# Almadex Intersects Copper Mineralisation, Expands IP Anomaly at New Hope And Provides Exploration Update Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/almadex-intersects-copper-mineralisation-expands-ip-anomaly-at-new-hope-and-prov--68a8be81-b549-4fec-a8b3-816d2e09934a Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/DEX/news/8833710419126125/almadex-intersects-copper-mineralisation-expands-ip-anomaly-at-new-hope-and-prov Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-06-30T11:30:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Almadex Minerals Ltd. - Ticker: DEX - Exchange: TSX - Region: Arizona, USA - Primary commodity: Copper - Secondary commodities: Molybdenum, Gold - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-15 18:43:01 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.40 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Almadex Minerals has received final assays from the second hole of its first-pass drilling program at the New Hope copper-gold porphyry project in Arizona. The results confirm a large alteration system with trace copper and molybdenum, while IP geophysics has extended the known geophysical anomaly to the east. Reasoning: First-pass drilling confirms a large copper-bearing porphyry alteration system and expands the geophysical anomaly, though grades remain at trace levels. - Positive factor: Presence of copper mineralisation confirmed - Positive factor: Expansion of IP geophysical anomaly to the east - Positive factor: Large porphyry alteration system identified - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols disclosed - Negative factor: Grades are relatively low \(trace chalcopyrite\) - Negative factor: True widths not possible to calculate due to complex geology Facts used in scoring: 6 ## 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: Release mentions blanks, field duplicates, and certified standards were used. Evidence · text > Blanks, field duplicates and certified standards were inserted into the sample stream **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: The company explicitly states that true widths are not possible to calculate at this time. Evidence · text > True widths are not possible to calculate at this time for the drill intercepts described ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (6) ### Hole 2 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/almadex-intersects-copper-mineralisation-expands-ip-anomaly-at-new-hope-and-prov--68a8be81-b549-4fec-a8b3-816d2e09934a#fact-drill-facts-0) New Hope · copper #### Identity - Hole ID: Hole 2 - Project: New Hope - Commodity: copper - Region: usa\_az - Reported Region: usa\_az - Ticker: DEX #### Geometry - Grade: 0.15 - Grade Unit: % - Intercept: 6 m - From: 498 m - To: 504 m - Intercept Depth: 498 m #### Classification - Deposit Type: porphyry - Program: exploration - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: Hole 2:498-504 - Mining Method: open\_pit #### Location - Loc.

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.
