## Minestarters Atlas summary

Scandium Canada Ltd. announced significant assay results from its 2026 Crater Lake scandium project in Nunavik, Québec, including the best intercept to date of 140.15 metres at 293 ppm Sc2O3, with a high-grade section of 0.95 metres at 1,033.85 ppm. The program has now returned three intersections over 100 metres, confirming mineralization consistent with the current resource estimate and extending the deposit along strike. All reported holes hit scandium mineralization, and the company expects to complete the drilling campaign by mid-October 2026.

Reasoning: The drill results from the 2026 Crater Lake program are highly positive, featuring the longest and highest-grade scandium intercept to date, along with multiple other long intersections. The consistency of grades with the existing resource estimate and the extension of mineralization along strike significantly de-risk the project and indicate strong potential for resource growth. Robust QA/QC and QP sign-off further bolster confidence, though the lack of true width information is a minor drawback.

- Positive factor: Best intercept of the program to date, including high-grade sections.

- Positive factor: Multiple long intercepts \(over 100m\) confirm significant mineralization continuity.

- Positive factor: Grades are consistent with the current resource estimate, validating the geological model.

- Positive factor: Drilling has extended mineralization to the North and South, indicating potential for resource growth.

- Positive factor: Comprehensive QA/QC procedures and QP sign-off enhance data reliability.

- Negative factor: True width of intercepts remains undetermined, potentially overstating actual thickness.

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm.

Why it applies: The intercept in CLB-26-076 of 0.95 m at 1,033.85 ppm Sc2O3 and 29.8 m at 511.63 ppm Sc2O3 are exceptionally high grades for scandium, well above the strong threshold of 250 ppm Sc2O3.

Evidence · table

> 1,033.85

Context: 0.95

**Apparent Width Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness.

Why it applies: The document explicitly states that 'Downhole drill core length represents a reported down hole drill significant intercept and not a calculated true thickness interval of a mineralized zone. The True thickness of the zones remains to be determined'.

Evidence · text

> Downhole drill core length represents a reported down hole drill significant intercept and not a calculated true thickness interval of a mineralized zone. The True thickness of the zones remains to be determined

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The drilling program confirmed the presence of favourable scandium bearing lithologies at the North and South lateral extensions of the TG deposit, potentially extending the mineralized zones by 245 metres, and 5 exploration holes confirmed mineralization to the North and South of the TG deposit.

**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 details strict QA/QC procedures compliant with NI 43-101, including the insertion of certified reference materials \(standards\), duplicates, and blanks, with sample preparation and analysis carried out by Activation Laboratories Ltd.

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: The assay results reported come from 9 bulk sample drill holes located along the TG deposit, as delineated in the mineral resource estimate \(MRE 2025\), indicating infill drilling for bulk sample collection.

> The assay results reported come from 9 bulk sample drill holes located along the TG deposit, as delineated in the mineral resource estimate \(MRE 2025\) dated May 2, 2025.

**Resource-Aligned Grades**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: No canonical definition is currently available.

Why it applies: All 12 holes reported to date hit scandium mineralization, at grades in line with the current resource estimate, indicating the deposit is delivering what the model predicted.

## 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.
