# Churchill Discovers 20 Gold-Silver-Molybdenum-Lead-Zinc Veins Within a 150m Wide Swarm at Pomley Cove Pond, Black Raven Property Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/churchill-discovers-20-gold-silver-molybdenum-lead-zinc-veins-within-a-150m-wide--1d722911-ce2b-4b0f-b4b3-84f81c7d3e06 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/CRI/news/8339536289124177/churchill-discovers-20-gold-silver-molybdenum-lead-zinc-veins-within-a-150m-wide Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-02-25T12:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Churchill Resources Inc. - Ticker: CRI - Exchange: TSX - Region: Central Newfoundland - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver, Molybdenum, Lead, Zinc - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-13 19:01:54 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Churchill Resources has discovered a 150m wide polymetallic vein swarm at the Pomley Cove Pond area of the Black Raven Project. Initial drilling \(PC25-01 and PC25-02\) intersected at least 20 veins containing gold, silver, lead, zinc, and molybdenum. Reasoning: Significant discovery of a polymetallic vein swarm with high-grade gold and base metal intercepts in a new exploration area. - Positive factor: Discovery of 20 veins within a 150m wide swarm - Positive factor: Polymetallic signature \(Au-Ag-Mo-Pb-Zn\) consistent with orogenic systems - Positive factor: High-grade intercepts including 7.34 g/t Au and 4.77 g/t Au sub-intervals - Positive factor: Continuity suggested from surface trenches to subsurface drilling - Negative factor: Metal equivalent assumptions used without metallurgical studies Facts used in scoring: 8 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Discovery of a new vein swarm at Pomley Cove Pond within the Black Raven property. Evidence · text > Churchill Discovers 20 Gold-Silver-Molybdenum-Lead-Zinc Veins **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 specifies laboratory \(Eastern Analytical\) and assay protocols \(Au 30g fire assay and ICP 34\). Evidence · text > delivered to the Eastern Analytical \(EA\) laboratory in Springdale, NL, for crushing and pulverizing. Splits were analysed by Au 30g fire assay and ICP 34 protocols **Metal Equivalent Opaque** Polarity: negative Definition: Metal equivalent grade reported without disclosing the price, recovery, or payability assumptions used. Requires an actual metal equivalent grade; a combined elemental basket such as PGE is not a metal equivalent. Why it applies: Au Eq values are reported without disclosing the specific recovery factors or detailed assumptions in the primary text, though some price forecasts are provided. Evidence · text > Au Eq values were calculated using long-term metal price forecasts... as not metallurgical studies have been commissioned as yet ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 8. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (8) ### PC25-01 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/churchill-discovers-20-gold-silver-molybdenum-lead-zinc-veins-within-a-150m-wide--1d722911-ce2b-4b0f-b4b3-84f81c7d3e06#fact-drill-facts-0) Black Raven · gold #### Identity - Hole ID: PC25-01 - Project: Black Raven - Commodity: gold - Region: canada\_nl - Reported Region: canada\_nl - Ticker: CRI #### Geometry - Grade: 4.77 - Grade Unit: g/t - Intercept: 0.31 m - From: 65.74 m - To: 66.05 m - Intercept Depth: 65.74 m #### Classification - Deposit Type: orogenic - Program: exploration - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: PC25-01:65.74-66.05 - Mining Method: underground #### QA/QC - Laboratory: Eastern Analytical \(EA\) - QP Signed: Yes - QA/QC Methods: standards #### Review - Needs Review: No - Interp.

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.
