## Minestarters Atlas summary

North Arrow Minerals has confirmed gold mineralization along approximately 700m of strike at Target A of the Kraaipan Gold Project. Rotation 1 RC drilling returned bedrock intercepts \(&gt;0.5 g/t Au\) in 12 of 20 holes, validating the interpreted corridor, while Rotation 2 drilling at Targets AE and AF has been completed.

Reasoning: The results confirm a broad gold endowment along a significant strike length, though structural controls and continuity remain unconstrained.

- Positive factor: Gold mineralization confirmed along ~700 m of strike

- Positive factor: Bedrock gold intercepts returned in 12 of 20 holes

- Positive factor: Successful validation of interpreted NE-SW corridor

- Negative factor: Variable results between adjacent holes

- Negative factor: Lack of dip continuity established around flagship intercept

- Negative factor: Vein orientations not yet confidently defined

Facts used in scoring: 12

## 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: Release mentions ALS Johannesburg, duplicates, and CRMs.

Evidence · text

> QA/QC protocols include ALS laboratory's own internal quality assurance controls as well as Rockman's field controls, including the insertion of duplicates and certified reference materials \(CRM\)

**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: True widths are estimated to be 50-75% of the drilled interval.

Evidence · table

> True widths estimated to be 50-75% of interval

## 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.
