## Minestarters Atlas summary

Arizona Metals Corp. has released final results from its 2025 reverse-circulation drill program at the Sugarloaf Peak Gold Project, featuring the highest gold grade to date \(25.5 g/t Au\). The drilling successfully expanded the deposit footprint to the south and confirmed mineralization continuity across several previously untested gaps.

Reasoning: The drill results demonstrate significant expansion of the gold deposit with high-grade intercepts and confirmed continuity, including the highest grade reported to date.

- Positive factor: highest gold grade on project to date

- Positive factor: step-out extension to the south

- Positive factor: confirmed continuity in previously untested areas

- Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed with certified lab

- Negative factor: true width not determined

Facts used in scoring: 10

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm.

Why it applies: 1.5 m @ 25.5 g/t Au is exceptionally high grade for the project.

Evidence · text

> 1.5 m @ 25.5 g/t Au, the highest gold grade on the property to date

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Hole 28 and 29 extended mineralization 80m to the south in a previously undrilled area.

Evidence · text

> extended mineralization approximately 80 m to the south in a previously undrilled area

**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 details QA/QC protocols including blind standards, blanks, and ALS laboratory accreditation.

Evidence · text

> quality assurance/quality control \("QA/QC"\) protocol which includes the insertion of blind standard reference materials and blanks

**Apparent Width Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness.

Why it applies: The document explicitly states that true width has not been determined.

Evidence · text

> The true width of mineralization has not been determined at this time.

## 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.
