# Pursuit Minerals hits 809mg/L lithium high score at Mito Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/pursuit-minerals-hits-809mg-l-lithium-high-score-at-mito--dabb2226-113c-42f4-af43-ae40d3f5d717 Original source: https://stockhead.com.au/resources/pursuit-minerals-hits-809mg-l-lithium-high-score-at-mito/ Publisher: stockhead Original announcement: 2026-09-10T01:54:51.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Pursuit Minerals - Ticker: PUR - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: Argentina - Primary commodity: Lithium - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Drill results, Resource update - Extracted: 2026-09-12 00:46:45 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Pursuit Minerals has reported a high-grade lithium brine intercept of 809mg/L from packer testing in hole DDH-3 at the Mito area of the Rio Grande Sur project in Argentina. This result is significantly higher than the shallower 298.4mg/L intercept from the same hole and exceeds the project's current resource average of 424mg/L. The company is awaiting further assays from deeper samples to confirm continuity. Reasoning: The 809mg/L lithium intercept is a significant grade increase over the existing resource average \(424mg/L\) and provides high-grade evidence in a key growth area \(Mito\). - Positive factor: High-grade lithium brine intercept \(809mg/L\) significantly exceeds existing resource averages - Positive factor: Intercept demonstrates grade improvement at depth - Positive factor: Direct evidence of lithium within previously identified conductive geophysical system - Negative factor: Result is a single packer assay, not a composited resource average - Negative factor: Continuity of high-grade brine at depth is still unconfirmed pending further assays Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The 809mg/L intercept was found at depth \(approx 400m\) within a conductive system previously identified by geophysics. Evidence · text > direct evidence of high-grade lithium brine within that deeper exploration window ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4.
