# Quantum Critical Metals Confirms Gallium & Rubidium are Hosted in Mica at Its Discovery Property, Québec, and Identifies New Beryllium and Cesium Targets Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/quantum-critical-metals-confirms-gallium-rubidium-are-hosted-in-mica-at-its-disc--24d68196-8364-4623-9e5d-db1456f9b2a4 Original source: https://www.juniorminingnetwork.com/junior-miner-news/press-releases/2619-tsx-venture/leap/211988-quantum-critical-metals-confirms-gallium-rubidium-are-hosted-in-mica-at-its-discovery-property-quebec-and-identifies-new-beryllium-and-cesium-targets.html Publisher: jmn Original announcement: 2026-09-29T04:07:26.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-09-29T15:40:47.616Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-09-29T15:40:47.616Z - Company: Quantum Critical Metals Corp. - Ticker: LEAP - Exchange: TSXV - Region: Québec - Primary commodity: Gallium - Secondary commodities: Rubidium, Beryllium, Cesium - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-29 15:40:48 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Quantum Critical Metals has confirmed that gallium and rubidium at its Discovery Property in Québec are hosted in mica, matching the mineralogy of its flagship NMX East project. The laser mapping also identified potential new beryllium and cesium targets in separate samples. While the mapping provides a clear path for recovery testing, the results await confirmation via certified assays. Reasoning: The mapping confirms the host mineral for gallium and rubidium, de-risking the recovery approach, while identifying two new potential metal targets. - Positive factor: Host mineral \(mica\) identified, providing a clear recovery path - Positive factor: Strong statistical correlation \(R² 0.988\) for rubidium - Positive factor: Identification of new beryllium and cesium targets - Negative factor: Results based on laser mapping, not certified assays - Negative factor: Beryllium and cesium results based on single samples only - Negative factor: Does not indicate size or continuity Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **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: The release mentions that the company will use certified assays and identifies a Qualified Person \(George M. Yordanov, P.Geo\). Evidence · text > The Company will use certified assays and detailed mineral testing to confirm the result **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The results discussed are based on historical core and surface material being re-evaluated via laser mapping. Evidence · text > The nine samples were selected from historical core and surface material ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4.

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.
