## Minestarters Atlas summary

Starr Peak Mining has reported significant drill results from its 2021 campaign at the NewMétal property in Quebec. Highlights include a 13.45m intercept at 6.65% ZnEq in the Upper Zone and a 10.1m intercept at 6.16% ZnEq in the Deep Zone, both demonstrating high-grade VMS mineralization.

Reasoning: Strong VMS drill results showing high-grade zinc-equivalent and copper intercepts extending known zones, supported by clear QA/QC disclosure.

- Positive factor: high-grade zinc-equivalent intercepts

- Positive factor: copper-rich sub-intercepts

- Positive factor: extension of known zones

- Positive factor: QA/QC protocols disclosed

- Negative factor: true width unknown

Facts used in scoring: 3

## 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: Release details insertion of blanks, standards, and duplicates and mentions ALS Canada Ltd.

Evidence · text

> The quality assurance and quality control protocol include insertion of one blank, one standard and one duplicate every 25 samples

**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 true width of mineralization is currently unknown for the reported intervals.

Evidence · text

> True width of mineralization is currently unknown.

## 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.
