## Minestarters Atlas summary

Newcore Gold has released an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Enchi Gold Project in Ghana, significantly expanding the Indicated resource to 83.6 million tonnes at 0.56 g/t Au \(1.502 Moz Au\). The resource includes four pit-constrained deposits \(Sewum, Boin, Nyam, and Kwakyekrom\) and will form the basis for an ongoing Pre-Feasibility Study.

Reasoning: The update represents a major expansion of the Indicated resource, more than doubling the contained gold ounces, which significantly de-risks the project for the upcoming PFS.

- Positive factor: Significant tonnage and grade growth in Indicated category

- Positive factor: Contained gold increased to over 1.5 million ounces

- Positive factor: All deposits open along strike and at depth

- Positive factor: NI 43-101 compliant with multiple QPs named

- Negative factor: Resource is primarily low grade \(0.49-0.73 g/t Au\)

- Negative factor: Significant portion of resource remains in Inferred category

Facts used in scoring: 8

## Classification and evidence

**NI 43-101 Compliant**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: The resource estimate was prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 standards by independent QPs.

Evidence · text

> prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards

**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: Multiple Qualified Persons \(Ryan Wilson, Matthew Halliday, Schadrac Ibrango\) are named as responsible for the estimate.

Evidence · text

> prepared by Ryan Wilson, P. Geo, Matthew Halliday, P. Geo, Schadrac Ibrango, P. Geo

**Cut-off Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison.

Why it applies: The document explicitly states the open pit cut-off grades used \(0.1 to 0.2 g/t Au\).

Evidence · text

> Open pit cut-off grades varied from 0.1 to 0.2 g/t 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.
