# BOA goes six from six with high-grade Ricci Lee copper Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/boa-goes-six-from-six-with-high-grade-ricci-lee-copper--1d099388-170d-4640-baee-1c374cd62150 Original source: https://stockhead.com.au/resources/boa-goes-six-from-six-with-high-grade-ricci-lee-copper/ Publisher: stockhead Original announcement: 2026-09-21T03:49:14.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-09-21T05:03:04.709Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-09-21T05:03:04.709Z - Company: BOA Resources - Ticker: BOA - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: Western Australia - Primary commodity: Copper - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-09-21 05:03:05 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary BOA Resources has reported high-grade copper results from the first six RC holes at the Ricci Lee prospect, part of the Neds Creek project in WA. All initial holes returned grades above 1% Cu, with standout intercepts including 7m at 4.60% Cu. The company has a significant exploration news flow ahead with 40 holes currently awaiting assays. Reasoning: The first six RC holes of a maiden program all returned significant copper grades, including high-grade sub-intervals, supporting the potential for a maiden resource. - Positive factor: High-grade copper intercepts \(>1% Cu in all initial holes\) - Positive factor: Standout bonanza-style intercepts \(4.60% Cu\) - Positive factor: Supports continuity of mineralisation - Positive factor: Maiden drilling program success - Negative factor: 40 holes still pending assays Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 7m at 4.60% Cu is an exceptionally high-grade zone. Evidence · text > 7m at 4.60% Cu **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Program expanded to add strike extensions and deeper holes. Evidence · text > expanding the program past its original 5500m plan to add strike extensions **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: Ricci Lee is positioned as a geological analogue to the nearby Thaduna deposit. Evidence · text > BOA interprets Ricci Lee as a geological analogue as the two deposits occur in the same stratigraphic and structural setting ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6.

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.
