## Minestarters Atlas summary

Rua Gold Inc. has reported high-grade gold-antimony drill results at its Auld Creek project in New Zealand, including an intercept of 6.6 m at 24.9 g/t AuEq. The company confirmed the Fraternal structure extends over 1,400m and is targeting an updated Mineral Resource Estimate in Q4 2026.

Reasoning: The release reports several high-grade gold-antimony intercepts and confirms significant structural continuity at the Auld Creek project, supporting an upcoming resource update.

- Positive factor: High-grade gold-antimony intercepts reported

- Positive factor: Mineralization continuity confirmed over 1,400m strike

- Positive factor: High conversion ratio of inferred to indicated resources \(>70%\)

- Positive factor: Visible gold observed in drill core

- Negative factor: Intercepts are downhole lengths without true width stated

- Negative factor: Gold equivalent assumptions \(prices/recoveries\) may differ from realized market values

- Negative factor: Selective reporting of highlighted intercepts

Facts used in scoring: 13

## 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 specific assay methods \(fire assay, AAS, lithium borate fusion, XRF\) and laboratory names \(SGS, ALS\).

Evidence · text

> Core samples were sent to SGS Laboratories, Westport for sample preparation, and pulverized samples were analyzed by ALS Brisbane for gold by 50 g fire assay with AAS finish and for antimony by lithium borate fusion with an XRF finish

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: ACDDH127 contains a sub-interval of 43.6 g/t Au.

Evidence · text

> including 0.3 m at 43.6 g/t Au

**Apparent Width Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness.

Why it applies: The release states intercepts are downhole core lengths and may not represent true widths.

Evidence · text

> Intercepts are downhole core lengths that may not represent true widths

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: qaqc\_disclosed is not 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

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: drill\_program\_type is "resource"

## 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.
