## Minestarters Atlas summary

Blossom Gold has filed a Notice of Intent with the USBLM to begin resource expansion and confirmation drilling at the Rosebud Project in Nevada. The program includes 80,000 feet of drilling targeting both open pit resource upgrades and underground targets, with metallurgical sampling prioritized for the second half of March 2026.

Reasoning: The filing of a Notice of Intent \(NOI\) is a key regulatory milestone to begin drilling for resource expansion and metallurgical testing at the Rosebud Project.

- Positive factor: Notice of Intent filed to initiate resource expansion

- Positive factor: Planned drilling includes both resource and metallurgical sampling

- Positive factor: Existing underground infrastructure \(portal/decline\) to be rehabilitated

- Positive factor: Clear timeline for surface and underground campaigns

- Negative factor: Resource is currently 100% Inferred

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: The current resource is stated as 70.755 million tons of Inferred Mineral Resource.

Evidence · text

> hosts an Inferred Mineral Resource of 70.755 million tons

**All Inferred**

Polarity: negative

Definition: M&amp;I share below the weak bound — very early stage, no engineering confidence.

Why it applies: The entire resource is categorized as Inferred.

Evidence · text

> hosts an Inferred Mineral Resource of 70.755 million tons

## 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.
