## Minestarters Atlas summary

Cleghorn Minerals has reported surface channel sampling results from historical trenches and pits at the Meech Lake - Matachewan Prospect in Ontario. Highlights include a high-grade Ni-Cu-PGE intercept at Kell's Showing and several Au-Ag-Zn intercepts at the Waterhole and Kell's Cabin showings, confirming two distinct mineralized systems.

Reasoning: The release reports high-grade surface channel samples that confirm the presence of two mineralized trends \(Ni-Cu-PGE and Au-Ag-Zn\), though they lack the depth/volume certainty of drill results.

- Positive factor: High-grade Ni-Cu-PGE intercepts in Trench 5

- Positive factor: Confirmation of two distinct mineralized systems

- Positive factor: QA/QC protocols and QP sign-off disclosed

- Negative factor: Results are from surface channel sampling, not drill intercepts

Facts used in scoring: 12

## 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 Minerals as an accredited laboratory and details specific assay methods \(4 Acid/ICP-AES, fire assay\).

Evidence · text

> All channel samples were submitted to ALS Minerals, an accredited mineral analysis laboratory.

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

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: Michael P. Rosatelli, P.Geo. is designated as the Qualified Person.

Evidence · text

> Michael P. Rosatelli, P.Geo. and senior geological consultant to Cleghorn, is the designated "qualified person"

## 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.
