## Minestarters Atlas summary

Vendetta Mining announced its 2022 drilling program for the Pegmont Lead-Zinc Project in Australia, which includes 8,000 metres of drilling and metallurgical testing. The company also confirmed the 15-year renewal of three mining leases and provided a summary of its existing mineral resource estimate.

Reasoning: The company announced a new drilling program and lease renewals, but the core resource data provided is a restatement of a 2018 estimate.

- Positive factor: Mining lease renewals provide long-term tenure

- Positive factor: Upcoming 8,000m drill program targets resource growth

- Positive factor: Existing resource shows strong lead-zinc grades

- Negative factor: Resource estimate is historical \(effective 2018\)

- Negative factor: Metallurgical recoveries are variable by zone

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: A significant portion of the resource is in the Inferred category.

Evidence · text

> Inferred 8,277 Kt @ 5.1% Pb, 2.8% Zn, 8 g/t Ag

**Resource Update**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Revised estimate for an existing resource — compare to prior to assess progress.

Why it applies: The document provides a summary of the current mineral resource estimate.

Evidence · text

> The current Mineral Resource Estimate at the Project is as follows:

#### Tags used in scoring

**Indicated Resource**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Reasonable geological confidence based on adequate drilling; continuity can be assumed. Basis for Probable Reserves.

Why it applies: category is "indicated"

**Cut-off Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison.

Why it applies: cutoff\_grade is stated

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

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: qp\_signed is true

**No Contained Metal**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Tonnage and grade reported but contained metal not calculated or disclosed — incomplete reporting.

Why it applies: contained\_metal was not reported

**PEA-Supporting**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Resource estimate prepared to support a Preliminary Economic Assessment — early-stage study.

Why it applies: the release names the study this estimate supports

**Stale Estimate**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Effective date is &gt;2 years old — data currency concern, may not reflect current geological understanding.

Why it applies: effective date is 3.7 years before this release

## 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.
