# Awalé Hits 3.7 g/t Gold and 0.85% Copper \(4.2 g/t AuEq.\) over 10 Metres within 1.9 g/t Gold and 0.57% Copper over 42 Metres in Deep Drilling at BBM Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/awale-hits-3-7-g-t-gold-and-0-85-copper-4-2-g-t-aueq-over-10-metres-within-1-9-g--a8ed657f-b487-41cc-9960-19b37c769a51 Original source: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/awal-hits-3-7-g-110000541.html Publisher: yahoo\_press Original announcement: 2026-03-16T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Awalé - Ticker: ARIC - Exchange: TSXV - Region: Unavailable - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Copper - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-08-21 01:06:52 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Awalé reported high-grade gold-copper drill results from deep drilling at the BBM project. Notable intercepts include 3.7 g/t gold and 0.85% copper over 10 metres, supporting the project's underground potential. Reasoning: Significant gold-copper intercepts at depth, including a high-grade 10m zone, demonstrating step-out success. - Positive factor: High-grade gold-copper intercepts - Positive factor: Step-out drilling success - Positive factor: Supports underground potential Facts used in scoring: 8 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The release explicitly mentions a step-out hole BBDD-27 returned and describes the results as part of deep drilling. Evidence · text > Step-out hole BBDD-27 returned. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 8. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (8) ### BBDD-21 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/awale-hits-3-7-g-t-gold-and-0-85-copper-4-2-g-t-aueq-over-10-metres-within-1-9-g--a8ed657f-b487-41cc-9960-19b37c769a51#fact-drill-facts-0) BBM · gold #### Identity - Hole ID: BBDD-21 - Project: BBM - Commodity: gold - Ticker: ARIC #### Geometry - Grade: 1.9 - Grade Unit: g/t - Intercept: 42 m - From: 570 m - To: 612 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: BBDD-21:570-612 - Mining Method: underground #### 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.
