# P2 Gold: Gabbs Geotechnical Drilling Confirms Lucky Strike Zone Remains Open in All Directions Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/p2-gold-gabbs-geotechnical-drilling-confirms-lucky-strike-zone-remains-open-in-a--ba9aa361-b6e5-4212-92b1-6da69e5d8a7e Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/PGLD/news/6050821759811150/p2-gold-gabbs-geotechnical-drilling-confirms-lucky-strike-zone-remains-open-in-a Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-07-06T09:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: P2 Gold Inc. - Ticker: PGLD - Exchange: TSX - Region: Nevada - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Copper - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-12 18:35:17 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary P2 Gold reported geotechnical diamond drill results from the Lucky Strike Zone at the Gabbs Project in Nevada. The drilling confirmed that mineralization remains open in all directions and highlighted a higher-grade gold-copper core, prompting plans for additional RC drilling. Reasoning: Geotechnical drilling confirmed the Lucky Strike Zone remains open and contains a higher-grade core, supporting future resource expansion. - Positive factor: mineralization remains open in all directions - Positive factor: discovery of higher-grade core - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols disclosed - Negative factor: true width not determined 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 includes details on blanks, standards, and field duplicates. Evidence · text > One in 20 samples was blank, one in 20 was a standard sample, and one in 20 samples had a sample cut from assay rejects assayed as a field duplicate. **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 thickness is explicitly stated as 'to be determined'. Evidence · text > True thickness to be determined. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 12.

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.
