# Stillwater Critical Minerals Reports Wide and High-Grade Near-Surface Ni-Cu-Co-PGE-Au Sulphide Mineralization Extending CZ Deposit at Stillwater West Project in Montana, USA Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/stillwater-critical-minerals-reports-wide-and-high-grade-near-surface-ni-cu-co-p--57832e29-2167-4d68-b855-e3b9f92583c9 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/PGE/news/5959815234602110/stillwater-critical-minerals-reports-wide-and-high-grade-near-surface-ni-cu-co-p Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-02-26T12:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Stillwater Critical Minerals Corp. - Ticker: PGE - Exchange: TSX - Region: Montana, USA - Primary commodity: Nickel - Secondary commodities: Copper, Cobalt, Platinum, Palladium, Gold - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-08-21 01:50:07 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Stillwater Critical Minerals reported high-grade Ni-Cu-Co-PGE-Au sulphide mineralization from its 2025 drill campaign at the Stillwater West project in Montana. The results from holes CZ2025-01 and CZ2025-02 confirm the extension of the CZ deposit and demonstrate significant potential for resource expansion. Reasoning: The drill results demonstrate significant strike extension of the CZ deposit with high-grade Ni-PGE-Cu-Co intercepts that exceed previous resource boundaries. - Positive factor: Step-Out Extension - Positive factor: High-grade intercepts - Positive factor: Continuity of mineralization Facts used in scoring: 8 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Results extend known mineralization toward the Central and HGR deposits, confirming strike continuity. Evidence · text > Results extend known mineralization toward the Central and HGR deposits, confirming strike continuity **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 mentions NiEq calculations based on specific metal prices and assumed recoveries. Evidence · text > NiEq is determined as follows: NiEq% = \[Ni% x recovery\] + \[Cu% x recovery x Cu price/ Ni price\]... ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 8.

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.
