## Minestarters Atlas summary

K2 Gold provided an update on its 14,000m RC drill program at the Mojave Project in California, noting that 574.5m across three holes has been completed at the Dragonfly target. No new assay results were released, as samples are currently being prepared for shipment to an independent laboratory.

Reasoning: The announcement is a progress update on an ongoing drill program. While it lacks new assay results, it confirms the program is proceeding as planned and is fully funded.

- Positive factor: Fully funded 14,000m RC drill program

- Positive factor: Drilling progressing well at Dragonfly target

- Positive factor: QA/QC protocols including 10% certified standards mentioned

- Negative factor: No new assay results reported in this update \(pending receipt\)

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**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 certified standards inserted into the sample stream at no less than 10% volume.

Evidence · text

> Certified standards have been inserted into the sample stream at no less than 10% of the total sample volume.

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery.

Why it applies: Current program is designed to follow up on 2020 results to test continuity.

Evidence · text

> The initial 16 holes at Dragonfly have been designed to follow up on encouraging results from K2's 2020 drill program

#### 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

**Stale Data Re-release**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Historical results re-announced with no new assays or reinterpretation — low genuine novelty.

Why it applies: the fact restates a prior release

**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: "Detailed sampling and geological mapping were completed on the Morningstar Trend, a 750m wide x 2km long northwest trend"

## 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.
