## Minestarters Atlas summary

Altamira Gold has identified a second gold-mineralized porphyry body at its Tavares Norte target within the Cajueiro District, Brazil. Initial reconnaissance drilling at TVN002 returned a broad 161.7m interval at 0.2 g/t gold, including notable intercepts of 18.6m at 0.4 g/t gold.

Reasoning: The announcement reports the discovery of a new porphyry body at the Tavares Norte target, which is geologically similar to the existing Maria Bonita resource, representing a significant exploration milestone despite relatively low grades.

- Positive factor: discovery of a second porphyry body

- Positive factor: geological similarity to known resource

- Positive factor: broad mineralization width

- Negative factor: low grades in reconnaissance holes

Facts used in scoring: 5

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The drilling at Tavares Norte identifies a new porphyry body 5.5km east of Maria Bonita.

Evidence · text

> indicates the presence of a second mineralized porphyry body

**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 mentions SGS laboratory, blanks, and standards.

Evidence · text

> Gold analysis has been conducted by SGS method FAA505... Analytical quality is monitored by certified references and blanks.

## 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.
