Resources Limited - Ticker: AIS - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: New Brunswick - Primary commodity: Copper - Secondary commodities: Gold, Silver - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-09-16 10:42:18 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.20 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary A.I.S. Resources has completed part of its Phase 1 diamond drilling program in New Brunswick, targeting copper-gold-silver and IOCG-style mineralization. While visual sulphides were observed at the Pocologan area, assay results are currently pending from ALS and AGAT laboratories. Reasoning: The release provides a progress update on a drill program. While visual sulphides are encouraging, no assay grades are reported yet, and technical issues \(poor recovery and mechanical failure\) were noted. - Positive factor: Visual disseminated sulphides observed at Pocologan - Positive factor: Geological vectors support IOCG-porphyry model - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols and accredited labs disclosed - Negative factor: Assay results are still pending - Negative factor: Poor core recovery in several holes - Negative factor: Mechanical failures led to abandoned holes at Prince of Wales Facts used in scoring: 3 ## 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 insertion of certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates. Evidence · text > included the insertion of certified reference materials, blanks and duplicate samples **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: Not applicable as QA/QC is disclosed. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (3) ### PP26-01 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/a-i-s-resources-updates-on-phase-1-drill-program-in-saint-john-new-brunswick--c2f59eab-6219-4478-b6f2-f96353d37676#fact-drill-facts-0) Pocologan · copper #### Identity - Hole ID: PP26-01 - Project: Pocologan - Commodity: copper - Region: canada\_nb - Reported Region: canada\_nb - Ticker: AIS #### Geometry - Intercept: 242.5 m - From: 0 m - To: 242.5 m - Hole Depth: 242.5 m - Intercept Depth: 0 m #### Classification - Program: exploration - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: PP26-01:0-242.5 #### Location - Easting: 684235 - Northing: 4997739 - Azimuth: 280 ° - Dip: -50 ° - Loc.

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.
