Intercepts include 2.4m at 5.37% Cu and 3.83g/t Au \(9.07% CuEq\) in hole 26MCDD043, confirming VHMS-style mineralization and providing data for an upcoming Mineral Resource update. The program also encountered historic underground workings, leading to the abandonment of two holes, but mineralization remains open at depth in one instance. Reasoning: The announcement reports multiple high-grade copper-gold intercepts, including bonanza grades for copper, from drilling beneath the Mt Chalmers pit. These results confirm the VHMS style mineralization, provide data for an upcoming resource update, and support metallurgical testwork. While true widths are unknown and some holes were abandoned, the overall results are positive for the project's potential. - Positive factor: High-grade copper and gold intercepts, including bonanza grades for copper, were returned from multiple holes. - Positive factor: Results confirm and extend high-grade VHMS mineralization beneath the existing Mt Chalmers pit lake. - Positive factor: The drilling provides critical data for an upcoming Mineral Resource update, de-risking the grade model. - Positive factor: Fresh core from drilling supports ongoing geometallurgical testwork. - Positive factor: Mineralization remains open below one of the abandoned holes, indicating further potential. - Positive factor: Detailed QA/QC procedures are disclosed, enhancing confidence in the results. - Negative factor: True widths of mineralization are not yet known, which may overstate apparent lengths. - Negative factor: Two holes were abandoned due to mechanical issues or historic underground workings, limiting their full extent. - Negative factor: Core loss was recorded in a high-grade interval of 26MCDD043, potentially affecting representativeness. - Negative factor: Continuity between the high-grade intercepts in 26MCDD043 and 26MCDD047 remains to be established.

Evidence · text > QMines' QAQC program included certified reference materials, coarse blanks and quarter-core field duplicates inserted into the sample stream at routine intervals. **Compositing Transparent** — Rejected; excluded from scoring Polarity: positive Definition: Cut-off grade and internal dilution rules are clearly stated for reported intervals. Reason: Cut-off grade \(1.0% Zn\) and internal dilution rules \(maximum 2m\) are clearly stated for reported intervals. Evidence · text > \(Zn\) denotes intervals at a 1.0% Zn lower cut off and \(Au\) intervals at a 0.2g/t Au lower cut off, both with a maximum of 2m internal dilution. ### 26MCDD047 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/qml-further-high-grade-copper-gold-beneath-mt-chalmers-pit--8cadd61d-180f-433f-8292-d9e14a06c210#fact-drill-facts-51) Mt Chalmers · copper #### Identity - Hole ID: 26MCDD047 - Project: Mt Chalmers - Commodity: copper - Region: australia\_qld - Reported Region: australia\_qld - Ticker: QML #### Geometry - Grade: 1.8 - Grade Unit: % - Intercept: 7.6 m - From: 42.1 m - To: 49.7 m #### Classification - Deposit Type: vms - Sample Type: drill #### QA/QC - Laboratory: ALS Laboratories - QA/QC Disclosed: Yes - QP Signed: Yes - QA/QC Methods: standards, blanks, duplicates #### Compositing - Dilution Disclosed: Yes #### Review - Needs Review: No - Interp. Status: scored - Historical: No #### Dates - Event date: 2026-10-18T00:00:00.000Z Reasoning: This intercept shows a strong copper grade over a significant length, contributing positively to the project's potential, despite some core loss and unknown true width. - Positive factor: Good copper grade for VHMS deposit type \(1.28% Cu is strong against VMS 0.8% moderate threshold\). - Positive factor: Significant intercept length \(26.2m is strong continuity\). - Positive factor: Polymetallic intercept with gold, silver, zinc, and lead credits. - Positive factor: Contributes to geological understanding for upcoming resource update. - Negative factor: True width not known, potentially overstating actual thickness. - Negative factor: Core loss \(67% recovery\) in the upper high-grade interval raises concerns about representativeness.

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.
