# ARRAS MINERALS DRILLS 52.4 METERS GRADING 2.11% CUEQ AT THE BEREZSKI NORTH TARGET \(ELEMES PROJECT\) IN KAZAKHSTAN Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/arras-minerals-drills-52-4-meters-grading-2-11-cueq-at-the-berezski-north-target--00198d54-ab3c-4503-81d0-2f5c8b226b2d Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/ARK/news/5521490368931899/arras-minerals-drills-52-4-meters-grading-2-11-cueq-at-the-berezski-north-target Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-03-02T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Arras Minerals Corp. - Ticker: ARK - Exchange: TSX - Region: Kazakhstan - Primary commodity: Copper - Secondary commodities: Gold, Silver, Molybdenum - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-17 11:11:53 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Arras Minerals reported significant drill results from the Elemes Project in Kazakhstan, highlighted by a 52.4m intercept of 2.11% CuEq at the Berezski North target. The results suggest the company is vectoring towards the high-temperature core of a porphyry system, with mineralization also expanding at the Berezski Central target. Reasoning: Strong high-grade intercepts and geological evidence of vectoring towards a porphyry core, despite some technical drilling difficulties. - Positive factor: High-grade CuEq intercept of 2.11% at Berezski North - Positive factor: Vectoring towards high-temperature porphyry core \(potassic alteration\) - Positive factor: Expansion of Berezski Central footprint by 200m northwest - Positive factor: Broad mineralization continuity in multiple directions - Negative factor: Drill holes EL25024, EL25025, and EL25026 were lost or stopped prematurely due to equipment/geological issues Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Hole EL25028 extends mineralization a further 200m to the northwest at Berezski Central. Evidence · text > This hole extends mineralization a further 200m to the northwest **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 details QA/QC protocols including standards, blanks, duplicates, and accredited ALS laboratory. Evidence · text > Arras Minerals QA/QC protocols are maintained through the insertion of certified reference material \(standards\), blanks and field duplicates **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: Project is located near the Bozshakol copper-gold mine. Evidence · text > lies near significant regional deposits, including...

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.
