## Minestarters Atlas summary

Lomiko Metals has announced highly anomalous rare earth element \(REE\) results from additional soil sampling at the Yellow Fox property in Newfoundland. The assays identified significant enrichment in Heavy Rare Earth Elements \(HREE\) and Yttrium, with Dysprosium and Terbium values up to 10-20 times background levels.

Reasoning: The announcement reports highly anomalous REE \(specifically HREE and Yttrium\) results from soil sampling, extending the known mineralized footprint and identifying a highly evolved peralkaline granite system.

- Positive factor: identification of new REE anomalies

- Positive factor: high HREE+Y/LREE ratios

- Positive factor: continuity of previously identified zones

- Positive factor: highly anomalous Dy and Tb values

- Negative factor: results are from soil sampling which is selective by nature

Facts used in scoring: 14

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The results identify new REE anomalies and expand the known mineralized footprint.

## 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.
