## Minestarters Atlas summary

Salazar Resources has identified a high-grade tungsten \(1.80% W\) and silver \(740 g/t Ag\) sub-interval within drill hole MERC-011 at the Pijilí Project in Ecuador. This discovery was made through a re-interpretation of historical assay data rather than new drilling. The mineralization is associated with a hydrothermal breccia and is part of a larger porphyry system.

Reasoning: The announcement reports a high-grade tungsten-silver sub-interval identified through re-interpretation of historical data. While the grades are significant, the lack of new assays and the reliance on historical verification limits the novelty and immediate confidence.

- Positive factor: High-grade tungsten and silver intersection identified via re-interpretation

- Positive factor: Critical minerals \(W, Ag, Cu\) identified

- Positive factor: Significant tungsten anomaly noted in surface data

- Negative factor: Results are based on historical data and not new assays

- Negative factor: True width not yet known

- Negative factor: No new drilling conducted to confirm continuity

Facts used in scoring: 13

## Classification and evidence

**Stale Data Re-release**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Historical results re-announced with no new assays or reinterpretation — low genuine novelty.

Why it applies: The results are a re-interpretation of historical drilling and assays from 2020/2021, not new assays.

Evidence · text

> The assays were completed as part of the original Adventus drilling program and are not newly assayed by Salazar.

**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: The release details historical QA/QC protocols including standards, blanks, and duplicates used by Bureau Veritas.

Evidence · text

> The historical program implemented a quality assurance/quality control \(QA/QC\) program that includes chain-of-custody and the insertion of standards, blanks, and duplicates.

**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: Reported widths are downhole widths and true widths are not yet known.

Evidence · text

> Reported widths are downhole widths; true widths are not yet known.

Reasoning: Expanded from assay table. 189.8 g/t silver is strong against the default band \[500, 200, 100, 30\] g/t. Grade×width 3520.8 g/t·m is strong \(grade alone is moderate; the better of the two is used\).

- Positive factor: 189.8 g/t silver is strong on the default band.

- Negative factor: Scored from rubric bands during table expansion, not from document context.

#### Tags used in scoring

**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: qaqc\_disclosed is true

**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

## 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.
