## Minestarters Atlas summary

Eastfield Resources completed its 2023 exploration program at the Hedgehog project in British Columbia, consisting of prospecting and rock sampling. The program failed to return significant gold or base metal values from the 37 rock samples collected, and the results do not currently explain the existing arsenic soil anomaly.

Reasoning: The 2023 prospecting program at Hedgehog failed to return significant gold or base metal values from rock samples, despite targeting a known arsenic anomaly.

- Negative factor: No significant gold or base metal values returned from rock sampling

- Negative factor: Rock samples do not explain the large arsenic soil anomaly

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**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: The release does not mention specific QA/QC protocols like blanks or standards, though it names a lab and a QP.

Evidence · text

> Field samples were delivered to MSA Labs

## 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.
