## Minestarters Atlas summary

Aeonian Resources has updated its geological model for the Koocanusa Copper-Silver Project, identifying a 50-kilometre corridor containing multiple vertically stacked copper-bearing horizons. Recent drilling at the Jake site confirmed the subsurface continuity of these horizons, which are hosted within the Middle Creston Formation.

Reasoning: The announcement provides a significant geological reinterpretation that expands the project's scale from individual showings to a vertically stacked 50-km system, though specific assay values for the new horizons are not provided.

- Positive factor: identification of multiple stacked copper-bearing horizons

- Positive factor: 50-km scale exploration corridor identified

- Positive factor: structural controls \(faults\) identified as potential pathways

- Positive factor: significant unsampled pipeline \(50 sites\)

- Negative factor: drilling only tested a small portion of the regional system

- Negative factor: grades and thicknesses not specified for the new horizons

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The drilling at Jake is used to reinterpret and expand the understanding of the 50-km western copper trend.

Evidence · text

> The Jake drilling gave us the subsurface information needed to reinterpret the much larger Koocanusa dataset.

**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 a sign-off by a Qualified Person \(Andrew Randell, P.Geo.\).

Evidence · text

> reviewed and approved by Andrew Randell, P.Geo., President and CEO of Aeonian Resources Corp. and a "Qualified Person"

#### Dates

- Event date: 2026-09-11T00:00:00.000Z

Reasoning: The drilling confirmed the existence of two distinct mineralized bands but did not disclose numeric assay values in this release.

- Positive factor: demonstrated subsurface continuity of surface stratigraphic framework

- Negative factor: no specific grades or widths reported for the intersections

Evidence · text

> Drilling encountered two distinct bands of copper mineralization interpreted to represent separate sub-horizons

#### Tags used in scoring

**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: qaqc\_disclosed is not true

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

## 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.
