## Minestarters Atlas summary

CopperEx has commenced a three-week geological field exploration program, including approximately 12 additional trenches, at its Exploradora Norte Project in Northern Chile. This work serves as preparation for a Phase II drilling program targeting the ADLP and Sorpresa targets, which is expected to begin in less than four months.

Reasoning: The announcement focuses on the commencement of a surface exploration program \(trenching\) to prepare for upcoming Phase II drilling, while re-stating historical Phase I drill results.

- Positive factor: commencement of follow-up surface program

- Positive factor: preparation for Phase II drilling

- Positive factor: robust gold grades from Phase I

Facts used in scoring: 11

## 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: The release mentions a Qualified Person \(Daniel MacNeil, PGeo\) has approved the technical information.

Evidence · text

> All scientific and technical information in this news release has been approved by Daniel MacNeil, PGeo, Technical Advisor to the Company. Mr. MacNeil is a qualified person for the purposes of NI 43-101.

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery.

Why it applies: The current program is described as focusing on infill areas and extensions.

Evidence · text

> The field work program is designed to focus on infill areas and extensions

## 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.
