## Minestarters Atlas summary

Rathdowney Resources provided an update on Project Olza in Poland, highlighting progress in the mining license application process and the successful completion of geological documentation. The company reported an inferred resource of 24 Mt at 7.02% Zn-Pb and outlined a significant exploration target range of up to 92 Mt.

Reasoning: The company is advancing permitting milestones and reporting a solid inferred resource, though the project remains in the early development/exploration stage with no reserves.

- Positive factor: Successful completion of second phase of geological documentation for mining license

- Positive factor: Strong NPV at 5% discount rate

- Positive factor: High-grade inferred resource reported

- Positive factor: Significant exploration target range identified

- Negative factor: Resource is 100% Inferred

- Negative factor: Exploration target is conceptual and not a mineral resource

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: The reported 24 Mt resource is explicitly categorized as Inferred.

Evidence · text

> Current inferred resources \(in the 30% area described above\) are 24 million tonnes at a grade of 7.02% \(zinc plus lead\)

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience.

Why it applies: Technical disclosure reviewed and approved by Qualified Person David Copeland, PEng.

Evidence · text

> The technical disclosure in this release has been reviewed and approved by Qualified Person \("QP"\) David Copeland , PEng

## 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.
