## Minestarters Atlas summary

Search Minerals reported results from a 2025 channel sampling program at the Fox Run, Foxy Lady, Krazy Fox, and Silver Fox prospects in Labrador. Notable intercepts at Fox Run included high concentrations of Nd, Pr, Dy, and Tb over widths up to 18.18m, which are comparable to the company's existing Foxtrot resource.

Reasoning: The program successfully identified significant channel-scale mineralization at the Fox Run prospect with grades comparable to existing resources, extending the known mineralized belt.

- Positive factor: Significant width of mineralized channels \(up to 18m\)

- Positive factor: High-grade neo-CREO elements \(Nd, Pr, Dy, Tb\) reported

- Positive factor: Proximity to existing advanced resources \(Foxtrot and Deep Fox\)

- Positive factor: QA/QC protocols and ISO accredited lab disclosed

Facts used in scoring: 4

## 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 includes detailed QA/QC protocols, mention of ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab \(ActLabs\), and use of standards and duplicates.

Evidence · text

> ActLabs is an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory.

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Prospects like Fox Run and Foxy Lady occur along the same mineralized belt as existing deposits, suggesting extension of the district.

Evidence · text

> the Fox Run and Foxy Lady prospects occur along the same mineralized belt between the Company's Foxtrot and Deep Fox deposits

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results.

Why it applies: The value of the new prospects is explicitly linked to their proximity to the Foxtrot and Deep Fox resources.

Evidence · text

> The proximity of these prospects to the Foxtrot and Deep Fox resources highlights the potential for additional mineralized zones

## 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.
