The intercepts include a 26.1m continuous zone, testing a VTEM conductor in New Brunswick. Assay results for all four recent holes are currently pending. Reasoning: The announcement reports significant massive sulphide intercepts in a highlight hole \(GW26-29\), though actual grades are not yet released. - Positive factor: Significant massive sulphide intercepts \(30m total\) - Positive factor: Discovery of massive sulphide beneath VTEM conductor - Positive factor: Consistent with magmatic Cu-Ni-Co deposit styles - Negative factor: Assay results are still pending Facts used in scoring: 6 ## 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 mentions certified reference standards and blanks were inserted. Evidence · text > Eighteen quality control samples \(certified reference standards and blanks\) were inserted **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Holes were designed to test VTEM conductors which are potential extensions to known zones. Evidence · text > All of these models are potential extensions to the known zones of mineralization ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (6) ### GW26-29 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/slam-drills-over-30-meters-of-massive-sulphide-beneath-vtem-conductor-on-the-goo--564a0de2-5e32-4a15-8730-416c5edd92e1#fact-drill-facts-0) Goodwin · copper #### Identity - Hole ID: GW26-29 - Project: Goodwin - Commodity: copper - Region: canada\_nb - Reported Region: canada\_nb - Ticker: SXL #### Geometry - Intercept: 26.1 m - From: 18.7 m - To: 44.8 m - Hole Depth: 137 m - Intercept Depth: 18.7 m #### Classification - Program: exploration - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: GW26-29:18.7-44.8 - Mining Method: unknown #### Location - Location: Goodwin copper-nickel-cobalt project - Easting: 697385 - Northing: 5239268 - Elevation: 395 m - Azimuth: 120 ° - Dip: -80 ° - 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.
