## Minestarters Atlas summary

Strategic Metals has identified eight stacked skarn horizons at the Harry Project in Yukon through mapping and surface geochemistry. The results show a tungsten-tin-molybdenum signature and a large molybdenum soil anomaly, pointing toward a suspected buried porphyry target.

Reasoning: The release reports surface geochemistry and chip sampling results that outline a significant skarn system and a large molybdenum anomaly, suggesting a porphyry target, but lacks drill-confirmed intercepts.

- Positive factor: Identification of eight stacked skarn horizons

- Positive factor: Strong 1,200 m x 700 m molybdenum soil anomaly

- Positive factor: Geochemical zoning consistent with intrusion-related skarn system

- Positive factor: Presence of high-temperature tungsten-tin-molybdenum signature

- Negative factor: Results are based on continuous chip samples \(surface\) rather than drill intercepts

- Negative factor: Skarn thicknesses have not yet been confirmed by drilling

- Negative factor: True widths are only estimated from surface exposures

Facts used in scoring: 11

## Classification and evidence

**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: Results are based on continuous chip samples \(surface\) and thicknesses have not been confirmed by drilling.

Evidence · text

> Skarn thicknesses have not yet been confirmed by drilling and true widths are estimated from surface exposures

**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: The release does not explicitly detail QA/QC protocols for the chip sampling, although it names the laboratory.

Evidence · text

> Analytical work at Harry was performed by ALS Minerals

## 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.
