## Minestarters Atlas summary

QIMC has reported a record hydrogen concentration of 23.5% within the first 300 metres of drill hole DDH-26-05. The results include a 54-metre corridor of percent-level hydrogen and observations consistent with free gas at 164 metres.

Reasoning: The discovery of 23.5% hydrogen within the first 300m is a significant high-grade encounter at shallow depth, demonstrating a robust system.

- Positive factor: Record hydrogen concentration

- Positive factor: Shallow depth of encounter

- Positive factor: Sustained corridor of high concentration

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The high-grade hydrogen was encountered in a new drill hole DDH-26-05 within a robust system.

Evidence · text

> Record 23.5% H₂ encountered within only the first 300 metres of ongoing drill hole DDH-26-05

#### Tags used in scoring

**No QA/QC Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document.

Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is not true

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

## 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.
