## Minestarters Atlas summary

Quantum Critical Metals has initiated an advanced mineral mapping program at its Discovery Property in Québec using nine historical samples. The program, conducted by Elemission Inc., aims to identify mineral hosts for gallium, rubidium, and cesium to guide future metallurgical testwork.

Reasoning: The company is initiating a non-drilling mineralogical study to guide future processing, which is a standard de-risking step for critical mineral projects.

- Positive factor: Initiation of advanced mineral mapping to de-risk future metallurgical testing

- Positive factor: Use of historical material avoids immediate drilling costs

- Positive factor: Independent QP oversight provided

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

**Bench Scale Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Only preliminary bench tests completed — no locked-cycle or pilot work.

Why it applies: The company mentions potential future bench-scale flotation testing following the mapping results.

Evidence · text

> the Company may then proceed to bench-scale flotation testing.

**Mill Route**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\).

Why it applies: the document describes a flotation route \("flotation"\)

**Gravity Route**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Gravity separation forms a material part of the flowsheet.

Why it applies: the document describes a gravity route \("gravity"\)

**Single Domain Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Testing limited to one composite or domain — representativeness not established.

Why it applies: only one composite was tested

## 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.
