# Ophir Metals Samples 14.2% Cs2O and 2.35 g/t Au in Outcrop at Pilipas Property, James Bay, Quebec Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/ophir-metals-samples-14-2-cs2o-and-2-35-g-t-au-in-outcrop-at-pilipas-property-ja--c53b3bf9-62ef-4636-b87b-14d007d519f8 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/OPHR/news/7983030986535905/ophir-metals-samples-14-2-cs2o-and-2-35-g-t-au-in-outcrop-at-pilipas-property-ja Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2024-10-10T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Ophir Metals Corp. - Ticker: OPHR - Exchange: TSX - Region: Quebec - Primary commodity: Lithium - Secondary commodities: Cesium, Gold, Molybdenum - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-08-26 03:13:56 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Ophir Metals reported high-grade surface grab samples from the Pilipas Property, including 14.2% Cs2O and 0.71% Li2O at the HW3 Pegmatite. The results also highlighted gold \(up to 2.35 g/t\) and molybdenum in separate pegmatite outcrops, demonstrating multi-commodity LCT-type potential. Reasoning: Discovery of high-grade cesium oxide \(14.2%\) in an LCT-type pegmatite setting, alongside lithium and gold, significantly expands the project's resource potential. - Positive factor: exceptional cesium oxide grade - Positive factor: multi-commodity potential \(Li-Cs-Au\) - Positive factor: proximity to infrastructure - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols disclosed - Negative factor: surface grab samples are selective and not fully representative Facts used in scoring: 6 ## 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 details insertion of certified reference materials and blanks at 5% rates. Evidence · text > A Quality Assurance/Quality Control protocol was incorporated into the program and included the insertion of certified reference material at and silica blanks at a rate of approximately 5 % and 5 %, respectively. **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 14.2% Cs2O is an exceptionally high grade for cesium oxide. Evidence · text > 14.2% cesium oxide \(Cs 2 O\) returned in grab sample of pegmatite outcrop ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6.
