# Richmond Minerals Inc. Announces Highest Grade Intersection to date with 18.2 g/t Gold over 3 metres at the Ridley Lake Project Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/richmond-minerals-inc-announces-highest-grade-intersection-to-date-with-18-2-g-t--b14f84f8-eeec-4c77-bb43-88286bfabfeb Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/RMD/news/5791450473302248/richmond-minerals-inc-announces-highest-grade-intersection-to-date-with-18-2-g-t Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2021-05-06T21:36:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Richmond Minerals Inc. - Ticker: RMD - Exchange: TSX - Region: Ontario - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-18 19:13:52 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Richmond Minerals Inc. reported its highest-grade gold intersection to date at the Ridley Lake Project, featuring 18.2 g/t Au over 3 metres in hole RS20-34. The Phase IV diamond drilling program tested IP anomalies in the Aguara West zone and included multiple high-grade intercepts and robust QA/QC protocols. Reasoning: The release reports a significant high-grade gold intercept \(18.2 g/t over 3m\) which is a new record for the project, supported by clear QA/QC disclosure. - Positive factor: Highest grade intersection to date \(18.2 g/t Au\) - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols disclosed including standards, blanks, and duplicates - Positive factor: Multiple labs used for assay verification - Positive factor: Step-out drilling successful in testing IP anomalies - Negative factor: True widths not disclosed - Negative factor: One hole \(RS20-38\) failed to reach target depth due to equipment issues Facts used in scoring: 9 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 18.2 g/t Au over 3m is exceptionally high for the project context. Evidence · text > 18.2 g/t Gold over 3 metres **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: The release explicitly states that true widths are not known at this time. Evidence · text > true widths are not known at this time **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 use of standards, blanks, and duplicates, and names specific labs. Evidence · text > consisting of inserting laboratory prepared standards and blanks and duplicates into the core sample stream **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: Project is located near Newmont Goldcorp's Borden gold deposit. Evidence · text > approximately 37 miles east of Newmont Goldcorp's Borden gold deposit ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 9.
