## Minestarters Atlas summary

Southern Cross Gold has announced drill results from six holes targeting the upper portion of the Golden Dyke. The results include a high-grade intercept of 7.9 m at 19.9 g/t AuEq, which features significant antimony \(7.1% Sb\) and 2.8 g/t gold.

Reasoning: The headline intercept of 7.9 m @ 19.9 g/t AuEq is exceptionally high grade and confirms antimony dominance in the Upper Golden Dyke.

- Positive factor: High grade AuEq intercept

- Positive factor: Significant antimony presence

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm.

Why it applies: The 19.9 g/t AuEq intercept is exceptionally high grade for a gold-antimony system.

#### Tags used in scoring

**No QA/QC Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document.

Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is not true

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

**Metal Equivalent Opaque**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Metal equivalent grade reported without disclosing the price, recovery, or payability assumptions used. Requires an actual metal equivalent grade; a combined elemental basket such as PGE is not a metal equivalent.

Why it applies: an equivalent grade is reported without its assumptions

## 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.
