## Minestarters Atlas summary

K2 Gold has reported the first drill results from its 2026 14,000-metre exploration program at the Mojave project in California. The results include high-grade intercepts that represent a 40-metre step-out from previous drilling, extending the known mineralization corridor.

Reasoning: The company reported successful step-out drill results from a new 14,000m program, extending a known corridor with high-grade intercepts.

- Positive factor: high-grade intercepts

- Positive factor: step-out drilling success

- Positive factor: oxide mineralization at surface

- Positive factor: large mineralized corridor

- Negative factor: pending assays for 12 holes

Facts used in scoring: 5

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The CEO stated the recent holes were a 'true 40-metre step-out' into new ground.

Evidence · text

> this was a true 40-metre step-out, so we’re drilling completely new ground.

**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: The company mentions ongoing cyanide solubility testing on the reported holes.

Evidence · text

> We’re currently carrying out cyanide solubility testing on the three drill holes we’ve just reported.

## 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.
