The announcement also references previously reported gallium and rare earth mineralization at the Cruzeta and Boa Vista discoveries. Reasoning: The document is primarily a corporate announcement regarding a marketing agreement, using previously reported drill results as context rather than providing new assay data. - Positive factor: digital marketing agreement to expand investor reach - Positive factor: consistent mineralization reported in all 33 drill holes - Negative factor: stale data re-release of August 27 results - Negative factor: marketing expense of US$300,000 Facts used in scoring: 1 ## Classification and evidence **Stale Data Re-release** Polarity: negative Definition: Historical results re-announced with no new assays or reinterpretation — low genuine novelty. Why it applies: The gallium assay for ARA-RC-007 is a restatement of results from the August 27, 2026 news release. Evidence · text > In its August 27, 2026 news release, Spark reported a project-record individual gallium assay of 114.3 g/t gallium oxide \(Ga2O3\) over 2 metres from surface in hole ARA-RC-007 **Mill Route** Polarity: neutral Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\). Why it applies: the document describes a mill\_cil route \("CIP"\) ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 1. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (1) ### ARA-RC-007 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/spark-announces-digital-marketing-agreement-following-two-distinct-gallium-rare--311a3f11-5ef9-4301-9950-c5b6c8677c15#fact-drill-facts-0) Arapaima · gallium Historical result Needs review: historical\_restatement #### Identity - Hole ID: ARA-RC-007 - Project: Arapaima - Commodity: gallium - Region: brazil - Reported Region: brazil - Ticker: SPRK.CN #### Geometry - Grade: 114.3 - Grade Unit: g/t - Intercept: 2 m - From: 0 m - To: 2 m - Intercept Depth: 0 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: ARA-RC-007:0-2 #### QA/QC - QA/QC Disclosed: Yes - QP Signed: Yes - QA/QC Methods: standards #### Review - Needs Review: Yes - Review Reason: historical\_restatement - Interp.

Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is 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 **Stale Data Re-release** Polarity: negative Definition: Historical results re-announced with no new assays or reinterpretation — low genuine novelty. Why it applies: the fact restates a prior release **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: proximity is offered as the value premise: "In its August 27, 2026 news release, Spark reported a project-record individual gallium assay of 114.3 g/t gallium oxide" ## 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.
