# Hanstone Gold Announces Doc Property Mineral Resource Estimate with a Middle Range of 172,000 Tonnes Containing 15.1 g/t Au and 65.2 g/t Ag Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/hanstone-gold-announces-doc-property-mineral-resource-estimate-with-a-middle-ran--b10be96a-6b73-4ae6-9556-25bd3236dd4f Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/HANS/news/5490915725798802/hanstone-gold-announces-doc-property-mineral-resource-estimate-with-a-middle-ran Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2024-03-21T12:30:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Hanstone Gold Corp - Ticker: HANS - Exchange: TSX - Region: British Columbia - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver - Document categories: Resource update, Drill results - Extracted: 2026-09-18 03:23:16 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Hanstone Gold has announced its first NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate for the Doc Property in British Columbia. The maiden Inferred resource features high grades, including 15.06 g/t Au at a 7 g/t AuEq cut-off, and is supported by strong metallurgical recovery results. Reasoning: The announcement of a maiden NI 43-101 compliant Inferred resource at the Doc Property is a significant milestone, demonstrating high-grade continuity and strong metallurgical potential, though it remains in the early exploration stage. - Positive factor: Maiden resource establishment - Positive factor: High-grade intercepts \(15.06 g/t Au at 7 g/t AuEq\) - Positive factor: Excellent continuity across cut-offs - Positive factor: High metallurgical recovery \(95.3%\) - Positive factor: NI 43-101 compliant - Negative factor: 100% Inferred status \(no Indicated/Measured\) Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **Maiden Resource** Polarity: neutral Definition: First formal MRE for the project — establishes baseline but typically exploration-stage with high Inferred component. No prior estimate exists, so every change band is not applicable. Why it applies: The release describes the 'initial NI 43-101 compliant gold and silver Mineral Resource Estimate'. Evidence · text > initial NI 43-101 compliant gold and silver Mineral Resource Estimate **All Inferred** Polarity: negative Definition: M&I share below the weak bound — very early stage, no engineering confidence. Why it applies: The entire resource is classified as Inferred. Evidence · text > The Inferred MRE contains 114,000 ounces of gold **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 is explicitly stated to be NI 43-101 compliant. Evidence · text > initial NI 43-101 compliant gold and silver Mineral Resource Estimate **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: Eugene Puritch, P.Eng., has reviewed and approved the technical contents. Evidence · text > Eugene Puritch, P.Eng., FEC, CET, President of P&E Mining Consultants Inc. and independent Qualified Person, has reviewed and approved the technical contents **Cut-off Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison. Why it applies: The 3.0 g/t AuEq cut-off is clearly stated. Evidence · text > A cut-off value of 3.0 g/t AuEq was used to quantify the Mineral Resource Estimate ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4.

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.
