The campaign targets the depth extension of the Faina orebody and an untested upper-level extension of Orebody A \(the A/SE2 lens\) using a new 80-metre exploration drift. Reasoning: The announcement details the commencement of a new underground drilling program targeting high-potential, untested extensions of existing orebodies, which represents a significant exploration opportunity within an operating mine. - Positive factor: Targeting untested high-grade zones - Positive factor: Access via new underground exploration drift - Positive factor: Potential for in-mine growth within existing infrastructure - Positive factor: Strong historical metallurgical performance in Orebody A - Negative factor: Assay results for the Faina depth extension are still pending Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The program targets the A/SE2 lens, described as an upper-level extension of orebody A that has never been systematically drill-tested. Evidence · text > upper-level extension of orebody A, referred to as the A/SE2 lens, that has never been systematically drill-tested. **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: The release names a Qualified Person \(Armando José Massucatto\) and references NI 43-101 standards. Evidence · text > reviewed and approved by Armando José Massucatto, Geologist, PhD, General Manager of Exploration for Jaguar Mining, and a "Qualified Person" as defined by National Instrument 43-101 ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 1.

Status: scored - Historical: No #### Dates - Event date: 2026-09-22T00:00:00.000Z Reasoning: Completed drilling work where results are still being processed. - Negative factor: Assays not yet released Evidence · text > To date, seven drillholes \(2024m in total\) have been completed testing the depth extension of the Faina orebody down to the 640m level. Core logging and sampling are underway, with assay results to be released in due course. #### Tags used in scoring **No QA/QC Disclosure** Polarity: negative Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document. Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is not 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 ## 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.
