The program targets several high-priority gold-silver prospects, including Robbers Knob and Crown North, using historical drill data and geophysical anomalies to guide exploration. Reasoning: The company is announcing the start of a drill program based on historical data. While the news is a positive operational milestone, the actual drill results are not yet available, and the targeting relies on unverified historical intercepts. - Positive factor: Commencement of maiden drill program - Positive factor: High-grade historical intercepts cited as targets - Positive factor: Permit approval received - Negative factor: Historical data used for targeting has not been verified - Negative factor: Limited QA/QC information for historical intercepts Facts used in scoring: 9 ## Classification and evidence **No QA/QC Disclosure** Polarity: negative Story-specific tag 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: The release explicitly states that historical intercepts have not been verified and information regarding sampling methodologies and QAQC protocols is limited. Evidence · text > The intercept has not been previously verified by the Company, and there is limited available information regarding sampling methodologies, analytical procedures, and associated QAQC protocols. **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: The 1.5m at 130.5 g/t Au intercept is exceptionally high grade. Evidence · text > 1.5m at 130.5 g/t Au ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 9. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (9) ### Fact 1 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/lodestar-metals-commences-maiden-drill-program-at-gold-run-project-nevada--67289eaf-6ff7-4f11-8453-77e416df05a2#fact-drill-facts-0) Gold Run · gold Historical result Needs review: drill\_no\_hole\_id #### Identity - Project: Gold Run - Commodity: gold - Region: usa\_nv - Reported Region: usa\_nv - Ticker: LSTR #### Geometry - Grade: 4.3 - Grade Unit: g/t - Intercept: 18.3 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill #### Location - Location: Robbers Knob - Loc.
