## Minestarters Atlas summary

Maple Gold has filed an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for its Douay/Joutel Gold Project in Québec, reporting a combined 0.9 million ounces of gold Indicated and 4.3 million ounces Inferred. This update includes a maiden high-grade underground resource for the Joutel project and significant growth in both tonnage and contained metal for the Douay project. While the overall resource has expanded substantially, the combined M&amp;I percentage remains low, and some categories show grade dilution linked to lowered cut-off grades.

Reasoning: The updated MRE demonstrates substantial growth in contained gold ounces for the Douay/Joutel project, including a maiden high-grade resource at Joutel, which is a significant positive. However, the overall resource confidence remains low with a high inferred component, and grade dilution is evident in some categories, partly due to lowered cut-off grades.

- Positive factor: Contained Metal Growth

- Positive factor: Maiden Resource

- Positive factor: NI 43-101 Compliant

- Positive factor: QP/CP Signed

- Negative factor: Inferred Resource

- Negative factor: Grade Decline

- Negative factor: Cut-off Lowered

- Negative factor: Dilutive Growth

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

Facts used in scoring: 10

## Classification and evidence

**Tonnage Growth**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Tonnage increase reaching the strong tier vs prior estimate, with grade maintained or improved.

Why it applies: The combined Douay and Joutel Indicated resource increased by 91% from 10.0 Mt to 19.1 Mt, and the Inferred resource increased by 70% from 76.7 Mt to 130.2 Mt.

Evidence · table

> +91%

Context: 19.1

**Contained Metal Growth**

Polarity: positive

Definition: True scale improvement — contained metal ounces/tonnes increased vs prior, accounting for both tonnage and grade changes.

Why it applies: The combined Douay and Joutel Indicated contained gold increased by 77% from 511 koz to 905 koz, and the Inferred contained gold increased by 70% from 2,525 koz to 4,297 koz.

Evidence · table

> +77%

Context: 905

**Maiden Resource**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: First formal MRE for the project — establishes baseline but typically exploration-stage with high Inferred component. No prior estimate exists, so every change band is not applicable.

Why it applies: The document explicitly states 'A maiden Joutel underground MRE'.

Evidence · text

> A maiden Joutel underground MRE

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience.

Why it applies: Mr. Denis Decharte, P.Eng., is stated as the Qualified Person who estimated the resources and approved the contents, and Ian Cunningham-Dunlop, P.Eng., reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information.

Evidence · text

> The Mineral Resources disclosed in this news release have been estimated by Mr. Denis Decharte, P.Eng., an employee of SLR and independent of Maple Gold. By virtue of his education and relevant experience, Mr. Decharte is a Qualified Person for the purpose of NI 43-101. ... Ian Cunningham-Dunlop, P.Eng. \(PEO/EGBC\), Executive Vice President of Maple Gold, has reviewed, verified and approved the scientific and technical information related to exploration and Mineral Resource matters contained in this news release.

**NI 43-101 Compliant**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard.

Why it applies: The technical report was filed in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

Evidence · text

> filing of a technical report in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: The combined Douay and Joutel resource has a large inferred component of 130.2 Mt at 1.03 g/t Au for 4,297 koz Au, representing approximately 87% of the total contained metal.

Evidence · table

> 130.2

Context: 1.03\*

**Grade Decline**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Average grade fell below the red-flag bound vs prior estimate — deposit economics worsening. May indicate high-grading in early drilling.

Why it applies: The Douay Open Pit Indicated grade declined by 17% from 1.59 g/t to 1.31 g/t, and the combined Douay and Joutel Indicated grade declined by 7% from 1.59 g/t to 1.48 g/t.

Evidence · table

> -17%

Context: 1.31

**Cut-off Lowered**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Cut-off grade reduced beyond the suspicious bound vs prior estimate — tonnage growth may be artificial inflation.

Why it applies: The Douay Pit-constrained MRE cut-off grade was lowered from 0.45 g/t Au to 0.35 g/t Au, and the Douay Underground MRE cut-off grade was lowered from 1.15 g/t Au to 0.98 g/t Au.

Evidence · text

> Douay Pit-constrained Mineral Resources for the SLR 2026 MRE are reported above a 0.35 g/t Au COG compared to a 0.45 g/t Au COG for the SLR 2022 MRE. Douay Underground Mineral Resources are reported above a 0.98 g/t Au cut-off grade for the SLR 2026 MRE compared to a 1.15 g/t Au cut-off grade for the SLR 2022 MRE.

**Dilutive Growth**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Tonnage increased but contained metal flat or down — likely from lower cut-off grade, not geological expansion.

Why it applies: While tonnage and contained metal increased significantly, the average grade for several categories, including Douay Open Pit Indicated and combined Indicated, declined, partly due to lowered cut-off grades.

Evidence · text

> Douay Pit-constrained Mineral Resources for the SLR 2026 MRE are reported above a 0.35 g/t Au COG compared to a 0.45 g/t Au COG for the SLR 2022 MRE.

**Resource Update**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: The document announces an 'Updated Mineral Resource Estimate' for the Douay/Joutel Gold Project.

Evidence · text

> Updated Mineral Resource Estimate

**Indicated Resource**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Reasonable geological confidence based on adequate drilling; continuity can be assumed. Basis for Probable Reserves.

Why it applies: category is "indicated"

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience.

Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard.

Why it applies: reporting\_standards includes ni\_43\_101

**Tonnage Growth**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Tonnage increase reaching the strong tier vs prior estimate, with grade maintained or improved.

Why it applies: 19100000 against 10000000 previously

**Grade Decline**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Average grade fell below the red-flag bound vs prior estimate — deposit economics worsening. May indicate high-grading in early drilling.

Why it applies: 1.48 against 1.59 previously

**Contained Metal Growth**

Polarity: positive

Definition: True scale improvement — contained metal ounces/tonnes increased vs prior, accounting for both tonnage and grade changes.

Why it applies: 905 against 511 previously

## 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.
