## Minestarters Atlas summary

Clean Air Metals has confirmed a down-plunge extension of the Escape Deposit at its Thunder Bay North Project via hole EL25-001. The drill hole intersected high-tenor PGE-Cu-Ni sulphides, validating the company's geophysical targeting of a 2.5 km magnetic anomaly.

Reasoning: The single hole EL25-001 successfully confirmed a down-plunge extension of the Escape Deposit into a 2.5 km magnetic anomaly, hitting high-tenor PGE-Cu-Ni sulphides.

- Positive factor: Step-Out Extension

- Positive factor: High-grade sulphide mineralization

- Positive factor: Confirms geophysical targeting

Facts used in scoring: 23

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Drilling confirmed the continuation of the Escape Deposit into a previously untested 2.5 km magnetic anomaly.

Evidence · text

> confirmed the continuation of the Escape Deposit into a previously untested 2.5 km long magnetic anomaly

**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 includes a sign-off by a Qualified Person \(Dr. Lionnel Djon, P.Geo\).

Evidence · text

> Dr. Lionnel Djon, Ph.D., P.Geo., a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101

## 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.
