## Minestarters Atlas summary

Fokus Mining Corporation has released gold price sensitivity results for its Galloway gold project in Quebec. The analysis shows that at a gold price of US$2,300/oz, the inferred resource expands to 2.71 million ounces, compared to 1.4 million ounces at US$1,750/oz.

Reasoning: The sensitivity analysis demonstrates significant resource expansion potential at higher gold prices, effectively de-risking the project's economics under current market conditions.

- Positive factor: Significant resource leverage to gold price

- Positive factor: Inferred resource increases from 1.4 Moz to 2.71 Moz at US$2,300/oz

- Positive factor: NI 43-101 compliant

- Positive factor: QP sign-off provided

- Negative factor: Sensitivity analysis does not assess open pit potential

Facts used in scoring: 3

## Classification and evidence

**NI 43-101 Compliant**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard.

Why it applies: The resource estimate is explicitly stated as NI 43-101 compliant.

Evidence · text

> initial NI 43-101 Mineral Resource estimate

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: The reported resource is in the inferred category.

Evidence · text

> inferred resources would be estimated at 2.71 million ounces

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

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: Gilles Laverdière, a Qualified Person, has reviewed and approved the disclosure.

Evidence · text

> reviewed and approved by Gilles Laverdière, P. Geo.

## 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.
