## Minestarters Atlas summary

Riley Gold Corp. has commenced its 2025 exploration program at the PWC Gold Project in Nevada, operated by Kinross Gold. The program targets new high-priority areas identified through geologic modeling and soil anomalies, following the successful completion of a deep framework hole \(PW1-24\) that confirmed favorable host lithologies.

Reasoning: The announcement details the commencement of a 2025 exploration program and highlights successful previous deep drilling that confirms host lithologies, providing a strong foundation for new step-out targets.

- Positive factor: New high-priority drill targets identified

- Positive factor: Successful completion of deep framework hole PW1-24

- Positive factor: Strategic partnership with Kinross Gold

- Positive factor: Proximity to major Cortez district producers

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: New 2025 drill holes are being spotted 2.5 km northwest of the previous Kinross drill hole to target new anomalies.

Evidence · text

> The new step-out wide spaced framework drill holes are being spotted approximately 2.5 km \(up to 8,200 feet\) northwest of the first Kinross drill hole

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: The project is located in the Cortez district, adjoining NGM's Pipeline complex and targeting similar geology.

Evidence · text

> adjoining Riley Gold's PWC boundary... similar to that of local large gold deposits like the Fourmile discovery and the Cortez Complex

**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 is reviewed and approved by a Qualified Person \(Richard DeLong, P.Geo\).

Evidence · text

> This news release has been reviewed and approved by Richard DeLong, P.Geo., Director of Riley Gold and a 'qualified person'

Reasoning: The hole successfully intercepted a thick section of structurally complex carbonates, confirming the geological model for the district.

- Positive factor: Confirmed presence of host lithologies at depth

Evidence · text

> PW24-01 successfully intercepted a 1,251 foot \(380 m\) thick structurally complex section of lower-plate carbonates starting at a depth of 2,346 feet \(715 m\)

#### 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.
