The company is also preparing for its maiden drilling campaign, which is targeted for March-April 2026 following permit applications. Reasoning: The announcement focuses on the commencement of a geophysical survey and preparations for a maiden drill campaign rather than reporting new assay results. - Positive factor: commencement of expanded DDIP geophysics program - Positive factor: targeting high-priority areas with no prior geophysics - Positive factor: maiden drill campaign preparations in progress - Positive factor: permits submitted for upcoming drilling - Negative factor: historical drill results mentioned are unverified by the company Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Story-specific tag Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: The company positions the project as being adjacent to some of the largest gold deposits in North America. Evidence · text > strategically located on a major Carlin-style gold trend and adjacent to some of the largest gold deposits in North America ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (4) ### Fact 1 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/lodestar-metals-scales-up-exploration-with-high-resolution-geophysics-at-goldrun--859e53ed-dbc6-4516-8d56-573f6d3369a5#fact-drill-facts-0) Goldrun · gold Historical result Needs review: drill\_no\_hole\_id #### Identity - Project: Goldrun - Commodity: gold - Region: usa\_nv - Reported Region: usa\_nv - Ticker: LSTR #### Geometry - Grade: 4.3 - Grade Unit: g/t - Intercept: 18 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill #### QA/QC - QP Signed: Yes - QA/QC Methods: standards #### Review - Needs Review: Yes - Review Reason: drill\_no\_hole\_id - Interp.

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.
