## Minestarters Atlas summary

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. has completed the first phase of development at the Washington Mine in Idaho, including advancing a main haulage tunnel and setting up underground drill stations. The company reported anomalous gold and silver grades in the host rock, with one sample returning 30.1 ppm gold.

Reasoning: The release reports anomalous gold and silver grades in host rock adjacent to a known vein, supported by professional QA/QC and QP sign-off.

- Positive factor: High grade gold in host rock

- Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed

- Positive factor: QP signed

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 sample delivery to ALS and verification by a Qualified Person.

Evidence · text

> Mr. Robert G. Komarechka, P.Geo., an independent consultant, has reviewed and verified SBMI's work referred to herein, and is the Qualified Person for this release.

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: The work described involves advancing tunnels and setting up stations to define geometry, which is characteristic of development/infill work.

Evidence · text

> Set up underground drill stations that will help further define the geometry of the mineralized zones

## 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.
