## Minestarters Atlas summary

Pecoy Copper Corp. is scheduled to commence its first drilling program at the Pecoy Copper-Gold-Molybdenum-Silver Project in southern Peru since 2016. The program aims to expand the mineralized footprint of the large porphyry system, which currently holds an inferred resource of 865 Mt at 0.34% Cu.

Reasoning: The announcement signals the start of a new exploration phase at a large porphyry system, providing a catalyst for potential resource expansion, though no new assay results are provided.

- Positive factor: Commencement of first drilling program in nearly a decade

- Positive factor: Consolidation of project under a single entity

- Positive factor: Existing inferred resource of 865 Mt at 0.34% Cu

- Positive factor: Permits and community agreements renewed/secured

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: The project hosts a current copper inferred resource of 865 million tonnes at 0.34% Cu.

Evidence · text

> The Pecoy deposit hosts a current copper inferred resource of 865 million tonnes at 0.34% Cu

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: The technical disclosure was reviewed and approved by a Qualified Person \(P.Geo\).

Evidence · text

> reviewed and approved by Vincent Cardin-Tremblay, P.Geo., current Chief Geological Officer of Pecoy Copper, a Qualified Person

#### Tags used in scoring

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: category is "inferred"

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

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

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

**NI 43-101 Compliant**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard.

Why it applies: reporting\_standards includes ni\_43\_101

**No Contained Metal**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Tonnage and grade reported but contained metal not calculated or disclosed — incomplete reporting.

Why it applies: contained\_metal was not reported

## 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.
