# First Andes Delineates >1.2-km-Long Gold-in-Soil Anomaly, Santas Gloria Project, Peru Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/first-andes-delineates-1-2-km-long-gold-in-soil-anomaly-santas-gloria-project-pe--3f0099d0-9bc8-4447-bb91-97669792d749 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/FAS/news/8795455950813681/first-andes-delineates-1-2-km-long-gold-in-soil-anomaly-santas-gloria-project-pe Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-05-14T11:30:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: FIRST ANDES SILVER LTD. - Ticker: FAS - Exchange: TSX - Region: Peru - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-12 03:36:15 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary First Andes Silver has delineated a continuous gold-in-soil anomaly exceeding 1.2 km in length at the Santas Gloria Project in Peru. The anomaly features a higher-grade core of 0.1 to 0.6 ppm Au and is spatially coincident with mapped epithermal veins, providing high-priority targets for upcoming drilling. Reasoning: The delineation of a large, coherent gold anomaly in soil provides significant target generation for future drilling in an epithermal system. - Positive factor: Delineation of a continuous >1.2-km gold-in-soil anomaly - Positive factor: Presence of a higher-grade core \(>0.1 to >0.6 ppm Au\) - Positive factor: Spatial coincidence with mapped epithermal veins - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols disclosed including standards and blanks Facts used in scoring: 2 ## 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: The company stated they inserted certified reference materials, blanks and field duplicates into the sample stream. Evidence · text > The Company inserted certified reference materials, blanks and field duplicates into the sample stream **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: The anomaly is spatially coincident with mapped epithermal veins, positioning it as a high-priority target.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated ## 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.
