## Minestarters Atlas summary

Power Metallic Mines Inc. reported a high-grade drill intercept of 22.00 metres at 11.46% CuEq from hole 26-095. This represents one of the best intersections ever recorded at the Lion West project.

Reasoning: The hole 26-095 returned 22.00m at 11.46% CuEq, which is a massive improvement over the previous best copper grade of 10.08% \(16.6m\) and significantly exceeds the project average.

- Positive factor: Exceptional copper equivalent grade

- Positive factor: Significant intercept width

- Positive factor: New best-known intercept for the project

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm.

Why it applies: 11.46% CuEq is exceptionally high for a copper-focused project.

Evidence · text

> 11.46% CuEq

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The intercept is described as the 'Second Best Intersection Ever', implying significant new discovery/extension value.

#### Tags used in scoring

**No QA/QC Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document.

Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is not true

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

**Metal Equivalent Opaque**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Metal equivalent grade reported without disclosing the price, recovery, or payability assumptions used. Requires an actual metal equivalent grade; a combined elemental basket such as PGE is not a metal equivalent.

Why it applies: an equivalent grade is reported without its assumptions

## 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.
