While formal assays are pending, portable XRF measurements in drill hole CUP004 showed copper values up to 2.9% in veinlets, indicating a transition into a mineralized domain. Reasoning: The company has identified a new porphyry system with encouraging geological indicators and high-grade XRF readings, though formal assay results are pending. - Positive factor: Identification of a new porphyry copper system - Positive factor: Presence of an extensive lithocap and geophysical anomalies - Positive factor: High-grade XRF readings in breccia zones - Positive factor: Transition from lithocap to mineralized domain observed - Negative factor: Assays are still pending; current grades are only XRF point-source measurements - Negative factor: XRF results are not representative of the overall intercept Facts used in scoring: 3 ## 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 mentions systematic insertion of certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates, and uses an independent certified laboratory. Evidence · text > Industry-standard QA/QC procedures are implemented throughout the sampling and analytical process, including the systematic insertion of certified reference materials, blanks and duplicate samples **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: Not applicable as QA/QC is disclosed. Evidence · text > Industry-standard QA/QC procedures are implemented ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (3) ### CUP004 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/nobel-identifies-new-mineralized-porphyry-copper-system-cuprita-project-chile--b975f25d-2ae4-4622-bd86-37cb2a6161cd#fact-drill-facts-0) Cuprita · copper #### Identity - Hole ID: CUP004 - Project: Cuprita - Commodity: copper - Region: chile - Reported Region: northern Chile - Ticker: NBLC #### Geometry - Grade: 1700 - Grade Unit: ppm - From: 218 m - To: 285.5 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: CUP004:218.0-285.5 #### Review - Needs Review: No - 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.
