## Minestarters Atlas summary

K2 Gold announced significant drill results from four holes at its 100% owned Mojave Project, confirming multiple stacked high-grade oxide gold structures at the Dragonfly Zone. Highlights include 27.43m of 4.08 g/t Au and 3.05m of 17.55 g/t Au, extending mineralization 40m west of previous discoveries. The company also reported progress on its fully permitted 14,000m drill campaign and disclosed comprehensive QA/QC procedures.

Reasoning: K2 Gold announced strong drill results from its Mojave Project, confirming and extending high-grade oxide gold mineralization with multiple significant intercepts, including bonanza grades. The successful step-back drilling indicates a robust and open mineralized system. While QA/QC is well-disclosed, the lack of true width information and presence of deleterious elements are noted.

- Positive factor: High-grade gold intercepts, including bonanza grades.

- Positive factor: Confirmation of multiple stacked high-grade oxide gold structures.

- Positive factor: Successful 40m step-back drilling extends mineralization.

- Positive factor: Mineralization remains open in all directions, indicating further potential.

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

- Negative factor: True thickness of mineralization is currently unknown, potentially overstating apparent widths.

- Negative factor: Presence of elevated deleterious elements \(arsenic, antimony, thallium\) noted.

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm.

Why it applies: The intercept of 3.05m at 17.55 g/t Au in hole DF26-024 is exceptionally high-grade for an oxide gold system, well above the typical thresholds for open-pit gold deposits.

Evidence · table

> 17.55

Context: 3.05

**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 explicitly states that '\*Reported widths are from angled drill holes and are drilled/apparent widths; true thickness of mineralization is currently unknown.', indicating that true widths are not provided.

Evidence · table

> \*Reported widths are from angled drill holes and are drilled/apparent widths; true thickness of mineralization is currently unknown.

Context: \*Reported widths are from angled drill holes and are drilled/apparent widths; true thickness of mineralization is currently unknown.

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The drill holes were 'drilled off the second pad... designed to target the down-dip and lateral extension of the exceptional 2020 intercept' and represent a '40m step back to the west of K2’s 2020 discovery intercept'.

Evidence · text

> 40m step back to the west of K2’s 2020 discovery intercept

**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 details that technical information was prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and reviewed by a QP, analytical work was performed by ALS Laboratories \(an accredited provider\), and QA/QC procedures included inserting blanks and certified assay standards.

Evidence · text

> The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements set out in NI 43-101 and reviewed and approved by Eric Buitenhuis, M.Sc., P.Geo., K2’s QP and Vice President of Exploration. The analytical work for the 2026 drilling program was performed by ALS Laboratories \(“ALS”\) an internationally recognized and accredited analytical services provider. All samples were submitted to ALS’s Reno, Nevada facility, where they were prepared using procedure PREP-31Y \(dry, crush entire sample to 2mm, rotary split and pulverize 250g to better than 85% passing 75 microns\). Samples were then shipped to the ALS laboratory in North Vancouver, BC, Canada, where pulp samples were analysed for gold by method Au-ICP21, a 30-gram Fire Assay fusion with an ICP-AES finish. Samples returning >10 g/t Au by Fire Assay were subsequently analysed with method Au-GRA21, a 30-gram fire assay with a gravimetric finish. A 0.25g pulp was analysed by method ME-MS61, a 4-acid digestion and ICP-MS finish for 48 elements. Quality Assurance and Quality Control procedures include inserting coarse blanks and certified assay standards into the sample string at a rate of approximately 1/10 \(10%\).

**Deleterious Elements Present**

Polarity: negative

Definition: A source-stated penalty, refractory or recovery concern in the fact's scope. Element detection alone, including measured elements explicitly below penalty thresholds, does not trigger this tag. Respect negation and retain a separately stated concern even when another risk is explicitly absent.

Why it applies: The document states that 'Geochemical associations to Au include elevated As, Ag, Sb, Tl'.

Evidence · text

> Geochemical associations to Au include elevated As, Ag, Sb, Tl

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results.

Why it applies: The document highlights the project's proximity to other known targets, stating 'The Dragonfly Zone is located 1.5km south of the undrilled Gold Valley target... 2km north of the Newmont target, and midway along the >6.5km long Eastside Gold Trend'.

Evidence · text

> The Dragonfly Zone is located 1.5km south of the undrilled Gold Valley target \(rock samples to 375 g/t Au\), 2km north of the Newmont target, and midway along the >6.5km long Eastside Gold Trend

Reasoning: This deeper intercept shows the presence of gold mineralization, albeit at a lower grade, extending the known mineralized footprint.

- Positive factor: Indicates continued mineralization at deeper levels.

- Negative factor: Lower grade compared to other intercepts.

- Negative factor: True thickness unknown.

#### 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

**Deleterious Elements Present**

Polarity: negative

Definition: A source-stated penalty, refractory or recovery concern in the fact's scope. Element detection alone, including measured elements explicitly below penalty thresholds, does not trigger this tag. Respect negation and retain a separately stated concern even when another risk is explicitly absent.

Why it applies: deleterious\_flag is true

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results.

Why it applies: proximity is offered as the value premise: "Read More August 18, 2026 07:00 ET \| Source: K2 Gold Corporation K2 Drills High-Grade Gold at Mojave Project: DF26-020 3"

## 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.
