## Minestarters Atlas summary

EuroPacific Metals has completed the first two holes of its 2024 exploration program at the Miguel Vacas mine in Portugal. The drilling identified a 28m wide breccia/shear zone and an 18m wide mineralized zone that extends the known footprint to the north.

Reasoning: The announcement reports the discovery of a new mineralized zone and potential northern extension, but lacks specific assay grades to confirm economic viability.

- Positive factor: extension of mineralized zone

- Positive factor: newly identified mineralized zone

- Negative factor: no assay grades reported

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The second hole revealed a mineralized zone not previously identified, opening potential for extension to the North.

Evidence · text

> revealed an 18-meter wide mineralized zone not previously identified by drilling, confirming the presence of a NW-SE fault and opening new potential for extension to the North

**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: The release does not mention any QA/QC protocols, lab certification, or Qualified Person sign-off.

Evidence · text

> The ongoing progress includes the drilling of the third hole and dispatching core samples for assays

## 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.
