## Minestarters Atlas summary

Power Metallic Mines Inc. has reported a significant drill intercept of 22.00 metres at 11.46% copper equivalent from hole 26-095. This result is noted as the second-best intersection ever recorded at the Lion project.

Reasoning: The intercept of 22.00 m at 11.46% CuEq is exceptionally high-grade and wide, representing a major discovery-style result for the Lion project.

- Positive factor: High-grade copper equivalent intercept

- Positive factor: Significant width

- Positive factor: Second best intersection ever for the project

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: The 11.46% CuEq grade over 22m is exceptionally high for a copper-based project.

Evidence · text

> 11.46% CuEqRec¹

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The headline describes this as a major new intersection in the winter 2026 program.

#### Tags used in scoring

**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: 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

**Metal Equivalent Opaque**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Metal equivalent grade reported without disclosing the price, recovery, or payability assumptions used.

Why it applies: an equivalent grade is reported without its assumptions

## 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.
