## Minestarters Atlas summary

NexMetals reports visual sulphide mineralization in hole SMD-26-219, extending a high-grade trend at the Selebi Main deposit by approximately 450 metres. The hole intersected thick intervals in both the Main and Lower Zones, with assays currently pending.

Reasoning: The hole extends a known high-grade trend by 450m with thick visual sulphide intercepts, though actual grades are not yet confirmed by assays.

- Positive factor: extension of mineralized trend

- Positive factor: thick massive sulphide intercepts

- Positive factor: step-out success

- Negative factor: assays pending

- Negative factor: visual only

Facts used in scoring: 6

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The hole extends the emerging high-grade mineralized trend by approximately 450 metres beyond previously reported drilling.

Evidence · text

> extending the emerging high-grade mineralized trend by approximately 450 metres beyond previously reported drilling

**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 includes details on laboratory \(ALS\), standards, blanks, and QP sign-off.

Evidence · text

> Sample preparation and lab analysis was completed at ALS Geochemistry

## 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.
