# Banyan Gold Confirms New Gold-Silver Discovery at Seattle Creek with 5.70 g/t Au and 544 g/t Ag over 0.5m, Nitra Project, Yukon Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/banyan-gold-confirms-new-gold-silver-discovery-at-seattle-creek-with-5-70-g-t-au--25c1d5c7-63e0-4c64-9162-952bfa024b01 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/BYN/news/8790226225085294/banyan-gold-confirms-new-gold-silver-discovery-at-seattle-creek-with-5-70-g-t-au Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-08-25T10:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Banyan Gold Corp - Ticker: BYN - Exchange: TSX - Region: Yukon - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-09-15 14:32:09 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Banyan Gold has confirmed a new high-grade gold-silver discovery at the Seattle Creek zone within its Nitra Project in the Yukon. Drillhole NT-26-006 returned an intercept of 0.5m at 5.70 g/t Au and 544 g/t Ag, with visible gold and associated sulphides observed in the core. Reasoning: First drillhole at Seattle Creek confirms high-grade gold \(5.7 g/t\) and silver \(544 g/t\) in a greenfield setting, though only a fraction of the hole has been assayed. - Positive factor: high-grade gold and silver intercept - Positive factor: visible gold confirmed - Positive factor: greenfield discovery - Negative factor: only top 95m assayed - Negative factor: deleterious elements \(arsenic, bismuth\) noted Facts used in scoring: 8 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 5.70 g/t Au and 544 g/t Ag over 0.5m is exceptionally high grade. Evidence · text > 5.70 g/t Au and 544 g/t Ag over 0.5m **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 certified labs \(Bureau Veritas, AGAT\) and QA/QC methods \(standards, blanks, duplicates\). Evidence · text > consisting of the insertion of certified reference materials, field duplicates and coarse blanks **Deleterious Elements Present** Polarity: negative Definition: A source-stated penalty, refractory or recovery concern in the fact's scope. Element detection alone, including measured elements explicitly below penalty thresholds, does not trigger this tag. Respect negation and retain a separately stated concern even when another risk is explicitly absent. Why it applies: Presence of bismuth sulphosalts and arsenopyrite noted in the mineralization. Evidence · text > associated bismuth sulphosalts and arsenopyrite ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 8.

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.
