## Minestarters Atlas summary

Killi Resources has commenced drilling with a second rig at the Lodestone Iron Ore Project to accelerate its 20,000m program. The program aims to expand and upgrade the existing 110Mt Inferred magnetite resource.

Reasoning: The announcement focuses on operational expansion \(second rig\) to support a resource growth program rather than reporting new assay results or a new resource estimate.

- Positive factor: acceleration of drilling program

- Positive factor: arrival of second rig increases capacity

- Positive factor: recent step-out success mentioned

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**Resource Update**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Revised estimate for an existing resource — compare to prior to assess progress.

Why it applies: The announcement discusses the intent to update the resource through an accelerated drilling program.

Evidence · text

> anticipating multiple resource updates over coming quarters

#### 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

**JORC Compliant**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with JORC Code \(Australia\) — high reporting standard.

Why it applies: reporting\_standards includes jorc

**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

## 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.
