## Minestarters Atlas summary

Maxus Mining has completed its inaugural 1,413.5-metre diamond drill program at the Alturas West Antimony Project in British Columbia. The program intersected visible antimony-bearing minerals in nine of the eleven holes, including a visually significant locally massive stibnite vein in hole ALTW-26-006. Analytical results from the drill core are currently pending.

Reasoning: The company completed its first drill program, confirming the presence of antimony minerals visually, but lacks quantitative assay data to confirm grades or widths.

- Positive factor: Confirmed visible antimony mineralization in 9 of 11 holes

- Positive factor: Discovery of locally massive stibnite in ALTW-26-006

- Positive factor: First subsurface geological data for the Alps-Alturas shear zone

- Negative factor: Geochemical assays are still pending

- Negative factor: Visual identification is not a substitute for analytical results

Facts used in scoring: 12

## 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 the release mentions QA/QC samples were inserted, specific assay results are pending and no laboratory results or specific methods \(blanks, standards, etc.\) are yet disclosed in this document.

Evidence · text

> Geochemical assays are pending, and visual confirmation of antimony-bearing minerals is not a direct indication of antimony grades

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery.

Why it applies: The program is described as an inaugural drill program testing a structural corridor, which is exploration in nature.

Evidence · text

> completion of its inaugural diamond drill program

## 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.
