## Minestarters Atlas summary

Velox Energy Materials has defined a new exploration target at the Runnymede area of its North Queensland Vanadium Project, adding significant potential tonnage. The company also reported an updated mineral resource estimate for the Cambridge Deposit, consisting of 61.33 Mt Indicated and 144.87 Mt Inferred vanadium resources.

Reasoning: The announcement defines a new exploration target \(Runnymede\) and provides an updated mineral resource estimate for the Cambridge Deposit, demonstrating project scale expansion.

- Positive factor: Significant tonnage increase in exploration targets

- Positive factor: Strong Indicated resource at Cambridge Deposit

- Positive factor: Expansion of exploration inventory

- Negative factor: Exploration targets are conceptual and not yet mineral resources

Facts used in scoring: 4

## Classification and evidence

**Indicated Resource**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Reasonable geological confidence based on adequate drilling; continuity can be assumed. Basis for Probable Reserves.

Why it applies: The Cambridge Deposit contains 61.33 Mt of Indicated vanadium resource.

Evidence · text

> Indicated Mineral Resource of 61.33 Mt @ 0.34% V 2 O 5

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: The Cambridge Deposit contains 144.87 Mt of Inferred vanadium resource.

Evidence · text

> Inferred Mineral Resource of 144.87 Mt @ 0.33% V 2 O 5

**NI 43-101 Compliant**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard.

Why it applies: The resource estimate is prepared by qualified persons as defined by NI 43-101.

Evidence · text

> qualified person as defined by NI 43-101

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

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: Michael Dufresne and Steven Nicholls are named as qualified persons responsible for the estimate.

Evidence · text

> Mr. Mike Dufresne, P.Geol., P.Geo. and Mr. Steven Nicholls, M.AIG... are deemed a qualified person

## 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.
