## Minestarters Atlas summary

Palamina Corp. has identified a new mineralized shear zone at its Usicayos gold project in Peru through mapping and channel sampling. The results extend the known mineralization in the Sol De Oro North zone and support a planned 2025 drilling program aimed at resource definition.

Reasoning: The release reports positive surface sampling results that extend the known footprint of the SDO North zone, providing a rationale for the upcoming 2025 drill program.

- Positive factor: Extension of known mineralization via mapping/sampling

- Positive factor: Identification of a new mineralized shear zone

- Positive factor: High-grade channel sample \(7.86 g/t Au\)

- Positive factor: QA/QC protocols and QP sign-off disclosed

Facts used in scoring: 6

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Mapping and sampling identified a new shear zone 200m southeast of SDO North, extending the known zone.

Evidence · text

> In February of 2025, our field crews have extended the initial 500 x 200 metre wide zone by another 200 metres to the south east.

**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 specific QA/QC protocols including blanks, standards, and duplicates, and names a QP.

Evidence · text

> Palamina QA/QC staff insert coarse and fine blank samples, field duplicates and certified standards into the sample stream

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results.

Why it applies: The project is located in the Puno Orogenic Gold Belt.

Evidence · text

> Palamina is an exploration company with a land bank of gold projects in the Puno Orogenic Gold Belt

## 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.
