## Minestarters Atlas summary

Lomiko Metals has identified new rare earth element \(REE\) anomalies at its Yellow Fox property in Newfoundland through expanded soil sampling. The results show highly anomalous levels of magnet metals, including Neodymium, Praseodymium, and Dysprosium, with total REE values reaching up to 5,176 ppm.

Reasoning: The identification of highly anomalous REE soil samples \(up to 5,176 ppm TREE\) including critical magnet metals \(Nd, Pr, Dy\) represents a significant new exploration target at the Yellow Fox property.

- Positive factor: Discovery of new REE anomalies

- Positive factor: High concentrations of magnet metals \(Nd, Pr, Dy\)

- Positive factor: Large scale of anomalies \(up to 1300m length\)

- Positive factor: Presence of both LREE and HREE

- Negative factor: No QA/QC disclosure for the specific 7-sample REE batch

- Negative factor: Surface sampling is selective and may not represent average grades

Facts used in scoring: 6

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The REE anomalies represent a new type of target \(REE\) discovered within the existing exploration program targeting critical metals.

Evidence · text

> NEW potential rare earth discovery.

**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: The document states that for the specific 7-sample REE batch sent to Bureau Veritas, no standards or blanks were added.

Evidence · text

> No standards or blanks were added to this batch of 7 samples.

## 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.
