This intercept is significantly shallower than the previous record and indicates high-concentration zones continue below 300 metres. Reasoning: The drill hole reported a new company record for hydrogen concentration at a much shallower depth than the previous record, suggesting a high-grade zone that remains open at depth. - Positive factor: New company record grade - Positive factor: Significantly shallower intercept - Positive factor: High concentration zones at depth - Positive factor: Structural permeability indicated by water loss Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The results indicate high-concentration hydrogen zones continue below 300 metres and are open at depth. Evidence · text > double-digit hydrogen still open at depth ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (3) ### DDH-26-05 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/qimc-drills-new-company-record-of-27-8-clean-natural-hydrogen-at-just-374-metres--5ff6f041-823a-4b82-9549-570cc56cdf5d#fact-drill-facts-0) Bennett Hill · hydrogen #### Identity - Hole ID: DDH-26-05 - Project: Bennett Hill - Commodity: hydrogen - Region: canada\_ns - Reported Region: canada\_ns - Ticker: QIMC #### Geometry - Grade: 27.8 - Grade Unit: % - Intercept: 374 m - From: 374 m - To: 748 m - Intercept Depth: 374 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: DDH-26-05:374-748 #### Review - Needs Review: No - Interp.

Why it applies: the fact restates a prior release ## 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.
