While a 1NT rebid is often used with 3-card support for responder's suit, it does not necessarily show that.\n\nResponder shows 5+ spades by bidding an unbid minor suit. This is New Minor Forcing and must be alerted.\n\nOpener doesn't have support for responder's major, nor does he have a stopper in the unbid suit (diamonds), nor does he have 4 of responder's artificial minor.\n\nOpener rebids his own suit, denying all other possibilities."}
