# Decade Resources Reports up to 116.9 g/t Gold in Grab Sampling at the North Mitchell Property, Golden Triangle, BC Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/decade-resources-reports-up-to-116-9-g-t-gold-in-grab-sampling-at-the-north-mitc--aa0df8be-b8c5-4631-baf2-5d926e3fe6dd Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/DEC/news/7195014420412784/decade-resources-reports-up-to-116-9-g-t-gold-in-grab-sampling-at-the-north-mitc Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2025-12-04T13:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Decade Resources Ltd. - Ticker: DEC - Exchange: TSX - Region: British Columbia - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver, Copper, Lead, Zinc - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-09-15 19:07:53 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Decade Resources reported high-grade gold grab samples at the North Mitchell Property in British Columbia, with a peak intercept of 116.9 g/t Au and 161 g/t Ag. The property is located in the Golden Triangle, adjacent to major deposits like Brucejack and KSM. The company plans to expand its 2026 program to include saw-cuts and drilling. Reasoning: High-grade gold grab samples \(116.9 g/t\) in a highly prospective region \(Golden Triangle\) near major mines, though grab sampling lacks width and structural context. - Positive factor: Bonanza Intercept - Positive factor: Nearology Play - Positive factor: QA/QC Disclosed - Negative factor: Apparent Width Only Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source. Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 116.9 g/t Au is exceptionally high for an epithermal system. Evidence · text > 116.9 g/t Au **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 mentions MSA Labs, ISO 17025 compliance, and specific assay methods. Evidence · text > MSA Labs' quality system complies with the requirements for the international standards ISO 17025 **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: Results are from random grab samples with no width or structural orientation provided. Evidence · text > Width of the stockwork has not been determined. **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: Property is contiguous to Seabridge Gold's KSM and Newmont's Brucejack Mine. Evidence · text > The Property is contiguous to Seabridge Gold's KSM and Snowfield deposits and Newmont's Brucejack Mine ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6.

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.
