# FTSE 100 Live: FTSE 100 continues to dip while FTSE 250 steadies Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/ftse-100-live-ftse-100-continues-to-dip-while-ftse-250-steadies--9730c222-c151-4559-9d6d-fad00a897636 Original source: https://www.proactiveinvestors.com/companies/news/1098732/ftse-100-live-ftse-100-continues-to-dip-while-ftse-250-steadies-1098732.html Publisher: proactiveinvestors Original announcement: 2026-09-18T11:46:55.780Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Tertiary Minerals PLC - Ticker: TYM - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: Zambia - Primary commodity: Silver - Secondary commodities: Copper, Zinc - Document categories: Drill results, Agreement transaction - Extracted: 2026-09-18 12:01:59 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Tertiary Minerals PLC has identified a 400-metre-long higher-grade silver-copper-zinc zone at its Mushima North project in Zambia. The drilling results indicate that the mineralisation extends beyond the current Exploration Target and remains open at depth. Reasoning: The announcement reports a significant new higher-grade silver-copper-zinc zone at the Mushima North project that extends beyond previous targets. - Positive factor: higher-grade zone identified - Positive factor: mineralisation extends beyond Exploration Target - Positive factor: remains open at depth Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Drilling shows mineralisation extending beyond the current Exploration Target. Evidence · text > mineralisation extending beyond the current Exploration Target ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (3) ### Fact 1 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/ftse-100-live-ftse-100-continues-to-dip-while-ftse-250-steadies--9730c222-c151-4559-9d6d-fad00a897636#fact-drill-facts-0) Mushima North · silver Needs review: drill\_no\_hole\_id #### Identity - Project: Mushima North - Commodity: silver - Region: zambia - Reported Region: zambia - Ticker: TYM #### Geometry - Intercept: 400 m #### Classification - Deposit Type: other - Program: exploration - Sample Type: drill - Mining Method: unknown #### Location - Location: Mushima North - Loc.

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.
