## Minestarters Atlas summary

Auriginal has confirmed a gold-rich VMS system at the Roger project, highlighted by a high-grade intercept of 32.6 g/t gold in hole AUR-26-04A. Drilling also intersected massive sulphides in hole AUR-26-03, expanding the known Roger porphyry system.

Reasoning: High-grade gold intercept \(32.6 g/t\) and confirmation of a new VMS system above the existing porphyry deposit.

- Positive factor: Bonanza grade intercept

- Positive factor: System expansion

- Positive factor: New deposit type \(VMS\) confirmed

Facts used in scoring: 11

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: 32.6 g/t gold significantly exceeds the exceptional threshold for gold.

Evidence · text

> 32.6 g/t Au over 1.2 m

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Drilling has expanded the Roger porphyry system 600 m NE and 500 m SW.

Evidence · text

> Drilling has expanded the Roger porphyry system 600 m NE and 500 m SW

## 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.
