## Minestarters Atlas summary

Mako Mining has reported high-grade gold and silver drill results from the Las Conchitas area of its San Albino Project in Nicaragua. The drilling, including RC and geotechnical holes, has extended mineralization over 450m along strike, stepping out beyond the current 2023 mineral resource estimate pit limits.

Reasoning: Significant high-grade gold intercepts \(up to 26.98 g/t\) that extend mineralization beyond the current 2023 MRE pit limits, demonstrating district-scale expansion potential in a permitted area.

- Positive factor: High-grade gold intercepts

- Positive factor: Step-out extension beyond pit limits

- Positive factor: Structural continuity

- Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed

Facts used in scoring: 8

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Drilling has demonstrated gold mineralization that extends beyond the current pit limits defined by the 2023 MRE.

Evidence · text

> demonstrated gold mineralization that extends beyond the current pit limits defined by the MRE

**True Width Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: Multiple intercepts report Estimated True Width \(ETW\).

Evidence · text

> 6.8 m Estimated True Width

**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 details sampling, assaying, and QA/QC procedures, including use of standards, blanks, and duplicates.

Evidence · text

> Control samples consisting of duplicates, standards and blanks were inserted into the sample stream

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: Intercepts such as 26.98 g/t Au and 29.18 g/t Au are exceptionally high grade.

Evidence · text

> 26.98 grams per tonne \("g/t"\) gold \("Au"\)

## 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.
