# EraNova Metals Reports Samples of up to 257 g/t Gold and 3,660 g/t Silver at Lakeview and Defines New Drill Target on the Ruby Creek Property Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/eranova-metals-reports-samples-of-up-to-257-g-t-gold-and-3-660-g-t-silver-at-lak--1679cbda-ccc1-4580-827f-20f447b9ee6e Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/NOVA/news/4651309223450821/eranova-metals-reports-samples-of-up-to-257-g-t-gold-and-3-660-g-t-silver-at-lak Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-03-02T12:57:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: EraNova Metals Inc. - Ticker: NOVA - Exchange: TSX - Region: British Columbia - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver, Lead, Zinc, Tungsten, Copper - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-14 15:02:34 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary EraNova Metals has reported high-grade gold and silver surface samples at the Ruby Creek Project in British Columbia, including up to 257 g/t Au and 3,660 g/t Ag at the Lakeview target. The results, derived from grab and channel sampling, have defined a new drill target and expanded known mineralization at Little Edna and the BDX trend. Reasoning: High-grade surface intercepts \(257 g/t Au\) at a new target area provide significant exploration upside, though sampling method \(grab/float\) limits geological confidence. - Positive factor: High-grade gold and silver surface samples - Positive factor: Identification of new drill target - Positive factor: Visible native gold observed - Negative factor: Results are from selective grab and float samples which may not be representative Facts used in scoring: 8 ## 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 mentions all results passed laboratory QA/QC screening and names Bureau Veritas as the lab. Evidence · text > All results passed laboratory QA/QC screening. **QP/CP Signed** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience. Why it applies: Mr. Nicholas Clive Aspinall, M.Sc., P.Eng., is named as the Qualified Person who verified the data. Evidence · text > Mr. Aspinall has verified the data disclosed in this press release **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The results expanded mineralization at Little Edna and along the BDX trend. Evidence · text > expanded mineralization at Little Edna and along the BDX trend ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 8.

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.
