# Smooth Rock Completes a Current Resource Estimate on the Palmetto Project Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/smooth-rock-completes-a-current-resource-estimate-on-the-palmetto-project--d688d6bf-8fe2-4a46-bb56-c0e059cda7b6 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/SMRV/news/4968158508707500/smooth-rock-completes-a-current-resource-estimate-on-the-palmetto-project Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2020-10-21T18:44:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Smooth Rock Ventures Corp. - Ticker: SOCK - Exchange: TSX - Region: Nevada - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver - Document categories: Resource update - Extracted: 2026-09-16 23:17:24 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.20 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Smooth Rock Ventures Corp. has announced an updated NI 43-101 compliant Inferred mineral resource estimate for the Palmetto Gold Project in Nevada. The estimate, effective October 15, 2020, includes approximately 9.57 Mt at 0.96 g/t gold and 6.58 g/t silver, with the majority of the tonnage located in a pit-constrained zone. Reasoning: The company released an updated Inferred resource estimate for the Palmetto project. While the resource is entirely Inferred, the update reflects current pricing and costs, and the company has expanded its land position to target extensions. - Positive factor: NI 43-101 compliant - Positive factor: Independent QP sign-off - Positive factor: Expansion potential noted via land acquisition - Negative factor: 100% Inferred resource - Negative factor: Historical data basis Facts used in scoring: 10 ## Classification and evidence **Inferred Resource** Polarity: negative Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone. Why it applies: The entire resource is classified as Inferred. Evidence · text > classified as an inferred resource **NI 43-101 Compliant** Polarity: positive Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard. Why it applies: The resource estimate was completed following NI 43-101 standards. Evidence · text > completed a current National Instrument \(" NI "\) 43-101 inferred resource estimate **QP/CP Signed** Polarity: positive Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience. Why it applies: Todd McCracken, P.Geo, is named as the independent Qualified Person. Evidence · text > prepared by WSP Canada Inc.'s author and independent qualified person, Todd McCracken, P.Geo. **Cut-off Undisclosed** Polarity: negative Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing. Why it applies: The document does not explicitly state the cut-off grade for the total inferred resource, though it mentions specific cut-offs for the pit and underground components. Evidence · text > summarizes the pit constrained resource estimation at the 0.15 g/t gold cut-off **Cut-off Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison. Why it applies: A current resource fact retains the disclosed cut-off grade ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 10.

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.
