## Minestarters Atlas summary

Quebec Precious Metals has completed its maiden drilling program at the Ninaaskumuwin lithium discovery in Quebec, intersecting consistent pegmatite widths exceeding 20 metres. The program visually identified spodumene concentrations between 3% and 50%, confirming vertical continuity to 150m depth.

Reasoning: Maiden drilling program successfully intersected consistent +20m thick spodumene-bearing pegmatite, demonstrating significant discovery potential, though formal assay values are still pending.

- Positive factor: maiden drilling program

- Positive factor: consistent +20 m thick intercepts

- Positive factor: visual spodumene 3-50%

- Positive factor: vertical continuity up to 150 m

- Negative factor: assay results pending

Facts used in scoring: 8

## 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: Release mentions regular insertion of CRM standards, duplicates, and blanks.

Evidence · text

> The QAQC program includes regular insertion of CRM standards, duplicates, and blanks

**Maiden Resource**

Polarity: neutral

Story-specific tag

Definition: First formal MRE for the project — establishes baseline but typically exploration-stage with high Inferred component.

Why it applies: This is the first drill program for the Ninaaskumuwin discovery.

Evidence · text

> recently completed the maiden drilling campaign

## 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.
