# QMC Reports Lithium Assay Results to 2.79% Li2O from Mapetre, Central and Irgon West Dikes Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/qmc-reports-lithium-assay-results-to-2-79-li2o-from-mapetre-central-and-irgon-we--8ddeaf57-78de-4b3a-8af4-f05fb5fbd000 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/QMC/news/7835199070600344/qmc-reports-lithium-assay-results-to-2-79-li2o-from-mapetre-central-and-irgon-we Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2019-04-24T12:47:17.000Z 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 - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-16 19:27:16 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary QMC has reported high-grade lithium assay results from surface chip and grab sampling of the Mapetre, Central, and Irgon West dikes, with grades reaching 2.79% Li2O. The results identify several new spodumene-bearing pegmatite dikes, suggesting significant expansion potential for the Irgon Lithium Mine Project in Manitoba. Reasoning: The release reports strong lithium grades from surface sampling of new pegmatite dikes, providing significant exploration upside for the Irgon project. - Positive factor: High grade lithium intercepts \(up to 2.79% Li2O\) - Positive factor: Discovery of multiple spodumene-bearing dikes - Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed with SGS laboratory and QP sign-off - Negative factor: Results are from surface sampling \(chip/grab\) rather than drilling - Negative factor: Historical resource estimate mentioned is non-compliant with NI 43-101 Facts used in scoring: 12 ## 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 analysis at SGS Laboratory and QP sign-off by Bruce E. Goad, P. Geo. Evidence · text > All samples were analyzed at SGS Laboratory, Lakefield Ontario. ... reviewed and approved by Bruce E. Goad, P. Geo., who is a qualified person **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Sampling identifies new spodumene-bearing pegmatite dikes within the property. Evidence · text > demonstrate a huge potential to develop additional tonnage within the Irgon Lithium Property ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 12.

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.
