## Minestarters Atlas summary

Great Pacific Gold Corp. reported maiden drilling results from the Kasie Ridge target at the Wild Dog Project, confirming a large magmatic-hydrothermal system. The program intersected gold-bearing structures in KAS-02 and a broad silver halo in KAS-01A, with strong geochemical vectors strengthening at depth.

Reasoning: The maiden drilling program successfully confirmed a large alteration system and intersected gold-bearing structures, providing strong geochemical and mineralogical vectors for future exploration.

- Positive factor: maiden drilling results

- Positive factor: confirmation of large magmatic-hydrothermal system

- Positive factor: gold presence in both holes

- Positive factor: strong geochemical vectors at depth

- Positive factor: continuity demonstrated across 315m

- Negative factor: results are individual point samples and not composited intercepts

- Negative factor: KAS-02 multi-element results are pending

Facts used in scoring: 18

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Maiden drilling confirmed a large magmatic-hydrothermal system and continuity across 315m.

Evidence · text

> Both holes, drilled approximately 315 m apart, confirm continuity within the Project's largest preserved advanced argillic alteration system

**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: Release includes details on lab accreditation \(ISO/IEC 17025\), QA/QC methods \(standards, blanks\), and QP sign-off.

Evidence · text

> Intertek's ISO/IEC 17025-accredited Australian laboratories. ... Certified reference materials and field blanks were each inserted at a rate of 1 in 20.

**Apparent Width Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness.

Why it applies: The document explicitly states that all reported intervals are downhole lengths and true widths are not known.

Evidence · text

> All reported intervals are downhole lengths; true widths are not known.

## 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.
