## Minestarters Atlas summary

Scandium Canada announced significant drill results from its 2026 Crater Lake program in Nunavik, Québec, including the best intercept to date of 140.15 m at 293 ppm Sc2O3. The program has now yielded three intersections over 100 m, with all 12 reported holes hitting scandium mineralization consistent with the current resource estimate. The company also confirmed lateral extensions of the TG deposit by 245 metres and noted robust QA/QC procedures.

Reasoning: Scandium Canada reported strong drill results from its Crater Lake project, including the longest intercept of the 2026 program \(140.15 m at 293 ppm Sc2O3\) and confirmation of lateral extensions. All reported holes intersected mineralization consistent with the current resource estimate, indicating good continuity and potential for resource expansion. QA/QC procedures are robust, but true widths remain undetermined.

- Positive factor: Longest intercept of the 2026 program reported \(140.15 m at 293 ppm Sc2O3\)

- Positive factor: Three intersections now over 100 m, indicating good continuity

- Positive factor: All 12 holes reported to date hit scandium mineralization, consistent with resource estimate

- Positive factor: Confirmation of lateral extensions of the TG deposit by 245 metres

- Positive factor: QA/QC procedures compliant with NI 43-101 and industry best practice, including certified lab and QP sign-off

- Negative factor: True width not determined for reported intercepts

- Negative factor: Assay results pending for exploration holes in Discovery Area

Facts used in scoring: 30

## Classification and evidence

**True Width Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length.

Why it applies: The document explicitly states 'The True thickness of the zones remains to be determined', indicating true width is not disclosed.

Evidence · text

> The True thickness of the zones remains to be determined

**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 strict QA/QC procedures, use of certified reference materials, duplicates, blanks, and a certified laboratory \(Activation Laboratories Ltd.\), with sign-off by a Qualified Person.

Evidence · text

> Strict QA/QC procedures, compliant with the disclosure requirements of National Instrument 43-101 and with industry best practice, were applied to sample handling for the Crater Lake project, including the insertion of certified reference materials \(standards\), duplicates and blanks at regular intervals through the sequence of samples.

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience.

Why it applies: The scientific and technical information has been reviewed and approved by Eric Kinnan, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101.

Evidence · text

> The scientific and technical information contained in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Eric Kinnan, P.Geo. \(OGQ No. 00788\), an independent consulting geologist and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

**Certified Lab**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: No canonical definition is currently available.

Why it applies: All sample preparation and analytical work was carried out at Activation Laboratories Ltd. facilities.

Evidence · text

> All sample preparation and analytical work was carried out at its facilities in Ancaster, Ontario.

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The drilling campaign confirmed lateral extensions of the TG deposit to the North and South for a minimum of 240 m.

Evidence · text

> confirming the lateral extensions of the TG deposit to the North and South for a minimum of 240 m to date

Evidence · table

> 294.13

Context: 40.05

#### Tags used in scoring

**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 document explicitly states 'The True thickness of the zones remains to be determined'.

Evidence · text

> The True thickness of the zones remains to be determined

**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.
