## Minestarters Atlas summary

Rockhaven Resources has commenced a 10,000m drill program at the Klaza gold-silver project in Yukon, focused on resource definition and discovery. The program aims to upgrade inferred resources to indicated status and test high-grade epithermal targets to support an upcoming Pre-feasibility study.

Reasoning: The announcement details the start of a significant drilling campaign aimed at resource conversion and discovery, which is a key de-risking step for the project's advancement toward a Pre-feasibility study.

- Positive factor: Commencement of a large 10,000m drill program

- Positive factor: Clear objective to upgrade inferred resources to indicated

- Positive factor: Targeting high-grade epithermal targets

- Positive factor: Project is well-funded and road accessible

Facts used in scoring: 10

## Classification and evidence

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery.

Why it applies: The program includes 9,000m of infill drilling to convert inferred resources to indicated.

Evidence · text

> Resource definition infill drilling \(9,000m in 44 holes\) to convert more of the inferred mineral resources into indicated mineral resources

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Exploration drilling is planned at the Rusk and Western BRX Extension targets to assess on-strike potential.

Evidence · text

> Work in 2022 at this target will further assess the on-strike potential of the main structures.

**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: A Qualified Person \(Matthew R. Dumala, P.Eng.\) is named and has approved the technical information.

Evidence · text

> Technical information in this news release has been approved by Matthew R. Dumala, P.Eng., a geological engineer with Archer, Cathro & Associates \(1981\) Limited and qualified person for the purpose of National Instrument 43-101.

## 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.
