## Minestarters Atlas summary

Founders Metals Inc. has upgraded its Lower Antino target to 'Advanced Target' status at its Antino Gold Project in southeastern Suriname, following new drill results. The program confirmed broad, continuous intrusion-hosted gold mineralization, highlighted by 65.9 metres of 1.16 g/t gold within a broader 115.0-metre interval of 0.83 g/t gold from surface in drill hole LA046. The mineralization remains open along strike and at depth, with further expansion drilling underway.

Reasoning: The new drill results confirm broad, continuous gold mineralization at Lower Antino, leading to an upgrade of the target to 'Advanced' status, which is a significant positive for the project's potential scale and future resource definition. The best intercept to date is material, and the program indicates expansion potential.

- Positive factor: Target upgraded to Advanced status, indicating increased confidence and potential scale.

- Positive factor: Broad, continuous gold mineralization confirmed across multiple drill holes.

- Positive factor: Best intercept to date \(65.9 m of 1.16 g/t Au\) demonstrates significant grade-width product.

- Positive factor: Mineralization remains open along strike and at depth, suggesting further growth potential.

- Positive factor: Comprehensive QA/QC procedures disclosed, including certified labs and QP sign-off.

- Negative factor: True width is an estimate \(85% of downhole interval\), not a measured value.

- Negative factor: Some reported intercepts are of lower grade, though within broader mineralized envelopes.

Why it applies: The release details QA/QC procedures, including certified laboratories \(FILAB Suriname, ALS Global Laboratories\) and a Qualified Person \(Michael Dufresne\) sign-off.

Evidence · text

> Quality Assurance and Control Samples were analyzed at FILAB Suriname, a Bureau Veritas Certified Laboratory in Paramaribo, Suriname \(a commercial certified laboratory under ISO 9001:2015\). Samples are crushed to 75% passing 2.35 mm screen, riffle split \(700 g\) and pulverized to 85% passing 88 µm. Samples were analyzed using a 50 g fire assay \(50 g aliquot\) with an Atomic Absorption \(AA\) finish. For samples that return assay values over 5.0 grams per tonne \(g/t\), another cut was taken from the original pulp and fire assayed with a gravimetric finish. Founders Metals inserts blanks and certified reference standards in the sample sequence for quality control. External QA-QC checks are performed at ALS Global Laboratories \(Geochemistry Division\) in Lima, Peru \(an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited facility\). A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples. Drill intervals with visible gold are assayed using metallic screening. Rock chip samples from outcrop/bedrock are selective by nature and may not be representative of the mineralization hosted on the project. Qualified Persons The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Michael Dufresne, M.Sc., P.Geol., P.Geo., an independent qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

Reasoning: This intercept is highly material, representing the best result to date and a key driver for the target upgrade, demonstrating strong grade and width for bulk tonnage potential.

- Positive factor: Strong gold grade \(1.16 g/t Au\) over a significant width \(65.9 m\) for an open-pit target.

- Positive factor: Identified as the 'best intercept to date' at the target, indicating high significance.

- Positive factor: Contributes strongly to the upgrade of the Lower Antino target to 'Advanced' status.

- Negative factor: True width is an estimate, not a measured value.

Reasoning: This historical higher-grade sub-interval within LA003 further enhances the prospectivity of the Lower Antino target.

- Positive factor: Strong gold grade \(2.36 g/t Au\) over a significant width \(26.0 m\) for an open-pit target.

- Negative factor: This is a previously released highlight, not new information.

- Negative factor: True width is an estimate, not a measured value.

- Positive factor: Moderate gold grade \(1.23 g/t Au\) over a good width \(24.0 m\) for an open-pit target.

- Negative factor: This is a previously released highlight, not new information.

- Negative factor: True width is an estimate, not a measured value.

#### Tags used in scoring

**True Width Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length.

Why it applies: true\_width\_m is 20.4

**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: qaqc\_disclosed is true

**Compositing Transparent**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Cut-off grade and internal dilution rules are clearly stated for reported intervals.

Why it applies: cutoff\_grade and internal dilution are both stated

**Stale Data Re-release**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Historical results re-announced with no new assays or reinterpretation — low genuine novelty.

Why it applies: the fact restates a prior release

## 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.
