## Minestarters Atlas summary

Vertical Exploration Inc. completed its 2022 Phase 1 exploration program at the Ménard-Péribonka property in Quebec, confirming historical wollastonite mineralization and discovering new sites. Results included trenching and portable drilling intercepts with wollastonite grades ranging from 5% to 52.9%.

Reasoning: The 2022 Phase 1 program successfully confirmed historical wollastonite occurrences and identified new sites with significant grades \(up to 52.9% wollastonite\) using surface and portable drilling methods.

- Positive factor: Confirmation of historical mineralization

- Positive factor: Discovery of new mineralized sites

- Positive factor: Strong grades in trench and drill intercepts

- Negative factor: Mineralization is non-homogeneous and intercalated with barren rock

Facts used in scoring: 6

## 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 names a Qualified Person \(Jean-Paul Barrette, P.Geo\) and references NI 43-101 standards.

Evidence · text

> The technical information contained in this report has been reviewed and approved by Jean-Paul Barrette Géo/ P.Geo, an independent project geologist

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: New mineralized sites were found in both the northern part and other parts of the property.

Evidence · text

> new wollastonite mineralized sites were found both in the northern part and in other parts of the Menard property

## 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.
