## Minestarters Atlas summary

Hannan Metals has reported high-grade gold and silver results from channel sampling at the Mirador Creek target within the Previsto project in Peru. The company also identified a new copper-rich zone and reported exceptionally high magmatic fertility indicators \(Sr/Y ratios\), supporting the potential for a large-scale porphyry-epithermal system.

Reasoning: The release reports high-grade surface results and geochemical indicators that suggest a large-scale porphyry-epithermal system, though it lacks drill-hole validation.

- Positive factor: High-grade gold and silver intercepts in channel samples

- Positive factor: Identification of a new copper zone footprint

- Positive factor: Strong magmatic fertility indicators \(Sr/Y ratio\)

- Positive factor: Presence of telluride signatures associated with high-grade systems

- Negative factor: Results are from surface rock chips and channels, not drill intercepts

- Negative factor: True widths are not yet known

Facts used in scoring: 6

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: New copper zone identified 1.2 km south of Previsto Central and 2 km south of previous copper zone.

Evidence · text

> highlighted a new copper zone developing 1.2 km south of Previsto Central gold zone and 2 km south of the previously reported copper zone

**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 use of CRMs, field duplicates, and 10% check samples analyzed by ALS.

Evidence · text

> including routine use of CRM and field duplicates as well as 10% check samples analyzed by ALS Lima

**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: Results are from rock chips and channels; true widths are explicitly stated as not known.

Evidence · text

> At this stage true widths of mineralization are not known.

## 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.
