The program targets resource growth and new discoveries across four priority areas, including the Chinchillones and Chita South Porphyry deposits. Reasoning: The announcement details a substantial 10,500m drilling program aimed at expanding a large existing resource base and testing new targets in a polymetallic system. - Positive factor: Large scale drilling program \(10,500m\) - Positive factor: Significant existing resource base \(1.2B tonnes\) - Positive factor: High-grade historical intercepts cited - Positive factor: Clear exploration targets \(Chinchillones, Placetas, PSU, Pinto\) - Negative factor: Program is for expansion/testing rather than immediate production Facts used in scoring: 25 ## 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 details specific QA/QC protocols including ALS laboratory, field duplicates, standards, and blanks. Evidence · text > Field duplicates, standards and blanks are included with all sample shipments **NI 43-101 Compliant** Polarity: positive Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard. Why it applies: Resource delineation is stated as NI 43-101-compliant. Evidence · text > follows the NI 43-101-compliant resource delineation **Inferred Resource** Polarity: negative Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone. Why it applies: A significant portion of the project resource is in the Inferred category. Evidence · text > 955 million tonnes of Inferred Mineral Resources ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 25. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (25) ### CHDH23-69 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/minsud-announces-10-500-metre-drill-program-targeting-resource-growth-and-new-di--fc9c5bcd-7f5f-413b-9146-e7f99269509f#fact-drill-facts-0) Chita Valley · copper Historical result Needs review: historical\_restatement #### Identity - Hole ID: CHDH23-69 - Project: Chita Valley - Commodity: copper - Region: argentina - Reported Region: San Juan, Argentina - Ticker: MSR #### Geometry - Grade: 0.43 - Grade Unit: % - Intercept: 786 m - From: 456 m - To: 1242 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill #### Review - Needs Review: Yes - Review Reason: historical\_restatement - Interp.

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.
