## Minestarters Atlas summary

Arizona Metals Corp. reported high-grade drill results from the Kay2 Zone at the Kay Project, featuring a 29.6 m intercept at 10.7 g/t AuEq. The results include the project's third-highest gold assay of 35.8 g/t Au and will be incorporated into an upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate.

Reasoning: The intercept of 29.6 m @ 10.7 g/t AuEq is a high-grade, significant width result for a VMS deposit, supported by robust QA/QC and QP sign-off.

- Positive factor: High-grade gold intercept

- Positive factor: Significant AuEq width

- Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed

- Positive factor: QP signed

- Negative factor: True width not explicitly stated \(estimated as 50-99%\)

Facts used in scoring: 6

## Classification and evidence

**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 includes QA/QC disclosure regarding blind standards, blanks, and ALS laboratory accreditation.

Evidence · text

> includes the insertion of blind standard reference materials and blanks at regular intervals.

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

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: David Smith, CPG, is named as the Qualified Person who reviewed and approved the technical disclosure.

Evidence · text

> The qualified person who reviewed and approved the technical disclosure in this release is David Smith , CPG

**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 true width is not explicitly stated, only estimated as a percentage of the reported core width.

Evidence · text

> The true width of mineralization is estimated to be 50% to 99% of reported core width

## 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.
