## Minestarters Atlas summary

Iron Road Ltd has completed its Stage 2 TAU-A RC drilling program at the Irria Prospect in South Australia. While three holes were drilled for a total of 464m, assay results are currently pending laboratory analysis.

Reasoning: The announcement confirms the completion of a drilling program but contains no assay data or grades, making it a procedural update rather than a results release.

- Positive factor: completion of drilling program

- Negative factor: no assay results reported

- Negative factor: no laboratory results yet

Facts used in scoring: 3

## 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: While portable XRF was used on site, formal laboratory assay results and certified QA/QC protocols are not yet disclosed.

Evidence · text

> RC chips were logged and samples analysed on site using portable XRF. Composite samples are now being submitted for laboratory analysis.

## 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.
