## Minestarters Atlas summary

Refined Energy completed its Winter 2026 drill program at the Dufferin West property, successfully intersecting the Athabasca unconformity in two of the three holes. While the program identified uranium enrichment and weakly anomalous values up to 5 ppm, no significant high-grade intercepts were reported.

Reasoning: The program successfully intersected the target unconformity and identified uranium enrichment, but the grades reported \(5 ppm\) are only weakly anomalous for the Athabasca Basin.

- Positive factor: successful intersection of unconformity

- Positive factor: uranium enrichment identified

- Positive factor: weakly anomalous uranium values

- Negative factor: grades are only weakly anomalous

- Negative factor: one hole terminated early

Facts used in scoring: 1

## 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 samples were submitted to ALS Canada Ltd. and refers to the company's technical report for QA/QC processes.

Evidence · text

> 87 samples from DW26-001 and DW26-003 were submitted to ALS Canada Ltd. for geochemical analyses.

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery.

Why it applies: The program is described as testing targets identified through geophysical surveys, which is characteristic of exploration/infill work.

Evidence · text

> The 2026 drill program tested targets identified through the interpretation of electromagnetic, gravity and magnetic geophysical surveys.

## 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.
