## Minestarters Atlas summary

Yorbeau Resources confirmed historical high-grade zinc and copper mineralization at the KB project in Quebec, specifically intersecting 1.4m of 10.5% Zn and 0.9% Cu in hole KB-02. The program also identified a new prospective horizon \(KB south\) and outlined three high-priority targets using borehole geophysics and VTEM anomalies.

Reasoning: The drilling program successfully confirmed historical high-grade mineralization and identified new targets, supported by professional QA/QC and QP oversight.

- Positive factor: Confirmation of historical high-grade zinc and copper intercepts

- Positive factor: Discovery of a new prospective horizon \(KB south\)

- Positive factor: Identification of new high-priority targets via geophysics

- Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed with QP sign-off

Facts used in scoring: 8

## 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 mentions use of standards, duplicates, and replicates, and names a certified lab \(ACTLABS\).

Evidence · text

> appropriate standards, duplicates and replicates used for quality control purposes.

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

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: Sylvain Lépine, M.Sc, P.Geo is named as the Qualified Person who reviewed and approved the release.

Evidence · text

> He is a qualified person \(as defined by National Instrument 43-101\) and has reviewed and approved the content of this release.

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Discovery of a new prospective horizon \(KB south\) represents an extension of known mineralization.

Evidence · text

> Discovery of a new prospective horizon \(KB south horizon\)

## 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.
