# Quantum Critical Metals Confirms Gallium & Rubidium are Hosted in Mica at Its Discovery Property, Qu&\#xE9;bec, 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--abaa6656-f09a-4902-bdf7-60a98b49821c Original source: https://orestocks.com/company/LEAP.V/press-releases/7747268443240389 Publisher: orestocks Original announcement: 2026-09-29T13:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-09-29T14:16:19.751Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-09-29T14:16:19.751Z - Company: Quantum Critical Metals Corp. - Ticker: LEAP.V - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: Québec - Primary commodity: Gallium - Secondary commodities: Rubidium, Beryllium, Cesium - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-29 14:16:20 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.40 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Quantum Critical Metals has used laser mineral mapping to confirm that gallium and rubidium at its Discovery Property in Québec are hosted in mica, aligning with the company's recovery technology used at NMX East. The study also identified potential new beryllium and cesium targets in specific samples, which the company plans to follow up with certified assays. Reasoning: The mapping provides a technical path for recovery by identifying the host mineral \(mica\), though the new beryllium/cesium targets require assay verification. - Positive factor: Mineral mapping confirms gallium and rubidium are hosted in mica, matching the company's existing recovery approach at NMX East - Positive factor: Identification of new beryllium and cesium targets via laser mapping - Positive factor: Historical drill data confirms gallium and rubidium presence - Negative factor: Beryllium and cesium results are based on single samples and lack certified assay confirmation - Negative factor: Laser mapping is not a certified grade assay - Negative factor: Results do not indicate size or continuity of new targets 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 certified assays and a Qualified Person \(George M. Yordanov, P.Geo.\) review. Evidence · text > The scientific and technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by George M. Yordanov, P.Geo. **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: The company uses its experience at NMX East to justify the potential at Discovery. Evidence · text > Because the Company has already developed its approach to recovering gallium and rubidium from mica at NMX East, it can apply that experience directly at Discovery ## 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.
