## Minestarters Atlas summary

Orvana Minerals Corp. reported Q2 FY2026 exploration results from its Orovalle project in Spain. Key highlights include high-grade gold intercepts at El Valle-Boinás \(up to 19.55 g/t Au\) and confirmation of mineralization at depth at the Lidia project.

Reasoning: The release reports successful infill and brownfield drilling at Orovalle with high-grade gold intercepts, alongside greenfield results at Lidia that confirm depth continuity despite low average grades.

- Positive factor: Significant gold intercepts in Area 208

- Positive factor: Lidia target remains open to the southwest

- Positive factor: Lidia mineralization identified at depth

- Negative factor: Lidia intercepts are low grade \(0.40 g/t Au\)

- Negative factor: Brownfield and greenfield intercepts reported as apparent widths

Facts used in scoring: 5

## 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 details specific QA/QC protocols including CRM, blanks, duplicates, and laboratory procedures.

Evidence · text

> geologists insert certified reference material \(CRM\), blanks and duplicate samples into the sample stream.

**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: Brownfield and greenfield intercepts are explicitly stated as representing apparent widths.

Evidence · text

> for the Lidia greenfield drilling \(Figures 2 and 3\), represent apparent 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.
