## Minestarters Atlas summary

QMC is conducting a two-phase diamond drilling program at the Irgon Lithium Mine Project in Manitoba to confirm and expand a historic lithium resource. Phase One involves 12 holes, with the company planning an updated NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource estimate following the results.

Reasoning: The company is executing a drill program to confirm and expand a historic lithium resource, with visual spodumene already observed.

- Positive factor: visual spodumene reported on-site

- Positive factor: drilling program designed to expand historic resource

- Positive factor: upcoming NI 43-101 compliant resource update

- Negative factor: current drilling results not yet assayed

- Negative factor: reliance on historical 1950s data for context

Facts used in scoring: 3

## Classification and evidence

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

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

Why it applies: The document discusses a historic resource and the intent to produce an updated NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource.

Evidence · text

> produce an updated NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource

**Historical Estimate Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Estimate pre-dates or does not comply with current JORC/NI 43-101 standards — requires verification drilling.

Why it applies: The primary resource data mentioned is from 1953-1954 and does not meet current NI 43-101 standards.

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.

## 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.
