## Minestarters Atlas summary

American Critical Minerals has completed drilling at the Duma Point AP-S-02 well within its Green River Project in Utah. The company confirmed the presence of sylvite mineralization in the Cycle 5 potash bed via visual logging and geophysical correlation, and has collected brine samples from the Paradox and Leadville formations for lithium and bromine analysis.

Reasoning: The company successfully completed its first drill hole, confirming the presence of potash mineralization via visual logging and geophysical correlation, and has collected brine samples for lithium/bromine testing.

- Positive factor: Successful completion of inaugural drill program

- Positive factor: Visual confirmation of sylvite mineralization in Cycle 5 potash bed

- Positive factor: Successful brine sampling from Paradox and Leadville formations

- Positive factor: Geophysical logs correlate with historical high-grade data

- Negative factor: No assay results yet for the current well \(samples pending lab analysis\)

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: The project is contiguous to Anson Resources' Green River Lithium Project.

Evidence · text

> near Anson Resources' Green River Lithium Project

**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 names a Qualified Person \(Dean Besserer, P.Geo\) and mentions submitting samples to specific laboratories.

Evidence · text

> reviewed and approved by Dean Besserer, P.Geo., the Chief Operations Officer of the Company and a qualified person

#### Dates

- Event date: 2026-09-22T00:00:00.000Z

Reasoning: The document uses historical data from the Quintana Fed 1-1 well to validate the current well's geophysical response.

- Positive factor: Confirms historical grade via geophysical correlation

- Negative factor: This is a historical reference to the Quintana Fed 1-1 well, not new assay from AP-S-02

Evidence · text

> The Quintana Fed 1-1 well intersected the Cycle 5 potash bed reporting a grade of 24.3% eKCl from elogs over a thickness of 5.9m

#### 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

**Stale Data Re-release**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Historical results re-announced with no new assays or reinterpretation — low genuine novelty.

Why it applies: the fact restates a prior release

## 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.
