# Kirkland Lake Discoveries Intersects 1.22 g/t Au over 69.5 m at New "Mirado West" Zone, Doubling Gold Footprint to over 1,300 m Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/kirkland-lake-discoveries-intersects-1-22-g-t-au-over-69-5-m-at-new-mirado-west--00c0a838-65a3-4bb9-a0ed-3c06ba4dc5b5 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/KLDC/news/8763634374120182/kirkland-lake-discoveries-intersects-1-22-g-t-au-over-69-5-m-at-new-mirado-west- Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-09-02T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Kirkland Lake Discoveries Corp. - Ticker: KLDC - Exchange: TSX - Region: Ontario - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-16 06:25:12 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Kirkland Lake Discoveries has reported significant gold drill results from the new Mirado West zone, extending the project's mineralized footprint to over 1,300m. Key intercepts include 1.22 g/t Au over 69.5m and a high-grade 36.72 g/t Au intercept, validating the regional scale of the Mirado system. Reasoning: Significant step-out drilling at the Mirado project has extended the gold footprint by over 600m, doubling the lateral extent to 1,300m. The results include a high-grade 5.67 g/t Au intercept and a bonanza 36.72 g/t Au intercept, with clear QA/QC and compositing disclosures. - Positive factor: Step-Out Extension - Positive factor: Bonanza Intercept - Positive factor: QA/QC Disclosed - Positive factor: Compositing Transparent Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The drilling at Mirado West extends the known mineralization more than 600m west, doubling the footprint. Evidence · text > extending mineralization more than 600 m west **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: The 36.72 g/t Au intercept in KLM26-035 is exceptionally high grade. Evidence · table > 36.72 Context: 1.01 **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 the use of certified reference standards, blanks, and PhotonAssay technology. Evidence · text > Certified reference standards and blanks are inserted into the sample stream **Compositing Transparent** Polarity: positive Definition: Cut-off grade and internal dilution rules are clearly stated for reported intervals. Why it applies: The release explicitly states the 0.2 g/t Au cutoff and the 6.9m internal dilution rule. Evidence · text > nominal 0.2 g/t Au cutoff. To reflect continuity... up to 6.9 m of consecutive internal dilution ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6.

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.
