## Minestarters Atlas summary

VanadiumCorp announced the publication of a peer-reviewed paper in the journal 'Minerals' detailing research conducted with Université de Sherbrooke on the Lac Doré project. The study focuses on the effects of mechanical activation \(milling\) on the mineralogical properties of vanadiferous titanomagnetite.

Reasoning: The announcement reports the publication of peer-reviewed research regarding the microstructural behavior of the project's ore, which is a technical milestone but does not provide new assay or recovery data.

- Positive factor: Peer-reviewed scientific validation of mineralogical research

- Positive factor: Ongoing technical collaboration with a respected university

- Positive factor: Advances technical understanding of processing potential

- Negative factor: Laboratory-scale research only

- Negative factor: Does not establish economic viability or recovery rates

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

**Bench Scale Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Only preliminary bench tests completed — no locked-cycle or pilot work.

Why it applies: The company explicitly cautions that the study constitutes laboratory-scale scientific research.

Evidence · text

> the study constitutes laboratory-scale scientific research and does not represent a feasibility study

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience.

Why it applies: André Gauthier, P.Geo., P.Eng., has reviewed and approved the technical information.

Evidence · text

> reviewed and approved by André Gauthier, P.Geo., P.Eng., M.Sc.A., a director of VanadiumCorp Resources Inc. and a Qualified Person

**Mill Route**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\).

Why it applies: the document describes a flotation route \("concentrate"\)

**Single Domain Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Testing limited to one composite or domain — representativeness not established.

Why it applies: only one composite was tested

## 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.
