The company also announced new high-priority drill targets identified through a recent dipole-dipole induced polarization \(DDIP\) geophysical survey. Reasoning: The company has secured critical permitting for its flagship project and identified new drill targets via geophysics, though the supporting historical data is noted as unverified. - Positive factor: Final BLM drill permit approval received - Positive factor: New high-priority DDIP targets identified - Positive factor: Geophysical anomalies coincide with known mineralization - Negative factor: Historical drill results cited lack recent validation 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 review by experienced consultants and a Qualified Person \(Ty Magee, P. Geo\). Evidence · text > Qualified Person Ty Magee, P. Geo, a Qualified Person... has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The DDIP survey has identified new, largely untested drill target areas along strike-extensive trends. Evidence · text > defines at least 3 strike extensive trends... and have defined several new drill target areas **Stale Data Re-release** Polarity: negative Definition: Historical results re-announced with no new assays or reinterpretation — low genuine novelty. Why it applies: The drill results used to define the targets are explicitly noted as being of a historical nature and unverified. Evidence · text > The drill results disclosed are of a historical nature. While this historical data provides valuable context, the Company has not conducted a detailed validation ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 11. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (11) ### Adelaide Crow [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/lodestar-metals-receives-final-blm-drill-permit-approval-and-defines-new-high-pr--d39263f5-38a9-40c2-860d-2fffd35f56ec#fact-drill-facts-0) Gold Run · gold Historical result Needs review: historical\_restatement #### Identity - Hole ID: Adelaide Crow - Project: Gold Run - Commodity: gold - Region: usa\_nv - Reported Region: usa\_nv - Ticker: LSTR #### Geometry - Grade: 9.7 - Grade Unit: g/t - Intercept: 27.4 m - From: 24 m - To: 51.4 m - Intercept Depth: 24 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: Adelaide Crow:24-51.4 #### QA/QC - QP Signed: Yes #### Review - Needs Review: Yes - Review Reason: historical\_restatement - Interp.

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.
