## Minestarters Atlas summary

Nine Mile Metals has completed drill hole WD-26-02 at the Wedge Mine, intersecting 234.15 meters of visible copper-bearing VMS mineralization. The hole identified two distinct mineralized horizons, representing a potential new discovery at the project.

Reasoning: The announcement reports a significant 234.15m intercept of visible copper mineralization and a new VMS horizon, but lacks specific assay grades to confirm economic grade.

- Positive factor: discovery of new VMS horizon

- Positive factor: significant intercept width

- Negative factor: no assay grades reported

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The company describes the discovery of a 'new copper rich VMS horizon'.

Evidence · text

> Discovers a New Copper Rich VMS Horizon

**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 mentions logging and measurement but provides no details on assaying, lab certification, or QA/QC protocols.

Evidence · text

> DDH WD-26-02 has been completed, logged, measured and zones of mineralization have been identified.

## 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.
