## Minestarters Atlas summary

Tertiary Minerals has reported encouraging drill results at the Mushima North project in Zambia, including a significant 82m intercept at 107 g/t silver equivalent. The drilling has extended the mineralised zone beyond previous boundaries and demonstrated grade consistency, supporting the company's goal of a maiden Mineral Resource by year-end.

Reasoning: The announcement reports significant high-grade silver equivalent drill intercepts and successful zone extension, which are key catalysts for the upcoming maiden Mineral Resource.

- Positive factor: High-grade silver equivalent intercept reported

- Positive factor: Mineralisation extended beyond existing Exploration Target boundary

- Positive factor: Grade consistency noted across wider zone

- Positive factor: Presence of copper and critical minerals \(bismuth, antimony\)

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Drilling successfully extended the zone beyond the existing Exploration Target boundary.

Evidence · text

> Several drill holes have also ended in mineralisation beyond the existing Exploration Target boundary.

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm.

Why it applies: 191 g/t silver equivalent is exceptionally high for the context.

Evidence · text

> 37 metres at 191 grams per tonne

**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 document mentions the results are from a drilling programme, though specific lab/QP details are in the interview context.

Evidence · text

> latest drilling results from Mushima North

#### Tags used in scoring

**No QA/QC Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document.

Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is not 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

**Metal Equivalent Opaque**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Metal equivalent grade reported without disclosing the price, recovery, or payability assumptions used. Requires an actual metal equivalent grade; a combined elemental basket such as PGE is not a metal equivalent.

Why it applies: an equivalent grade is reported without its assumptions

## 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.
