## Minestarters Atlas summary

Carolina Rush has filed its maiden NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate for the Brewer Gold-Copper Project in South Carolina. The estimate includes an in-situ resource of 13.8 Mt containing 412 koz Au and 24,719 thousand lbs Cu, plus an additional 11.9 Mt of inferred backfill material.

Reasoning: The filing of a maiden NI 43-101 technical report establishing a gold-copper resource is a major de-risking milestone for an exploration company.

- Positive factor: Maiden resource establishment

- Positive factor: NI 43-101 compliant

- Positive factor: Significant gold-copper content

- Positive factor: Proximity to producing Haile Gold Mine

- Negative factor: High proportion of Inferred resource

- Negative factor: Backfill resource is theoretical with no metallurgical testing

Facts used in scoring: 6

## Classification and evidence

**Maiden Resource**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: First formal MRE for the project — establishes baseline but typically exploration-stage with high Inferred component. No prior estimate exists, so every change band is not applicable.

Why it applies: The announcement describes the first formal mineral resource estimate for the Brewer project.

Evidence · text

> maiden mineral resource estimate

**NI 43-101 Compliant**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard.

Why it applies: The technical report was prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 standards.

Evidence · text

> prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience.

Why it applies: Qualified Persons Patrick O. Quigley and Patrick J. Hollenbeck are named as responsible for the report.

Evidence · text

> prepared under National Instrument 43-101 \("NI 43-101"\) standards by Qualified Persons \(QP\), Patrick O. Quigley and Patrick J. Hollenbeck

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: The backfill mineral resource was reported without a stated cutoff grade.

Evidence · text

> No cutoff grade was applied to the backfill mineral resource

## 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.
