# CleanTech to Submit Fluorspar Mine Permit by Year End with State Approval Decision in 2027 at Kentucky Fluorspar District Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/cleantech-to-submit-fluorspar-mine-permit-by-year-end-with-state-approval-decisi--5e5694b0-9f6f-4563-847e-53b86cdfc288 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/CTV/news/5215308890028637/cleantech-to-submit-fluorspar-mine-permit-by-year-end-with-state-approval-decisi Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-07-07T17:46:00.000Z 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, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-15 18:42:15 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.40 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary CleanTech Vanadium Mining Corp. announced a regulatory roadmap for its Campbell-Crotser Fluorspar Project in Kentucky, targeting permit submissions by the end of 2026. The company aims for permit issuance in the first half of 2027 and expects to sign its first binding off-take agreement by November 2026. Reasoning: The company is advancing a permitting roadmap for a strategic fluorspar project, though the timeline to operational readiness is multi-year. - Positive factor: clear regulatory roadmap - Positive factor: strategic critical mineral positioning - Positive factor: appointment of permitting specialist - Negative factor: long timeline to permit issuance \(2027\) - Negative factor: reliance on historical data for project scale Facts used in scoring: 10 ## Classification and evidence **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 historical resource estimate is explicitly noted as predating modern QA/QC procedures and has not been independently verified. Evidence · text > The Historical Estimate predates modern quality-assurance and quality-control \("QA/QC"\) procedures ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Resource Estimates (6) ### indicated [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/cleantech-to-submit-fluorspar-mine-permit-by-year-end-with-state-approval-decisi--5e5694b0-9f6f-4563-847e-53b86cdfc288#fact-resource-facts-4) Campbell-Crotser · fluorspar Historical result Needs review: historical\_restatement #### Identity - Project: Campbell-Crotser - Commodity: fluorspar - Region: kentucky - Reported Region: Kentucky - Ticker: CTV #### Resource scope - Estimate type: resource - QP Signed: No - Resource group id: resource:8d71f51a0cddeb703e05 - Deposit or zone: Campbell-Crotser #### Resource Data - Category: indicated - Tonnes: 645117 - Grade: 37.38 - Grade Unit: %CaF2 #### Review - Needs Review: Yes - Review Reason: historical\_restatement - Historical: Yes - Historical Source Date: 1974-01-01T00:00:00.000Z #### Dates - Event date: 2026-07-07T00:00:00.000Z Reasoning: This is a restatement of a 1974 estimate with no modern verification. - Negative factor: historical data - Negative factor: no QA/QC Evidence · text > Indicated 645,117 37.38 3.10 0.92 #### Tags used in scoring **Indicated Resource** Polarity: positive Definition: Reasonable geological confidence based on adequate drilling; continuity can be assumed.

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.
