## Minestarters Atlas summary

Tertiary Minerals reported high-grade silver-copper drilling results at the Mushima North project in Zambia. A key intercept of 82m at 107 g/t silver equivalent was highlighted, including a 37m high-grade section, with results suggesting the Discovery Zone remains open at depth.

Reasoning: The announcement reports a high-grade, wide silver-equivalent intercept \(82m at 107 g/t AgEq\) that exceeds previous results and suggests the deposit remains open at depth.

- Positive factor: Highest-grade silver-copper intersection reported to date

- Positive factor: Significant width \(82m\) at high silver equivalent grade

- Positive factor: Hole ended in mineralisation suggesting depth potential

- Positive factor: Discovery Zone expansion potential noted

Facts used in scoring: 6

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: 659 g/t silver assay is exceptionally high for silver

Evidence · text

> highest individual silver assay to date at 659 g/t

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Holes ended in mineralisation beyond current Exploration Target boundary

Evidence · text

> Two of the four newly reported holes ended in mineralisation beyond the current Exploration Target boundary.

#### 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.
