## Minestarters Atlas summary

IDEX Metals has confirmed significant tungsten enrichment at the Freeze Property in Idaho using a more effective sodium peroxide fusion \(SPF\) re-assay method. The results include high-grade intercepts of up to 1.55% WO3 and broad mineralization, suggesting the Kismet system is a larger copper-molybdenum-tungsten polymetallic porphyry-related system.

Reasoning: The re-assay results using sodium peroxide fusion \(SPF\) revealed significantly higher tungsten grades than previously reported via four-acid digestion, uncovering high-grade zones and broad enrichment in a known polymetallic system.

- Positive factor: Significant tungsten enrichment confirmed via superior analytical method \(SPF\)

- Positive factor: High-grade internal zones identified \(up to 1.55% WO3\)

- Positive factor: Broad mineralization widths \(up to 180.5m\)

- Positive factor: Visible coarse scheelite provides geological support

- Positive factor: Adds a new critical-metal dimension to a known Cu-Mo system

- Negative factor: Early-stage results from only two drill holes

Facts used in scoring: 5

## 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 use of certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates, and names AGAT Laboratories.

Evidence · text

> The Company’s QA/QC program includes the insertion of certified reference materials, blanks and duplicates, as appropriate.

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The tungsten enrichment adds a new dimension to the existing copper-molybdenum system.

Evidence · text

> Confirming broad tungsten enrichment... adds an entirely new and important critical-metals dimension to the Property.

## 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.
