The results from hole RIFT26-008 confirm that the Trinity Zone extends to depth. Reasoning: High-grade REO intercepts over significant widths confirm the extension of the Trinity Zone to depth. - Positive factor: significant width and grade - Positive factor: extension of known mineralization - Positive factor: step-out success Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: RIFT26-008 was drilled 50 m NE of historical discovery drillholes and confirms the Trinity Zone extends to depth.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated ## 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.
