## Minestarters Atlas summary

Greenland Mines has completed its 2026 bathymetric survey campaign and the HQ-diameter drill core phase for metallurgical bulk sampling at the Skaergaard Project. The drill program is now transitioning to NQ-size core drilling for resource definition and geotechnical work, supported by a new on-site core shack.

Reasoning: The company successfully completed a key phase of metallurgical drilling and a bathymetric survey, advancing the project toward infrastructure and bulk sampling stages.

- Positive factor: completion of metallurgical core drilling

- Positive factor: successful bathymetric survey exceeding scope

- Positive factor: infrastructure milestones \(core shack\)

- Positive factor: operational use of survey data

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

**Bench Scale Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Only preliminary bench tests completed — no locked-cycle or pilot work.

Why it applies: The drilling is described as supporting a planned metallurgical bulk sample, which is a preliminary stage of metallurgical testing.

Evidence · text

> All HQ-diameter drill core supporting our planned metallurgical bulk sample has now been completed successfully

**Single Domain Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Testing limited to one composite or domain — representativeness not established.

Why it applies: only one composite was tested

## 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.
