# CleanTech Commences Campbell-Crotser Fluorspar Mine Permitting at Prominent Kentucky Fluorspar District Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/cleantech-commences-campbell-crotser-fluorspar-mine-permitting-at-prominent-kent--42721943-b4ee-4e52-b889-c1270ea856b5 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/CTV/news/5029738151882282/cleantech-commences-campbell-crotser-fluorspar-mine-permitting-at-prominent-kent Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-06-16T12:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: CleanTech Vanadium Mining Corp. - Ticker: CTV - Exchange: TSX - Region: Kentucky - Primary commodity: Fluorspar - Secondary commodities: Zinc, Lead - Document categories: Resource update, Permitting - Extracted: 2026-09-15 18:44:48 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.20 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary CleanTech has engaged a permitting specialist to begin the application process for the Campbell-Crotser underground fluorspar mine and flotation plant in Kentucky. The announcement also includes a restatement of a 1974 historical mineral resource estimate, which the company explicitly warns is non-compliant with modern CIM standards and should not be relied upon. Reasoning: The company is advancing the permitting stage for a fluorspar project, supported by historical resource data that is noted as unreliable and non-compliant with current standards. - Positive factor: Initiation of permitting process for Campbell-Crotser project - Positive factor: Engagement of specialized permitting expert - Positive factor: Presence of significant historical fluorspar mineralization - Negative factor: Historical resource estimate is non-compliant with modern standards - Negative factor: Lack of documented estimation methodology or QA/QC for historical data - Negative factor: Resource categories predate current CIM standards Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source. Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **Inferred Resource** Polarity: negative Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone. Why it applies: The historical estimate includes an Inferred category which the company notes is not defined by current CIM standards. Evidence · text > Inferred 160,724 35.97 3.75 1.25 **Historical Estimate Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Estimate pre-dates or does not comply with current JORC/NI 43-101 standards — requires verification drilling. Why it applies: The resource estimate is from a 1974 report and does not comply with current NI 43-101 or CIM standards. Evidence · text > A historic \(non-43-101 compliant\) mineral resource estimate performed by Boyce Moodie III in 1974 **No QA/QC Disclosure** Polarity: negative Story-specific tag Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document. Why it applies: The company explicitly states the historical estimate lacks documented QA/QC protocols. Evidence · text > absence of QA/QC protocols ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6.

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.
