## Minestarters Atlas summary

New Found Gold has commenced its 2026 drill program at the Queensway Gold Project in Newfoundland and Labrador. The company also reported high-grade infill drilling results from the K2 zone, highlighted by an intercept of 5.22 g/t Au over 14.90 metres.

Reasoning: The announcement reports a high-grade gold intercept \(5.22 g/t over 14.9m\) from infill drilling and signals continuity of exploration activity with the start of a new program.

- Positive factor: Strong gold grade and width in K2 zone infill results

- Positive factor: Commencement of new 2026 drill program

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery.

Why it applies: The results are explicitly described as 2025 infill drilling at the K2 zone.

Evidence · text

> reports further results from 2025 infill drilling at the K2 zone

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The commencement of the 2026 drill program indicates ongoing exploration activity.

Evidence · text

> Commences 2026 Queensway Drill Program

#### Tags used in scoring

**No QA/QC Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document.

Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is not true

**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

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery.

Why it applies: drill\_program\_type is "resource"

## 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.
