## Minestarters Atlas summary

Bitterroot Resources has reported high-grade nickel and copper intercepts from the LM Project in Michigan. Notable results include 0.80 m of 4.81% Ni and 1.05% Cu in hole LM 21-14.

Reasoning: Strong nickel grades \(up to 4.81%\) in massive sulphides confirm mineralization, though true widths are currently unstated.

- Positive factor: High nickel grades in massive sulphide

- Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed with certified lab

- Positive factor: Presence of copper and gold/PGM credits

- Negative factor: Apparent width only \(true width not disclosed\)

Facts used in scoring: 8

## 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 ALS Canada Ltd. used standards and blanks for QA/QC.

Evidence · text

> Analytical quality assurance and quality control \(QA/QC\) confirming the accuracy of the analyses were performed by ALS using twelve \(12\) standard samples and two \(2\) blanks.

**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: True widths cannot be calculated due to insufficient orientation information.

Evidence · text

> True widths cannot be calculated at this time due to insufficient information on the orientation of the mineralized zones.

## 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.
