# Wayka's Kelly Zone Channel 21 Returns 0.98 g/t gold over 11.0 metres Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/wayka-s-kelly-zone-channel-21-returns-0-98-g-t-gold-over-11-0-metres--d7102cab-4c80-4869-9023-f55c18c7f5c5 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/LKY/news/6625800173659420/wayka-s-kelly-zone-channel-21-returns-0-98-g-t-gold-over-11-0-metres Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2023-01-17T12:30:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Lucky Minerals Inc. - Ticker: LKY - Exchange: TSX - Region: Ecuador - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-09-12 11:48:41 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.40 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Lucky Minerals reported gold assay results from channel sampling at the Kelly Zone of the Fortuna Property in Ecuador. The results include a 0.98 g/t gold intercept over 11.0 metres within a larger 25-metre interval, confirming a significant mineralized breccia zone. Reasoning: Channel sampling results confirm gold presence in a newly identified 100m strike breccia zone, supported by robust QA/QC disclosure. - Positive factor: confirmed gold mineralisation in a large breccia zone - Positive factor: extension of mineralized strike length to 100m - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols and accredited lab disclosed Facts used in scoring: 5 ## Classification and evidence **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: Release includes details on blanks, standards, and duplicates, and names an ISO certified lab. Evidence · text > All exploration work is completed following QA/QC protocols and include the insertion of a coarse blank, a standard and duplicate sample on every batch of 25 samples. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 5.

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.
