## Minestarters Atlas summary

NexMetals reported visual sulphide mineralization in drill hole SMD-26-209 at the Selebi Main deposit in Botswana. The 10.50 metre interval includes massive sulphides and suggests expansion of the Flexure Zone, with assays currently pending.

Reasoning: Visual intercept of 10.5m massive sulphides demonstrates expansion of the Flexure Zone beyond the 2024 MRE, though actual grades are pending assay validation.

- Positive factor: Step-Out Extension

- Positive factor: Strong Visual Intercept

- Negative factor: No QA/QC Disclosure

- Negative factor: Assays Pending

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Drilling in the Flexure Zone is expanding the mineralized footprint beyond the 2024 MRE.

Evidence · text

> demonstrating expansion potential within the Flexure Zone, extending down-dip and down-plunge from Selebi Main.

**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: Release mentions use of blanks, certified standards, and ALS Geochemistry.

Evidence · text

> Commercially prepared Blank samples and certified Cu/Ni sulphide analytical control standards are inserted in every batch

## 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.
