The 2026 program identified significant polymetallic mineralization across the H, B, Ignacio, and newly identified R-Zones. Reasoning: New surface sampling confirms high-grade silver, gold, and copper across multiple targets, expanding the known mineralized corridor. - Positive factor: High-grade silver intercepts \(up to 2,737 g/t\) - Positive factor: Widespread polymetallic mineralization confirmed - Positive factor: Identification of new R-Zone target - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols disclosed with accredited labs - Negative factor: Surface grab samples are selective and not necessarily representative Facts used in scoring: 9 ## Classification and evidence No classification tags are available. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 9. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (9) ### 606439 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/k2-generates-high-grade-silver-gold-and-copper-results-from-rock-samples-at-morn--23f39063-a0fa-4c55-8d84-0790cb3a6fc1#fact-drill-facts-0) Morningstar · gold #### Identity - Hole ID: 606439 - Project: Morningstar - Commodity: gold - Region: california - Reported Region: California - Ticker: KTO #### Geometry - Grade: 5.84 - Grade Unit: g/t #### Classification - Sample Type: surface #### Location - Location: H-ZONE - Loc.

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.
