# Vanstar Reports Winter Drilling Results from Nelligan - Gold Mineralization Expanded Along Strike to the East Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/vanstar-reports-winter-drilling-results-from-nelligan-gold-mineralization-expand--712e96d7-c822-420a-acf7-6be2d6e841d7 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/VSR/news/7456056865350968/vanstar-reports-winter-drilling-results-from-nelligan-gold-mineralization-expand Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2023-07-05T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Vanstar Mining Resources Inc. - Ticker: VSR - Exchange: TSX - Region: Quebec - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-13 06:58:37 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Vanstar has reported the first assay results from its 2023 diamond drill program at the Nelligan project, demonstrating gold mineralization extension along strike to the east. Highlights include high-grade intercepts in holes NE-22-202 and NE-22-204, although some exploration holes in the southeast failed to return significant gold. Reasoning: Drilling successfully extended gold mineralization along strike to the east of the Nelligan deposit, with several high-grade intercepts reported. - Positive factor: Step-Out Extension - Positive factor: QA/QC Disclosed - Positive factor: Bonanza Intercept - Negative factor: Apparent Width Only Facts used in scoring: 8 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Drilling demonstrated gold mineralization has been extended along strike to the east of the Nelligan deposit. Evidence · text > demonstrates that gold mineralization has been extended along strike to the east of the Nelligan deposit **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 is reviewed and approved by a Qualified Person \(NI 43-101\). Evidence · text > Qualified Person Mr. Gilles Laverdière, P.Geo... has reviewed and approved this press release. **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: Intercepts such as 29.10 g/t Au and 31.9 g/t Au are exceptionally high grade. Evidence · text > including 29.10 g/t Au over 0.5 m **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: Notes state true widths are estimated at 80 to 95% of the core interval, meaning reported widths are downhole/apparent. Evidence · text > True widths are estimated at 80 to 95% of the core interval. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 8.

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.
