## Minestarters Atlas summary

Kodiak Copper Corp. announced high-grade copper and gold drill results from its first program at the Ketchan deposit within the MPD project in British Columbia. Hole AG-26-019 intersected 0.70% CuEq over 283.5 metres, including 1.02% CuEq over 108 metres, representing the best result ever reported at Ketchan. These near-surface results are expected to significantly contribute to resource growth and an updated Mineral Resource Estimate planned for Q1 2027.

Reasoning: Kodiak Copper's first drill program at the Ketchan deposit has yielded exceptional near-surface, high-grade copper and gold intercepts, particularly in hole AG-26-019, which is described as the best ever at the deposit. These results are highly material as they confirm and expand mineralization, contributing to future resource growth. The novelty is high given it's the initial program at this specific deposit. Confidence is strong due to robust QA/QC and QP sign-off, though the lack of true width determination introduces some uncertainty.

- Positive factor: High-grade copper and gold intersection in AG-26-019, described as the best ever at Ketchan.

- Positive factor: Near-surface mineralization, which is favorable for potential open-pit mining.

- Positive factor: First drill program at the Ketchan deposit, establishing new mineralization and expanding the known footprint.

- Positive factor: Results are anticipated to contribute to resource growth and an updated MRE in Q1 2027.

- Positive factor: Clear disclosure of metal equivalent assumptions, QA/QC procedures, and QP sign-off.

- Negative factor: True width of mineralization is not yet determined, which may overstate apparent lengths.

Facts used in scoring: 35

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: The intercept of 0.83% Cu, 0.20 g/t Au and 3.20 g/t Ag \(1.02% CuEq\) over 108 metres in AG-26-019 is exceptionally high-grade for a porphyry deposit, well above the strong threshold for copper and gold, and is described by the company as the 'best intersection ever reported at Ketchan'.

Evidence · table

> 1.02

Context: 108

**True Width Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length.

Why it applies: The document explicitly states that 'Drilling data to date is insufficient to determine true width of mineralization', indicating that true width is not provided.

Evidence · text

> Drilling data to date is insufficient to determine true width of mineralization.

**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 core samples are delivered to accredited laboratory Activation Laboratories Ltd. \(Actlabs\), which meets ISO/IEC 17025:2015 and ISO 9001:2015 standards, and that Kodiak implements an internal QA/QC program including blanks, duplicates, and certified reference materials. Dave Skelton, P.Geo., a Qualified Person, has approved and verified the technical information.

Evidence · text

> All core samples are delivered to accredited laboratory Activation Laboratories Ltd. \(Actlabs\) Kamloops, BC, for preparation and Fire Assay prior to being shipped to their Ancaster, Ontario Laboratory for Multi-element analysis. ... Actlabs meets all requirements of International Standards ISO/IEC 17025:2015 and ISO 9001:2015 for analytical procedures. In addition to Actlabs quality assurance-quality control \(QA/QC\) protocols, Kodiak implements an internal QA/QC program that includes the insertion of sample blanks, duplicates, and certified reference materials, at a rate of one per ten samples. Dave Skelton, P.Geo., Vice President Exploration and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has approved and verified the technical information in this news release.

**Metal Equivalent Opaque**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Metal equivalent grade reported without disclosing the price, recovery, or payability assumptions used. Requires an actual metal equivalent grade; a combined elemental basket such as PGE is not a metal equivalent.

Why it applies: The document explicitly states the metallurgical recovery assumptions \(82% Cu, 60% Au, 54% Ag\) and metal prices \(US$4.75/lb Cu, US$3,500/oz Au, US$40/oz Ag\) used in the copper equivalent calculations.

Evidence · text

> Metallurgical recovery is assumed as 82% for copper, 60% for gold and 54% for silver as determined by Kodiak metallurgical testing as stated in the Mineral Resource Estimate \(see News Release June 25, 2025\). Metal prices used in calculations are: US$4.75/lb copper, US3,500/oz gold, and US40/oz silver

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: The document states that holes AG-26-005, AG-26-006, AG-26-009 and AG-26-019 were drilled as 'infill holes within the main body of the Ketchan deposit where tighter drill spacing was required'.

Evidence · text

> Holes AG-26-005, AG-26-006, AG-26-009 and AG-26-019 were drilled as infill holes within the main body of the Ketchan deposit where tighter drill spacing was required

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The drill program is described as 'targeting gaps and potential extensions' and 'drilling beyond the northwestern and southeastern ends of the Ketchan deposit is aimed at expanding the resource footprint'.

Evidence · text

> drilling is focused on shallow holes, targeting gaps and potential extensions.

**Resource Update**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Revised estimate for an existing resource — compare to prior to assess progress.

Why it applies: The document explicitly states that 'results from the 2026 drill program will contribute to an updated MRE, planned in Q1 2027'.

## 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.
