## Minestarters Atlas summary

Midland Exploration, in partnership with Rio Tinto Exploration Canada, announced significant drill results from its 2025 program on the Galinée project. The program intersected new lithium and cesium bearing pegmatites, with highlights including 1.77% Li2O over 18.4 metres and 9.15% Cs2O over 6.4 metres. Additionally, new gold mineralization was identified, returning up to 8.8 g/t Au over 1.03 metres, expanding the project's prospectivity.

Reasoning: The drilling program on the Galinée project delivered strong lithium and exceptional cesium and gold intercepts, extending known mineralization and discovering new zones. The results are highly novel, indicating significant potential, despite the lack of true width information and some RC drilling.

- Positive factor: High-grade lithium intercepts, including 1.77% Li2O over 18.4m, indicating strong mineralization

- Positive factor: Discovery of new high-grade cesium mineralization, with up to 9.15% Cs2O over 6.4m, adding potential value

- Positive factor: Identification of new gold mineralization, including 8.8 g/t Au over 1.03m, diversifying prospectivity

- Positive factor: Drill program successfully extended known mineralization and tested new targets, demonstrating exploration success

- Positive factor: Comprehensive QA/QC protocols disclosed, including blanks, duplicates, standards, and certified lab analysis

- Positive factor: Qualified Person sign-off provides credibility to the reported results

- Negative factor: True thickness of mineralized intervals is not determined, potentially overstating apparent widths

- Negative factor: RC drilling may statistically return higher grades, introducing potential bias for some holes

- Negative factor: Gold intercepts lack specific from/to depths, limiting precise location information

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

## 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 details internal blanks, field duplicates, CRM standards \(OREAS 750, 751, 753, 999, 520, 524\), and analysis by ALS Laboratories, with specific analytical packages mentioned.

Evidence · text

> RTEC sampling protocols include the insertion of blanks, duplicates, and standards as such: Internal blanks were inserted at the beginning of every drill hole, or sample batch, and were inserted every 30 samples throughout. Field duplicates of ¼ cut drill cores were also inserted every 30 samples \(with the parent sample immediately preceding\). At least 1 CRM standard was inserted within every intersected pegmatite interval. CRM materials used included OREAS 750, OREAS 751, OREAS 753 and OREAS 999 for mineralized samples; OREAS 520 and OREAS 524 for unmineralized materials. All samples were prepared by ALS Laboratories in Thunder Bay using a preparation package whereby the entire sample is crushed to 70% less than 2-millimetre mesh size using a Boyd crusher and splitter combination. A one-kilogram split of crushed material is pulverized to better than 85% passing 75 microns mesh size. ALS internally sends all pulps to ALS Geochemistry in Vancouver for analysis. Pegmatite materials were analyzed by a multi-method analytical package: \(1\) ME-MS61L four acid digest and ICP-MS multicollector multi-element analysis, \(2\) ME-ICP06 lithium borate fusion whole rock analysis, and \(3\) ME-MS81 lithium borate fusion trace element analysis. All samples reporting >4500 ppm Li are reported by both a dilution method from the four-acid digest ME-MS61L and reanalyzed by Li-ICP82b sodium peroxide fusion and ICP-AES determination.

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience.

Why it applies: Jean-François Larivière, P. Geo, Ph. D, is named as Midland’s qualified person \(QP\) within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 and approved the press release.

Evidence · text

> Jean-François Larivière, P. Geo, Ph. D, prepared, reviewed and approved this press release and verified the Galinée project data as Midland’s qualified person \(QP\) within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101.

**Apparent Width Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness.

Why it applies: The document explicitly states that the true thickness of mineralized intervals cannot be determined with the information currently available.

Evidence · text

> The true thickness of mineralized intervals cannot be determined with the information currently available.

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

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

Why it applies: While cut-off grades for lithium and cesium composites are mentioned, the cut-off grade for the gold intercepts is not disclosed.

Evidence · text

> returned 8.8 g/t Au over 1.03 metres and 3.3 g/t Au over 0.68 metres.

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results.

Why it applies: The project's location is highlighted by its proximity to the Adina lithium deposit held by Winsome Resources, suggesting value based on nearby discoveries.

Evidence · text

> The Galinée project is located approximately 5 kilometres east of the Adina lithium deposit held by Winsome Resources

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The 2025 drilling campaign included step-outs throughout the property to test structural targets and follow up on 2024 intersections outside the core area.

Evidence · text

> The objectives of the 2025 drilling campaign were to follow up on 2024 intersections that were mainly outside the core of the main Iceberg area and which remained open and required further testing, and also conduct step-outs throughout the property to test structural targets.

## 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.
