# Smooth Rock Drills 122 g/t Au over 1.1 Meters at Palmetto Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/smooth-rock-drills-122-g-t-au-over-1-1-meters-at-palmetto--d750024b-6b9c-421f-9bae-553cee26ce2f Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/SMRV/news/5053302545131577/smooth-rock-drills-122-g-t-au-over-1-1-meters-at-palmetto Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2021-06-03T12:00:00.000Z 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: None reported - Document categories: Drill results, Resource update - Extracted: 2026-09-16 23:14:07 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Smooth Rock Ventures Corp. has announced high-grade gold drill results from its Palmetto Gold project in Nevada. Notable intercepts include 122.5 g/t Au over 1.1m and 44.3 g/t Au over 0.8m in hole SRV 21-01. Reasoning: The release reports high-grade gold intercepts, including a bonanza-grade interval of 122.5 g/t Au, from an initial exploration program designed to expand the resource. - Positive factor: High-grade bonanza intercept of 122.5 g/t Au - Positive factor: Strong continuity in SRV 21-01 - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols and QP sign-off disclosed - Negative factor: Apparent width only \(true width not disclosed\) - Negative factor: Uncapped assays used for averages Facts used in scoring: 7 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 122.5 g/t Au over 1.1m is exceptionally high grade for an exploration target. Evidence · text > 122.5 g/t Au over 1.1 meters **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 document explicitly states that insufficient drilling has been undertaken to determine true widths. Evidence · text > Widths are drill indicated core length as insufficient drilling has been undertaken to determine true widths 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 details sampling methodology, certified lab \(American Assays Laboratories\), and QP sign-off. Evidence · text > The Palmetto samples were delivered to American Assays Laboratories' certified laboratory facilities **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: Program was designed to expand the current resource by drilling mineralized zones. Evidence · text > designed to expand the current resource by drilling the mineralized zones ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 7.

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.
