# Altamira Gold Drills 130m @ 0.5g/t Gold in Step-Out Hole 110m North of the Maria Bonita Mineral Resource, Within the Cajueiro District, Brazil Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/altamira-gold-drills-130m-0-5g-t-gold-in-step-out-hole-110m-north-of-the-maria-b--ade10489-eb35-4619-bffb-7ba27ee3f75d Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/ALTA/news/7481392429691254/altamira-gold-drills-130m-0-5g-t-gold-in-step-out-hole-110m-north-of-the-maria-b Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-05-20T11:29:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Altamira Gold Corp. - Ticker: ALTA - Exchange: TSX - Region: Mato Grosso, Brazil - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-08-20 22:55:39 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Altamira Gold reported successful step-out drilling at the Maria Bonita project in Brazil, with hole MBA037 intersecting 130m at 0.5 g/t gold. The results extend the known mineralized zone 110m north of the current resource boundary, suggesting the deposit remains open in multiple directions. Reasoning: The drill hole MBA037 successfully extended the known Maria Bonita mineralized footprint 110m to the north with consistent gold grades in a porphyry-style system. - Positive factor: Step-out extension of known mineralization - Positive factor: Wide mineralized intervals - Positive factor: Consistent mineralization style with core resource Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Hole MBA037 is located 110m north of the edge of the current Maria Bonita mineral resource. Evidence · text > located 110m north of the edge of the current Maria Bonita mineral resource **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 details laboratory \(SGS Geosol\), methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\), and QP supervision. Evidence · text > Quality control of drill hole assays follows normal industry procedures of inserting control samples randomly ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3.

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.
