## Minestarters Atlas summary

Silver Grail Resources reported 2018 surface exploration results across its Pacifico, Roman, and Kobald properties. Key highlights include highly anomalous cobalt and manganese values at Pacifico and the successful extension of cobalt-nickel anomalies at the Roman property.

Reasoning: The release reports successful geochemical extension and several anomalous surface samples, though no drill intercepts are provided to confirm depth or scale.

- Positive factor: highly anomalous cobalt values in soil and streams

- Positive factor: extension of cobalt-nickel anomalies at Roman property

- Positive factor: identification of potential porphyry copper type mineralization

Facts used in scoring: 3

## Classification and evidence

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results.

Why it applies: The program targets anomalies identified by a BC Regional Geochemistry survey.

Evidence · text

> The principal target of these efforts was a stream from which a BC Regional Geochemistry survey had returned a value of 584 ppm cobalt

**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: The release names two accredited laboratories and a Qualified Person.

Evidence · text

> analyzed by Activation Laboratories Ltd. ... and SGS Canada Inc. ... Both are accredited laboratories. The Qualified Person ... is Dino Cremonese, P.Eng.

**Multi-Domain Tested**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Variability across ore domains \(oxide, transition, fresh\) has been addressed.

Why it applies: 3 distinct composites were tested

Reasoning: Manganese values are reported as high accompanying the cobalt anomalies.

- Positive factor: high values in manganese

Evidence · text

> high values in manganese, ranging from 0.5 to 5.6%

### Fact 3

[Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/2018-exploration-results--89f47587-5391-4c5e-b893-fea0ec13b689#fact-metallurgical-facts-2)

Pacifico · copper

#### Identity

- Project: Pacifico
- Commodity: copper
- Region: canada\_bc
- Reported Region: British Columbia
- Ticker: SVG

#### Test Work

- Sample: altered intrusive rock containing very minor amounts of malachite

Evidence · text

> returned an assay of 1.8% copper

## 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.
