## Minestarters Atlas summary

Savannah reported multiple new lithium drill intercepts from Aldeia and Grandao at the Mina do Barroso project in northern Portugal. The highlight is 19ALARC024, which returned 45m at 1.67% Li2O from 89m including 22m at 2.00% Li2O, described as the highest-grade interval reported to date at the project. The release also says the results are being incorporated into a geology model ahead of an updated Mineral Resource estimate.

Reasoning: High-grade lithium drill results from an active exploration/resource-growth program are materially positive, with strong widths and a new best intercept, but geometry is still downhole-apparent and the program remains ongoing.

- Positive factor: Multiple lithium intercepts reported at Aldeia and Grandao, including 45m at 1.67% Li2O from 89m and 22m at 2.00% Li2O in 19ALARC024

- Positive factor: Results are described as the highest-grade ever reported at Mina do Barroso to date

- Positive factor: Intervals are backed by tabled drill results with collar data and a stated 0.5% Li2O cut-off with no more than 2m internal dilution

- Positive factor: QA/QC and Competent Person disclosure are included

- Negative factor: Results are reported as down hole intercepts and the release states true width is not known in the main reporting table

- Negative factor: Further drilling and an updated Mineral Resource estimate are still pending

- Negative factor: Several holes are pending assays

Facts used in scoring: 10

## Classification and evidence

**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 states standards, blanks and duplicates were used and names ALS as the laboratory.

Evidence · text

> Standards/blanks and duplicates we inserted on a 1:20 ratio

**True Width Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length.

Why it applies: The JORC table says the drill holes were oriented to get as close to true width as possible and notes the pegmatite dip.

Evidence · text

> The drill holes are detailed in the table in the main release and the pegmatite at Aldeia appears to dip at around 30degrees

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

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

Why it applies: The release discloses a 0.5% Li2O cut-off for the tables, but the exploration text does not fully define the compositing basis for all reported intervals beyond the table note.

Evidence · text

> using a 0.5% Li2O cut-off

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results.

Why it applies: The release explicitly positions Aldeia as circa 2km south east of the Grandao deposit.

Evidence · text

> circa 2km south east of the Grandao deposit

#### Review

- Needs Review: No
- Interp. Status: scored
- Historical: No

Reasoning: Good-grade shallow lithium intercept that reinforces near-surface mineralization at Grandao.

- Positive factor: Higher grade interval at shallow depth

- Positive factor: Confirms mineralisation near surface

- Negative factor: Shorter width than the headline Aldeia intervals

#### Tags used in scoring

**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: qaqc\_disclosed is true

**Compositing Transparent**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Cut-off grade and internal dilution rules are clearly stated for reported intervals.

Why it applies: cutoff\_grade and internal dilution are both stated

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results.

Why it applies: proximity is offered as the value premise: "Savannah Resources Plc Aldeia Delivers Highest-Grade Lithium Mineralisation to Date Including 22m @ 2% Li20 Mina do Barr"

## 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.
