## Minestarters Atlas summary

Almadex provided an update on its Paradise Project in Nevada, reporting two low-grade gold intercepts from the third scout hole. The drilling program has been paused after the fourth hole was lost due to difficult ground conditions, and the company plans to move its rig to the New Hope porphyry project in Arizona next.

Reasoning: The release reports low-grade gold intercepts from a scout program and announces a drilling pause due to a lost hole, though it maintains a positive long-term porphyry target outlook.

- Positive factor: geochemically anomalous zones intersected

- Positive factor: indicative of a large porphyry system

- Negative factor: drilling program paused

- Negative factor: fourth hole lost due to poor conditions

- Negative factor: drilling has not yet been successful in cutting into the core of the system

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**No QA/QC Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document.

Why it applies: Incorrect, QA/QC is disclosed via ALS Chemex, blanks, duplicates, and standards.

Evidence · text

> Blanks, field duplicates and certified standards were inserted into the sample stream

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: The company is targeting porphyry lithocap alteration zones to vector towards buried porphyry deposits.

Evidence · text

> Many of these projects cover large porphyry lithocap alteration zones that may conceal buried porphyry deposits

## 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.
