# QMC Drills 2,300 Metres at Irgon Lithium Mine Project Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/qmc-drills-2-300-metres-at-irgon-lithium-mine-project--5683a154-557f-4707-8a09-dd4c2b566b07 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/QMC/news/8432836603151432/qmc-drills-2-300-metres-at-irgon-lithium-mine-project Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2019-04-16T12:47:07.000Z 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: Tantalum, Niobium, Rubidium, Cesium - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-16 20:02:06 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.20 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary QMC has completed a 2,300-metre Phase One drilling program at the Irgon Lithium Mine Project in Manitoba, intersecting significant visible spodumene. While the program confirms mineralization continues at depth below historic workings, definitive assay results are currently pending. Reasoning: The company completed a 2,300m drilling program showing significant visual spodumene, confirming depth continuity, but actual grades are pending assay. - Positive factor: successful completion of Phase One drilling - Positive factor: significant visible spodumene mineralization - Positive factor: confirms mineralization continues to depth below historic workings - Positive factor: QA/QC program implemented with certified lab - Negative factor: definitive assay results are still pending - Negative factor: reported widths are apparent/downhole, not true width Facts used in scoring: 2 ## Classification and evidence **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 implementation of QA/QC program including certified control standards, duplicates, and blanks, with SGS Labs as the certified facility. Evidence · text > QMC and SGS Canada have implemented a quality assurance and quality control \(QA/QC\) program... QMC inserted certified control standards, duplicates and blanks **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: The widest intersections \(21m and 23.5m\) are explicitly stated as not being true width. Evidence · text > cut 21 and 23.5 metres, respectively \(not true width\) ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 2. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (2) ### IR-19-18 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/qmc-drills-2-300-metres-at-irgon-lithium-mine-project--5683a154-557f-4707-8a09-dd4c2b566b07#fact-drill-facts-0) Irgon Lithium Mine · lithium #### Identity - Hole ID: IR-19-18 - Project: Irgon Lithium Mine - Commodity: lithium - Region: canada\_mb - Reported Region: canada\_mb - Ticker: QMC #### Geometry - Intercept: 14 m - From: 130 m - To: 144 m - Intercept Depth: 130 m #### Classification - Program: exploration - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: IR-19-18:130-144 - Mining Method: underground #### Location - Location: Irgon Dike - Dip: -65 ° - Loc.

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.
