## Minestarters Atlas summary

GoldQuest has reported a high-grade polymetallic discovery at the Cachimbo target in the Dominican Republic. Drill hole TIR-26-58 intersected a new parallel structure with significant gold, copper, silver, and zinc grades, including a high-grade core of 3.59 m at 17.63 g/t AuEq.

Reasoning: The intercept TIR-26-58 represents a significant high-grade discovery of a new parallel structure at the Cachimbo target, expanding the known mineralized footprint.

- Positive factor: High-grade polymetallic intercept

- Positive factor: Discovery of new parallel structure

- Positive factor: Significant expansion of footprint

- Positive factor: QA/QC protocols disclosed

- Negative factor: Apparent width only \(true width not stated\)

- Negative factor: Assays for second half of hole pending

Facts used in scoring: 14

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The intercept confirms a new mineralized parallel structure, expanding the footprint.

Evidence · text

> confirms a new mineralized parallel structure, significantly expanding the potential footprint

**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 includes detailed QA/QC procedures, including standards, blanks, and duplicates.

Evidence · text

> QA/QC included the insertion and continual monitoring of numerous standards, blanks and duplicates

**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: The document states intervals may not represent true widths and orientation is unknown.

Evidence · text

> Intervals may not represent true widths. There is insufficient drilling to determine the exact orientation

Reasoning: Expanded from assay table. 128.88 g/t silver is moderate against the default band \[500, 200, 100, 30\] g/t. Grade×width 462.7 g/t·m is weak \(grade alone is moderate; the better of the two is used\).

- Negative factor: Scored from rubric bands during table expansion, not from document context.

#### Tags used in scoring

**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

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

**Metal Equivalent Opaque**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Metal equivalent grade reported without disclosing the price, recovery, or payability assumptions used. Requires an actual metal equivalent grade; a combined elemental basket such as PGE is not a metal equivalent.

Why it applies: an equivalent grade is reported without its assumptions

Reasoning: Expanded from assay table. 0.65 % lead is below against the default band \[10, 6, 3, 1\] %. Grade×width 2.3 %·m is below.

- Negative factor: 0.65 % lead is below the weak threshold \(1 %\) on the default band.

- Negative factor: Scored from rubric bands during table expansion, not from document context.

## 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.
