## Minestarters Atlas summary

Westhaven Gold Corp. announced positive infill drill results from its Shovelnose Gold and Silver Project in Southern British Columbia, including 54.0 meters grading 8.99 g/t gold and 55 g/t silver in hole SNR26-70. These results are consistent with expectations and reinforce the high-grade nature of the South Zone deposit, supporting an upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate update. The company has also initiated a Pre-Feasibility Study for the South Zone, marking a significant step towards potential mine development.

Reasoning: The announcement reports strong gold and silver intercepts from infill drilling, confirming continuity and grade, which is positive for resource confidence and supports the newly initiated Pre-Feasibility Study. While infill drilling has lower novelty, the grades and widths are significant for the deposit type.

- Positive factor: High-grade gold intercepts, particularly in SNR26-70, exceed exceptional thresholds for epithermal underground deposits.

- Positive factor: Wide intercepts demonstrate strong continuity of mineralization.

- Positive factor: Infill drilling results are consistent with expectations, supporting resource confidence.

- Positive factor: Initiation of a Pre-Feasibility Study signals project advancement.

- Negative factor: Infill drilling has lower novelty compared to new discoveries.

- Negative factor: The document contains a minor discrepancy regarding the hole ID for the headline intercept \(SNR26-70 vs SNR26-072 in prose\).

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

Facts used in scoring: 35

## Classification and evidence

**True Width Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length.

Why it applies: The document states that 'True widths can be estimated at approximately 70-80% of the reported intervals', providing a basis for true width calculation.

Evidence · text

> True widths can be estimated at approximately 70-80% of the reported intervals.

**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 details QA/QC procedures including certified lab \(ALS, ISO/IEC 17025\), QP sign-off, and methods like duplicates, standards, and blanks.

Evidence · text

> ALS’s facilities are accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard for gold assays, and all analytical methods include quality control materials at set frequencies with established data acceptance criteria. QA/QC incorporates the laboratory’s internal quality assurance controls as well as Westhaven’s field controls, including the insertion of quarter core duplicates, certified reference materials and blanks, each at a rate of roughly one per 20-25 core samples. Robin Hopkins, P.Geo. \(NT/NU\), Vice President, Exploration for Westhaven and a Qualified Person for the Company under the definitions established by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

**Compositing Transparent**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Cut-off grade and internal dilution rules are clearly stated for reported intervals.

Why it applies: The cut-off grade \(1 g/t Au\) and maximum internal dilution \(3m\) for reported intervals are clearly stated.

Evidence · text

> Reported intervals are at least 2m in length with a 1 g/t Au cut-off for individual samples and no more than 3m contiguous metres dilution.

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery.

Why it applies: The drilling program is explicitly described as 'mineral resource in-fill drilling' designed to infill the deposit at nominal 25m centres.

Evidence · text

> Initial drilling is focused on completing ~ 35,000m of mineral resource in-fill drilling at the South Zone deposit, targeting inclusion in an updated Mineral Resource Estimate \(“MRE”\) to support the PFS

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: The intercept in SNR26-69 of 1.26m grading 62.80 g/t Au is well above the exceptional threshold for epithermal underground gold deposits.

Evidence · table

> 62.80 g/t Au

Context: 1.26m grading 62.80 g/t Au and 330 g/t Ag from 198.04m downhole

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: The sub-interval in SNR26-70 of 23.00m grading 17.04 g/t Au is above the exceptional threshold for epithermal underground gold deposits.

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is true

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results.

Why it applies: proximity is offered as the value premise: "Key Highlights: 8,537m of drilling \(32 drill holes\) have been completed within the South Zone deposit, representing ~23%"

## 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.
