# 2018 Exploration Results Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/2018-exploration-results--2df1c58a-9fcf-4cb5-b7d2-546836258e5b Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/SVG/news/7174653205251785/2018-exploration-results Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2019-02-06T13:30:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Silver Grail Resources Ltd. - Ticker: SVG - Exchange: TSX - Region: British Columbia - Primary commodity: Cobalt - Secondary commodities: Copper, Manganese, Nickel - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-08-21 12:58:01 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.40 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Silver Grail Resources reported 2018 exploration results from surface sampling programs at its Pacifico, Roman, and Kobald properties. The results highlight significant cobalt and manganese anomalies at Pacifico, successful extension of cobalt-nickel anomalies at Roman, and copper-cobalt targets at Kobald. Reasoning: The release reports highly anomalous cobalt and copper surface geochemistry across multiple properties, including successful extension of known anomalies at the Roman property. - Positive factor: high cobalt anomalies - Positive factor: extension of known anomalies - Positive factor: copper-cobalt targets identified - Negative factor: surface sampling only - Negative factor: no drill intercepts Facts used in scoring: 6 ## 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 mentions accredited laboratories \(Activation Laboratories Ltd. and SGS Canada Inc.\) and a Qualified Person \(Dino Cremonese, P.Eng.\). Evidence · text > Both are accredited laboratories. The Qualified Person... is Dino Cremonese, P.Eng. **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: Exploration focuses on following up geochemical anomalies identified in regional surveys. Evidence · text > The principal target of these efforts was a stream from which a BC Regional Geochemistry survey had returned a value of 584 ppm cobalt **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: No drilling was performed; results are based on surface geochemical sampling. Evidence · text > results from surface programs carried out over its properties in 2018 ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6.

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.
