## Minestarters Atlas summary

Tactical Resources Corp. has provided an update on its Peak Project in Texas, highlighting preliminary metallurgical extraction results for rare earth elements and yttrium from stockpiled fines. While extraction rates reached up to 96.1% under specific heated acid conditions, the company noted these are scoping-scale results and no formal mineral resource has been estimated.

Reasoning: The release provides preliminary metallurgical extraction results for a unique stockpiled feedstock, though it lacks formal resource estimation and commercial-scale validation.

- Positive factor: High extraction potential under heated acid conditions

- Positive factor: Heavy rare earth enrichment profile

- Positive factor: Feedstock material is already processed/stockpiled

- Negative factor: Scoping-scale results only

- Negative factor: No mineral resource or reserve estimated

- Negative factor: Material variability and commercial scale not established

Facts used in scoring: 3

## Classification and evidence

**Bench Scale Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Only preliminary bench tests completed — no locked-cycle or pilot work.

Why it applies: The metallurgical results are described as scoping-scale results from composite samples and do not establish commercial-scale recovery.

Evidence · text

> The Company is explicit that these were scoping-scale results from composite samples that do not establish commercial-scale recovery

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: The release mentions that independent samples were collected by a Qualified Person and names the metallurgical laboratory.

Evidence · text

> comparable profile returned by independent samples collected by the Qualified Person

**Multi-Domain Tested**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Variability across ore domains \(oxide, transition, fresh\) has been addressed.

Why it applies: 3 distinct composites were tested

## 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.
