## Minestarters Atlas summary

Arras Minerals has reported significant drill results from the Berezski North target at the Elemes Project in Kazakhstan, including a 935.9m intercept grading 0.71% CuEq from surface. The drilling confirmed high-grade near-surface breccias and a large underlying porphyry system that remains open in multiple directions.

Reasoning: The results demonstrate a large-scale, continuous porphyry system with significant high-grade near-surface breccia components, materially advancing the project's scale potential.

- Positive factor: Significant intercept of 935.9m porphyry-style mineralization from surface

- Positive factor: High-grade breccia intercept of 4.41% CuEq over 55m

- Positive factor: Extension of high-grade breccia strike length to >600m

- Positive factor: System remains open in multiple directions and to depth

Facts used in scoring: 8

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Drilling has extended the strike length of the high-grade breccias to be in excess of 600m.

Evidence · text

> these holes have extended the strike length of the high-grade breccias to be in excess of 600m.

**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 includes detailed QA/QC protocols, including use of standards, blanks, and field duplicates, with oversight by a QP.

Evidence · text

> QA/QC protocols are maintained through the insertion of certified reference material \(standards\), blanks and field duplicates

**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: All drill intervals are reported as downhole/drill widths; true thicknesses are explicitly stated as unknown.

Evidence · text

> All drill-hole intervals are reported as drill widths, as true thicknesses are unknown.

## 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.
