## Minestarters Atlas summary

North American Niobium and Critical Minerals Corp. has completed a drill program at the Seigneurie project in Québec. The drilling confirmed that the pegmatite-syenite system extends laterally for at least 1.5 kilometres, though assays for the latest holes are still pending.

Reasoning: The program successfully delineated a 1.5km lateral extension of the pegmatite system, though specific grades are not yet available.

- Positive factor: lateral extension of pegmatite system

- Positive factor: successful completion of drill program

- Negative factor: assays pending

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

**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 release does not provide details on assay protocols, lab certification, or QP sign-off for the pending assays.

Evidence · text

> assays pending

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The drilling confirmed the pegmatite system extends laterally over 1.5 kilometres.

Evidence · text

> delineating a pegmatite-syenite system that currently extends at least 1.5 kilometres

## 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.
