## Minestarters Atlas summary

West Cobar Metals announced an exploration update, detailing plans for its first dedicated scandium drilling program at the Salazar Critical Minerals Project in Western Australia, set to commence in October 2026. This program will involve closer-spaced drilling to test for higher-grade scandium zones. Separately, the company reported that 15 air core drill holes at the Blind Freddie Prospect in NSW returned no significant assay results for copper or zinc, failing to confirm previous surface anomalies.

Reasoning: West Cobar Metals announced plans for a dedicated scandium drilling program at Salazar, which is a positive step, but this was offset by negative drill results from the Blind Freddie Prospect where no significant mineralization was intersected.

- Positive factor: planned drilling program approved for scandium

- Positive factor: closer spaced drilling planned for Salazar

- Negative factor: no significant assay results from Blind Freddie drilling

- Negative factor: surface anomalies not confirmed by drilling

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

Facts used in scoring: 31

## Classification and evidence

**No Significant Results**

Polarity: negative

Story-specific tag

Definition: No canonical definition is currently available.

Why it applies: Drilling at Blind Freddie Prospect returned no significant assay results for copper or zinc.

Evidence · text

> Blind Freddie air core drilling completed \(NSW\): 15 holes for 801m returned with no significant assay results

**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 includes QA/QC disclosure, mentioning ALS as the laboratory and the insertion of CRM, blank, and duplicate samples.

Evidence · text

> AC samples analysed at ALS by method Au-ICP21 and in addition, selected samples by ME-MS61 \(4 acid digest and 48 elements\). CRM, blank and duplicate were inserted at regular intervals in the sample stream.

**JORC Compliant**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with JORC Code \(Australia\) — high reporting standard.

Why it applies: The exploration results are reported in compliance with the JORC Code, 2012 Edition, and signed off by a Competent Person.

Evidence · text

> Mr Pascoe consents to the inclusion in this announcement of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears. Appendix 1: JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1

**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: Mr David Pascoe, Head of Technical and Exploration, is named as the Competent Person responsible for the exploration information.

Evidence · text

> Mr David Pascoe, who is Head of Technical and Exploration of West Cobar Metals Limited and a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Pascoe has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’.

## 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.
