Reasoning: These are historical resource figures for an adjacent property (Cameron Lake) provided for context, not a new estimate by the issuer.
Evidence · text
“The Cameron Lake Deposit hosts pit-constrained (0.55 g/t Au cut-off) Measured and Indicated mineral resources of approximately 3.5 million tonnes grading 2.45 g/t Au, containing approximately 274,000 ounces of gold”
Tags used in scoring
Indicated Resourcepositive
Reasonable geological confidence based on adequate drilling; continuity can be assumed. Basis for Probable Reserves.
Why it applies: category is "indicated"
Cut-off Disclosedpositive
Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison.
Why it applies: cutoff_grade is stated

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.
