## Minestarters Atlas summary

NorthWest Copper Corp. reported drill results from the Pit Zone at the Kwanika project in British Columbia, highlighted by a 31.4m intercept of 0.92% Cu and 1.08 g/t Au. The drilling successfully extended mineralization up-dip and east, while reducing drill spacing to approximately 50 metres to support resource upgrading.

Reasoning: The results show strong grade continuity and extension of mineralization in a high-grade zone, supporting the company's objective to upgrade mineral resources.

- Positive factor: Strong copper-gold grades in the high-grade Pit Zone

- Positive factor: Mineralization extended up-dip toward the overburden contact

- Positive factor: Incremental extensions to multiple mineralized trends

- Positive factor: Reduction in drill hole spacing to support resource upgrading

Facts used in scoring: 36

## 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 includes details on QA/QC procedures, including blanks, standards, and certified laboratory \(Actlabs\).

Evidence · text

> an external QA/QC program was implemented using coarse blanks and certified prepared blanks and standards

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Mineralization was extended up-dip toward the overburden contact.

Evidence · text

> Higher-grade mineralization extended approximately 25 to 50 metres up-dip to the overburden contact

## 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.
