## Minestarters Atlas summary

Southern Cross Gold has reported high-grade drill results from the Rising Sun prospect at the Sunday Creek project. A key intercept of 0.5 m @ 342.2 g/t AuEq \(comprising 335.5 g/t Au and 2.8% Sb\) confirms strike continuity.

Reasoning: The intercept of 342.2 g/t AuEq is exceptionally high grade and confirms strike continuity near a previous hole.

- Positive factor: High-grade intercept

- Positive factor: Strike continuity confirmed

Facts used in scoring: 3

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The intercept confirms continuity 12m along strike from a previous hole.

Evidence · text

> just 12 m along strike from SDDSC118's

#### 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

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results.

Why it applies: proximity is offered as the value premise: "- October 1, 2025\) - Southern Cross Gold Consolidated Ltd \(TSX:SXGC\) \(ASX: SX2\) \(OTCQX: SXGCF\) \(FSE: MV3\) \("SXGC", "SX2""

#### Rejected tags

**Bonanza Intercept** — Rejected; excluded from scoring

Polarity: positive

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

Reason: 335.5 g/t Au is well above the exceptional threshold for gold.

## 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.
