# ARRAS MINERALS DRILLS 276 METERS GRADING 0.58% CUEQ INCLUDING 104 METRES GRADING 1.14% CUEQ STARTING AT SURFACE ON BEREZSKI NORTH TARGET & ANNOUNCES CHANGES TO BOARD OF DIRECTORS Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/arras-minerals-drills-276-meters-grading-0-58-cueq-including-104-metres-grading--39d27fad-3a06-408b-81ae-e2a7429522a2 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/ARK/news/5614071085886169/arras-minerals-drills-276-meters-grading-0-58-cueq-including-104-metres-grading- Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2025-09-08T10:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Arras Minerals Corp. - Ticker: ARK - Exchange: TSX - Region: Northeast Kazakhstan - Primary commodity: Copper - Secondary commodities: Gold, Silver, Molybdenum - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-17 11:33:12 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.70 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Arras Minerals reported significant drill results from hole EL25016 at the Elemes Project in Kazakhstan, intersecting 276m at 0.58% CuEq, including a high-grade 52m interval at 1.64% CuEq starting at 48m depth. The results demonstrate mineralization starting at surface and extend the known mineralized zone at the Berezski North target. The company also announced changes to its Board of Directors. Reasoning: Strong drill results from EL25016 showing high-grade CuEq intercepts from surface, extending the known mineralized footprint at Berezski North. - Positive factor: High-grade copper-gold mineralization starting at surface - Positive factor: Significant width \(276m\) of mineralization - Positive factor: Extension of known mineralization outside previous high-grade breccia zones - Positive factor: Definition of a 600m trending zone Facts used in scoring: 10 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The hole intersected mineralization outside the high-grade breccia zone of earlier holes EL24005 and EL25014A, defining a 600m trending zone. Evidence · text > this hole shows very good grades and widths right from surface outside of the breccia zone that carried much of the higher-grade intercepts in the earlier two holes **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 \(Matthew Booth\) and mentions the technical disclosure was prepared under his supervision. Evidence · text > The scientific and technical disclosure for this news release has been prepared under supervision of and approved by Matthew Booth, Vice President of Exploration, of Arras Minerals Corp., a Qualified Person **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 document explicitly states that all intervals are presented as core lengths and true thicknesses are currently unknown. Evidence · text > All intervals are presented as core lengths as the true thicknesses of mineralization is currently unknown. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 10.

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.
