## Minestarters Atlas summary

Allied Critical Metals reported 2026 infill drilling results from the Santa Helena Breccia at the Borralha Project, featuring broad tungsten intercepts with internal higher-grade zones. The results reinforce the existing geological model and support ongoing resource conversion and technical de-risking for the project's advancement toward feasibility.

Reasoning: Infill drilling at Santa Helena Breccia confirms the geological model and provides broad tungsten intercepts with internal high-grade zones, supporting the transition from PEA to feasibility.

- Positive factor: broad mineralization continuity

- Positive factor: internal higher-grade zones

- Positive factor: supports resource conversion

- Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed

## 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.
