## Minestarters Atlas summary

Stellar AfricaGold reported a high-grade rock sample of 218.33 g/t Au collected from a dyke structure between Zones A and B at the Tichka Est Gold Project in Morocco. The company is also advancing an integrated technical program involving 3D modelling, remote sensing, and drone topographic surveys to refine targeting for an upcoming 5,000-metre drill campaign.

Reasoning: The announcement reports a significant high-grade rock sample \(218.33 g/t Au\) in a corridor between existing zones, alongside progress in a multi-disciplinary technical program. While the sample is selective \(rock chip\), the grade is exceptional and the QA/QC is clearly disclosed.

- Positive factor: High-grade rock sample of 218.33 g/t Au

- Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed with ISO-certified lab

- Positive factor: Integration of advanced technical programs \(3D modelling, remote sensing\)

- Positive factor: Expansion of mineralized footprint between known zones

- Negative factor: Samples are selective rock samples and may not be representative

Facts used in scoring: 8

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: The rock sample of 218.33 g/t Au is exceptionally high-grade for a gold project.

Evidence · text

> High-Grade Rock Sample of 218.15 g/t Au Returned Between Zones A and B

**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 release specifies the use of an ISO-certified laboratory \(Afrilab\) and detailed assay protocols \(fire assay with AAS finish\).

Evidence · text

> Sample preparation and gold assaying were performed by Afrilab in Marrakech, an ISO-certified laboratory independent of the Company.

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The high-grade sample was collected in a corridor between Zones A and B, suggesting mineralization outside currently drilled areas.

Evidence · text

> shows the presence of high-grade gold mineralization outside the currently drilled Zone B area and within the corridor between Zone A and B.

## 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.
