## Minestarters Atlas summary

Reasoning: The release reports encouraging geochemical sampling results that extend known mineralization and define new targets, though the project remains in the early exploration stage.

- Positive factor: High-grade rock samples \(3.64 g/t Au\) at Alpha Zone

- Positive factor: Identification of a large \(800 x 400m\) geochemical anomaly at Zulu target

- Positive factor: Validation of the X-Ray – Alpha – Tango corridor

- Positive factor: Strategic proximity to existing mines \(Gold Rock, Pan Mine\)

- Negative factor: Early-stage exploration project with no mineral resource estimate yet

Facts used in scoring: 3

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Rock samples were collected 190m east of the current Alpha drill pattern, representing an opportunity to extend mineralization.

Evidence · text

> The samples were collected 190 metres to the East of the current drill pattern at Alpha, representing a logical and straightforward opportunity to extend mineralization

**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: The release names a Qualified Person \(Vance Spalding, CPG\) and references NI 43-101 compliance.

Evidence · text

> reviewed and approved by Vance Spalding, CPG, VP Exploration, Contact Gold, who is a “qualified person” within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101

**Near Near-Mine**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: No canonical definition is currently available.

Why it applies: The project is located 7km from the Gold Rock project and 20km from the Pan Mine.

Evidence · text

> Green Springs is strategically located 7 km immediately east of the Gold Rock project

#### Review

- Needs Review: No
- Interp. Status: scored
- Historical: No

#### Dates

- Event date: 2023-12-05T00:00:00.000Z

Reasoning: High grade rock sample reported at Alpha Zone.

- Positive factor: Highest grade rock sample in the database

#### Tags used in scoring

**No QA/QC Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document.

Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is not true

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

**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: deleterious\_flag is true

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results.

Why it applies: proximity is offered as the value premise: "Green Springs is strategically located 7 km immediately east of the Gold Rock project operated by Calibre Mining Corp."

## 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.
