The company also reported high-grade silver-lead prospecting results at Connaught and strong copper outcrop samples at its PIL Property in BC. Reasoning: The announcement reports significant first-pass porphyry drilling at Connaught and high-grade vein prospecting, though the porphyry copper grades are currently low. - Positive factor: first-ever drill holes targeting porphyry mineralization at Connaught - Positive factor: high-grade silver-lead vein prospecting results - Positive factor: strong copper values at PIL South target - Negative factor: low copper grades in porphyry targets \(0.10% Cu\) - Negative factor: true widths for drill intercepts are unknown Facts used in scoring: 18 ## Classification and evidence No classification tags are available. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 18. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (18) ### CNR-22-001 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/atac-announces-results-of-copper-gold-exploration-at-its-connaught-and-pil-prope--2074410a-474c-4e86-9071-13078e0e7a27#fact-drill-facts-0) Connaught · copper #### Identity - Hole ID: CNR-22-001 - Project: Connaught - Commodity: copper - Region: canada\_yt - Reported Region: Yukon - Ticker: ATC #### Geometry - Grade: 0.1 - Grade Unit: % - Intercept: 67.06 m - From: 0 m - To: 67.06 m #### Classification - Deposit Type: porphyry - Program: exploration - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: CNR-22-001:0.0-67.06 - Mining Method: open\_pit #### QA/QC - Laboratory: ALS Canada Ltd - QA/QC Disclosed: Yes - Lab Certified: Yes - QP Signed: Yes - QA/QC Methods: blanks, standards, duplicates #### Review - Needs Review: No - Interp.

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.
