analytical method \(SPF\)

- Positive factor: High-grade internal zones identified within broad mineralization

- Positive factor: Visible coarse scheelite provides geological validation

- Positive factor: Adds a new critical-metal dimension to an existing Cu-Mo system

- Negative factor: Early-stage results from only two drill holes

Facts used in scoring: 5

## 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 mentions use of certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates, and names AGAT Laboratories.

Evidence · text

> The Company’s QA/QC program includes the insertion of certified reference materials, blanks and duplicates, as appropriate.

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm.

Why it applies: 1.55% WO3 is exceptionally high for a tungsten porphyry-related system.

Evidence · text

> 1.21 metres grading 1.55% WO 3

## 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.
