## Minestarters Atlas summary

GoldHaven Resources Corp. has reported progress from its maiden diamond drill program at the Magno Project in British Columbia, encountering broad skarn intervals and a down-dip extension at the historic Kuhn system. While current results are based on visual observations and portable XRF, they suggest a more continuous skarn package than historical records indicated. The company is also referencing historical tungsten intercepts and a non-compliant resource estimate as context for the exploration.

Reasoning: The company is conducting its first modern systematic drill program at a historic tungsten skarn system, encountering structural extensions and broader alteration than previously mapped.

- Positive factor: Discovery of down-dip extension of skarn unit

- Positive factor: Observation of broader skarn package than historical interpretation

- Positive factor: High-grade historical intercepts provide context for potential

- Negative factor: Current results are visual/XRF only; assays are pending

- Negative factor: Historical resource is not NI 43-101 compliant

Facts used in scoring: 5

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Drilling in hole GOH26-04 confirmed a down-dip extension into a previously unexplored part of the skarn unit.

Evidence · text

> A confirmed down-dip extension in the fourth hole, GOH26-04, into a part of the skarn unit never previously explored.

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery.

Why it applies: The program is designed to test geometry, continuity, and potential extensions of historically identified mineralization.

Evidence · text

> The initial phase is designed to test the geometry, continuity and potential extensions of historically identified tungsten-bearing skarn mineralization

**Historical Estimate Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Estimate pre-dates or does not comply with current JORC/NI 43-101 standards — requires verification drilling.

Why it applies: The document reports a historical estimate of 616,500 tonnes at 0.48% WO3 that pre-dates NI 43-101.

Evidence · text

> This is a historical estimate only and is not being treated as a current mineral resource.
