## Minestarters Atlas summary

QMC has identified significant visual spodumene mineralization in pegmatite dikes extending up to 400 meters west of the Irgon Shaft. This discovery suggests the Irgon Dike strike length could double to 800 meters, providing potential for significant expansion of the historical lithium resource.

Reasoning: The identification of visual spodumene 400m west of the Irgon Shaft suggests a significant strike length extension, potentially doubling the known extent of the dike.

- Positive factor: strike length extension

- Positive factor: visual spodumene mineralization

- Positive factor: potential for resource expansion

- Negative factor: historical resource reliance

- Negative factor: non-compliant with NI 43-101

Facts used in scoring: 3

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Visual spodumene identified 400m west of the Irgon Shaft suggests strike extension.

Evidence · text

> directly on strike with and as far as 400 meters west of the Irgon Shaft

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: The company is referencing a historical estimate that lacks modern geological confidence.

Evidence · text

> This historical estimate is believed to be based on reasonable assumptions, and neither the Company nor the QP has any reason to contest the document's relevance and reliability.

**No QA/QC Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Story-specific tag

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: The historical resource and metallurgical results lack modern QA/QC or NI 43-101 compliance.

Evidence · text

> These historical estimates do not meet current standards as defined under sections 1.2 and 1.3 of NI 43-101

## 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.
