## Minestarters Atlas summary

Nexus Gold reported initial assay results from its December 2021 diamond drilling program at the McKenzie Gold Project in Red Lake, Ontario. Hole MK-21-024 returned 2.19 g/t Au over 22 meters, including high-grade intercepts of 24.5 g/t Au over 1.5m and 21 g/t Au over 1m. The program successfully extended the strike length of the mineralized zone to over 450 meters, with additional assays pending for the remaining four holes.

Reasoning: Nexus Gold reported strong initial drill results from its McKenzie Gold Project, featuring bonanza-grade intercepts and significant strike extension, indicating successful exploration. The QA/QC disclosure adds credibility to the results.

- Positive factor: High-grade gold intercepts reported, including 24.5 g/t Au over 1.5m and 21 g/t Au over 1m.

- Positive factor: Drilling successfully extended the strike length of the mineralized zone to over 450 meters.

- Positive factor: QA/QC procedures are disclosed, including use of an accredited lab, standards, blanks, and duplicates, with QP sign-off.

- Negative factor: Reported lengths are intercepts and not true widths, which may overstate true thickness.

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

## Classification and evidence

**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: The release details QA/QC procedures including certified lab, standards, blanks, duplicates, and QP sign-off.

Evidence · text

> All samples are analyzed for gold using standard Fire Assay-AA techniques. Certified gold reference standards, blanks and field duplicates are routinely inserted into the sample stream, as part of Nexus’s quality control/quality assurance program \(QA/QC\). ... Warren Robb P.Geo., Vice President, Exploration, is the designated Qualified Person and has reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this release.

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The drilling successfully expanded the strike length of the mineralized zone to over 450 meters.

Evidence · text

> Drilling successfully extends strike length over 400 meters ... With the mineralization encountered in holes MK-21-027 and MK-21-030, extension of the strike of the gold bearing zone now extends over 450 meters in length.

**Apparent Width Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness.

Why it applies: The document explicitly states that reported lengths are intercepts and not true widths.

Evidence · text

> \* Reported lengths are intercepts and are not true widths

## 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.
