## Minestarters Atlas summary

Pursuit Minerals reported a high-grade lithium brine intercept of 809mg/L from packer testing in hole DDH-3 at the Mito area of the Rio Grande Sur project in Argentina. This result is significantly higher than the shallower 298.4mg/L intercept from the same hole and exceeds the project's current resource average of 424mg/L.

Reasoning: The 809mg/L lithium intercept is a significant grade increase over the current resource average \(424mg/L\) and provides high-grade evidence in a key growth area \(Mito\).

- Positive factor: High-grade lithium brine intercept \(809mg/L\) significantly exceeds existing resource grades

- Positive factor: Deeper brine sampling suggests potential for resource expansion and grade improvement

- Positive factor: Direct evidence of lithium within a previously identified conductive geophysical system

- Negative factor: Result is a single packer assay, not a resource-scale average

- Negative factor: Continuity of high-grade brine is not yet demonstrated

Facts used in scoring: 4

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The 809mg/L intercept was found in a deeper brine sampling window, potentially extending the high-grade zone deeper.

Evidence · text

> Deeper brine strengthens Mito’s case as a key project growth area

**Mill Route**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\).

Why it applies: the document describes a flotation route \("concentrate"\)

#### Tags used in scoring

**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: qaqc\_disclosed is true

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results.

Why it applies: proximity is offered as the value premise: "Funding US$15m of project expenditure within 24 months would earn Liontown a 49% interest."
