## Minestarters Atlas summary

Bonterra Resources has announced the discovery of the Hewfran Zone extension at its Desmaraisville South Project in Québec, located adjacent to the historical Bachelor Mine. The drill results include high-grade gold intercepts, such as 14.2 g/t Au over 0.7 m, and highlight the strategic potential to restart operations using existing permitted infrastructure.

Reasoning: Significant discovery of a gold zone extension adjacent to historical mine workings and existing mill infrastructure, supported by high-grade intercepts and robust QA/QC disclosure.

- Positive factor: Discovery of Hewfran Zone extension

- Positive factor: Proximity to existing Bachelor Mill infrastructure

- Positive factor: Consistent mineralization style with historical Bachelor Mine

- Positive factor: High-grade intercepts in Hewfran Zone

- Positive factor: QA/QC protocols disclosed with multiple labs and independent verification

- Negative factor: True widths not yet known

Facts used in scoring: 10

## 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 detailed QA/QC protocols, naming MSALABS, AGAT, and ALS, and mentioning blanks, standards, and duplicates.

Evidence · text

> The Desmaraisville South Project's drill core gold analyses were performed at the MSALABS and the AGAT Laboratories

**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 reported intervals represent drilled core lengths and true widths are not yet known.

Evidence · text

> Reported intervals represent drilled core lengths; true widths are not yet known.

## 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.
