# QMC Doubles Strike Length of Irgon Dike to 800 Metres Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/qmc-doubles-strike-length-of-irgon-dike-to-800-metres--c8f69f48-0935-46de-bc06-f3cce02cf6a5 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/QMC/news/5711843837776311/qmc-doubles-strike-length-of-irgon-dike-to-800-metres Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2018-10-30T12:50:33.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Quantum Minerals Corp. - Ticker: QMC - Exchange: TSX - Region: Manitoba - Primary commodity: Lithium - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Resource update, Other, Metallurgy - Extracted: 2026-09-16 19:25:54 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.40 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary QMC has identified visual spodumene mineralization in pegmatite outcrops extending up to 400m west of the Irgon Shaft, suggesting a strike length extension of the Irgon Dike to 800m. The company plans channel sampling and drilling to evaluate this western extension and potentially expand the historical lithium resource. Reasoning: The company reports visual evidence of lithium mineralization extending the known strike of the Irgon Dike, suggesting significant resource expansion potential, though it relies on historical data for context. - Positive factor: Visual spodumene mineralization identified on strike with Irgon Dike - Positive factor: Potential for significant resource expansion westward - Positive factor: Historical resource provides a baseline for exploration upside - Negative factor: New mineralization is currently only visual/outcrop based - Negative factor: Historical resource does not meet current NI 43-101 standards Facts used in scoring: 2 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Visual spodumene identified in pegmatite outcrops up to 400m west of the Irgon Shaft, suggesting the dike trend continues. Evidence · text > Spodumene mineralization was identified in numerous localized pegmatite exposures, directly on strike with and as far as 400 meters west of the Irgon Shaft. **Historical Estimate Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Estimate pre-dates or does not comply with current JORC/NI 43-101 standards — requires verification drilling. Why it applies: The document discusses a 1953-1954 resource estimate that does not comply with current NI 43-101 standards. Evidence · text > This historical estimate is believed to be based on reasonable assumptions, but... does not meet current standards as defined under sections 1.2 and 1.3 of NI 43-101 **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 release names a Qualified Person \(Bruce E. Goad, P. Geo.\) who reviewed the technical content. Evidence · text > The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Bruce E. Goad, P. Geo., who is a qualified person **Mill Route** Polarity: neutral Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\). Why it applies: the document describes a flotation route \("concentrate"\) ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 2.

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 **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 **Stale Estimate** Polarity: negative Definition: Effective date is >2 years old — data currency concern, may not reflect current geological understanding. Why it applies: effective date is 63.2 years before this release ## Metallurgical Results (1) ### unspecified [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/qmc-doubles-strike-length-of-irgon-dike-to-800-metres--c8f69f48-0935-46de-bc06-f3cce02cf6a5#fact-metallurgical-facts-1) Irgon Mine Project · lithium #### Identity - Project: Irgon Mine Project - Commodity: lithium - Region: canada\_mb - Reported Region: Manitoba - Ticker: QMC #### Test Work - Program Status: scoping - Test Type: unspecified #### Recovery - Recovery: 87 % - Recovery Basis: unspecified - Conc.

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.
