## Minestarters Atlas summary

VanadiumCorp has reported results from an Ambient Noise Tomography \(ANT\) geophysical survey at the Lac Doré Vanadium Project, which suggests the known vanadium-titanium-magnetite trend may extend at depth. The company also restated a historical mineral resource estimate from 2020, which it notes is unverified and not being treated as a current resource.

Reasoning: The release reports a geophysical survey that supports the exploration model, but the primary resource data provided is a historical, unverified estimate.

- Positive factor: Geophysical survey suggests mineralized trend extends to depth

- Positive factor: Identification of a laterally continuous low-velocity corridor coinciding with known VTM trend

- Negative factor: Geophysical results are indirect and do not confirm mineralization

- Negative factor: Historical resource estimate is unverified and not treated as current

Facts used in scoring: 6

## Classification and evidence

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: The 2020 historical estimate includes an 86.91 Mt Inferred component.

Evidence · text

> Inferred: 86.91 Mt grading 0.40% V₂O₅

**Historical Estimate Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Estimate pre-dates or does not comply with current JORC/NI 43-101 standards — requires verification drilling.

Why it applies: The resource estimate provided is from 2020 and is explicitly labeled as historical and unverified.

Evidence · text

> This estimate is considered a historical estimate under National Instrument 43-101.

**No QP/CP Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: No Qualified Person or Competent Person named — lower credibility for the estimate. A QP/CP should be a member of a recognized professional association with relevant experience.

Why it applies: The company states that a Qualified Person has not completed sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current.

Evidence · text

> a Qualified Person has not completed sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources.

## 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.
