# Patronus Resources maps 1.5km Pine Creek gold target in the NT Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/patronus-resources-maps-1-5km-pine-creek-gold-target-in-the-nt--c04d1060-6200-4151-a756-eb27359f5d04 Original source: https://stockhead.com.au/resources/patronus-resources-maps-1-5km-pine-creek-gold-target-in-the-nt/ Publisher: stockhead Original announcement: 2026-09-08T01:26:04.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Patronus Resources - Ticker: PTN - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: Northern Territory - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-12 00:55:56 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Patronus Resources has defined a 1.5km long gold anomaly at its J25 target within the Pine Creek project using infill surface sampling. The results include individual surface grades of up to 0.99 g/t Au, strengthening a structural trend in the Western Shear Zone. Reasoning: Infill surface sampling has extended a coherent gold anomaly to 1.5km at the J25 target, with grades up to 0.99 g/t Au. - Positive factor: coherent 1.5km anomaly - Positive factor: surface grades approaching 1g/t Au - Positive factor: structural trend target Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The release describes infill surface sampling to refine previously identified anomalies. Evidence · text > Infill sampling refines more targets across Pine Creek ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (4) ### Fact 1 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/patronus-resources-maps-1-5km-pine-creek-gold-target-in-the-nt--c04d1060-6200-4151-a756-eb27359f5d04#fact-drill-facts-0) Pine Creek · gold #### Identity - Project: Pine Creek - Commodity: gold - Region: australia\_nt - Reported Region: Northern Territory - Ticker: PTN #### Geometry - Grade: 0.99 - Grade Unit: g/t #### Classification - Sample Type: surface #### Location - Location: J25 - Loc.

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.
