## Minestarters Atlas summary

Bonterra Resources has released preliminary 2026 exploration results from its Desmaraisville South Project in Quebec. Highlights include high-grade gold intercepts with visible gold at the O'Brien East Deep Target and the Céré-Murgor Target.

Reasoning: The release reports several high-grade gold intercepts including visible gold at a new target, though many results from the campaign remain pending.

- Positive factor: high-grade gold intercepts

- Positive factor: visible gold observed

- Positive factor: QA/QC protocols disclosed

- Positive factor: multiple targets identified

- Negative factor: apparent width only \(true width not stated\)

- Negative factor: many assay results still pending

Facts used in scoring: 8

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: 16.03 g/t Au over 0.4 m is exceptionally high grade.

Evidence · text

> 16.03 g/t Au over 0.4 m \(visible gold or VG\)

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: Release mentions MSALABS and AGAT laboratories, use of blanks, standards, and duplicates.

Evidence · text

> Blanks, duplicates, and certified reference standards are inserted into the sample stream

**Apparent Width Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness.

Why it applies: The release states that true widths are not yet known.

Evidence · text

> Reported intervals represent drilled core lengths; true widths are not yet known.

## 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.
