## Minestarters Atlas summary

Western Gold has confirmed a gold mineralised breccia pipe discovery at the Ardlochan Prospect in Scotland. Drilling in hole WGLD009\_EXT returned high-grade gold intercepts, including 1m at 23.6 g/t Au.

Reasoning: The announcement reports a new gold discovery \(breccia pipe\) with significant high-grade intercepts, though one target failed to meet expectations.

- Positive factor: Discovery of a gold mineralised breccia pipe system

- Positive factor: High-grade gold intercepts \(23.6 g/t Au\)

- Positive factor: Consistent mineralisation throughout the pipe

- Negative factor: One geophysical target \(WGLD25-B\) was downgraded to barren

- Negative factor: True widths are currently unknown

Facts used in scoring: 30

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Drilling confirmed a new gold mineralised breccia pipe system.

Evidence · text

> confirmed the discovery of a gold mineralised breccia pipe system

**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 lab \(ALS\), QP \(David Pym\), and QA/QC methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Evidence · text

> QA/QC program for drill core samples includes the regular insertion of blanks and standards

**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: True widths are explicitly stated as unknown in the document.

#### Dates

- Event date: 2025-09-18T00:00:00.000Z

Reasoning: Expanded from assay table: 18 ppm copper, reported in a unit the rubric does not cover \(%\).

- Negative factor: Grade unit ppm does not match the copper rubric unit %; not scored.

Ardlochan · gold

#### Identity

- Hole ID: WGLD25-B
- Project: Ardlochan
- Commodity: gold
- Region: scotland
- Reported Region: scotland
- Ticker: WGLD

#### Geometry

- Grade: 0.47
- Grade Unit: g/t
- Intercept: 2 m
- From: 22 m
- To: 24 m
- Intercept Depth: 22 m

#### Classification

- Deposit Type: porphyry

#### Review

- Needs Review: No
- Interp. Status: scored
- Historical: No

#### Dates

- Event date: 2025-09-18T00:00:00.000Z

Reasoning: Expanded from assay table. 0.47 g/t gold is moderate against the porphyry deposit band \[1, 0.5, 0.3, 0.15\] g/t. Grade×width 0.9 g/t·m is below \(grade alone is moderate; the better of the two is used\).

- Negative factor: Scored from rubric bands during table expansion, not from document context.

Reasoning: Expanded from assay table. 0.37 g/t silver is below against the default band \[500, 200, 100, 30\] g/t. Grade×width 0.7 g/t·m is below.

- Negative factor: 0.37 g/t silver is below the weak threshold \(30 g/t\) on the default band.

- Negative factor: Scored from rubric bands during table expansion, not from document context.

## 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.
