## Minestarters Atlas summary

Altamira Gold has secured surface access to the western extension of the Cajueiro gold district in Brazil, including the high-priority Novo Sonho target. This access allows for systematic exploration and drilling to test gold-in-soil anomalies and extend the existing Maria Bonita porphyry resource.

Reasoning: Securing land access to a high-priority target \(Novo Sonho\) and the western extension of an existing resource \(Maria Bonita\) is a significant strategic milestone for exploration expansion.

- Positive factor: Secured surface access to high-priority Novo Sonho target

- Positive factor: Access enables systematic exploration of 58km2 area

- Positive factor: Novo Sonho shows significant gold-in-soil anomaly

- Positive factor: Proximity to existing Maria Bonita porphyry resource

Facts used in scoring: 6

## Classification and evidence

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

Story-specific tag

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

Why it applies: The Novo Sonho target is positioned as a high-priority target based on its proximity to the Maria Bonita porphyry deposit.

Evidence · text

> Novo Sonho is located approximately 3km west-southwest of Maria Bonita

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

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: Fernando Benegas, FAusIMM, supervised and approved the technical information.

Evidence · text

> Qualified Person Fernando Benegas, FAusIMM... supervised and approved the preparation of the technical information

## 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.
