# BULGOLD Samples 21.2g/t Gold at Surface and Expands Kopernica Footprint by 170% to 1,700 Metres by 800 Metres, Lutila Project Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/bulgold-samples-21-2g-t-gold-at-surface-and-expands-kopernica-footprint-by-170-t--958b8428-a7b4-4215-88c4-f182468982be Original source: https://www.juniorminingnetwork.com/junior-miner-news/press-releases/3262-tsx-venture/zlto/212486-bulgold-samples-21-2g-t-gold-at-surface-and-expands-kopernica-footprint-by-170-to-1-700-metres-by-800-metres-lutila-project.html Publisher: jmn Original announcement: 2026-10-07T07:30:20.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-10-07T12:57:58.160Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-10-07T12:57:58.160Z - Company: BULGOLD Inc. - Ticker: ZLTO - Exchange: TSXV - Region: Slovak Republic - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver, Arsenic, Antimony, Thallium - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-10-07 12:57:58 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary BULGOLD has reported high-grade surface sampling results at the Kopernica Vein System, including a 21.2 g/t gold hydrothermal breccia boulder. The company also announced a 170% expansion of the known structural footprint to 1,700m by 800m and identified a new mineralised target to the north. Reasoning: High-grade surface sampling and significant footprint expansion provide strong geological validation for the epithermal system, though lacks the certainty of drill-proven intercepts. - Positive factor: High-grade surface sample \(21.2 g/t Au\) validates geological model - Positive factor: Significant expansion of known structural footprint \(170%\) - Positive factor: Identification of new parallel vein structures - Positive factor: Discovery of new mineralised target to the north with pathfinder signatures - Negative factor: Results are from surface sampling \(float/rock chip\) rather than drill intercepts - Negative factor: Presence of pathfinder elements \(As, Sb, Hg\) indicates potential metallurgical complexity Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The company expanded the known footprint of the Kopernica Vein System by 170% to 1,700m by 800m. Evidence · text > expanded the known footprint of the Kopernica Vein System by 170% to 1,700m by 800m **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: The release details specific QA/QC protocols including blanks, standards, and duplicates, and names SGS Burgas as the laboratory. Evidence · text > Quality control samples, comprising certified reference materials, blanks and field duplicates, are inserted into each batch **Deleterious Elements Present** Polarity: negative Definition: Penalty elements \(arsenic, antimony, etc.\) or refractory concerns noted in the release. Why it applies: The release mentions elevated arsenic \(As\), antimony \(Sb\), and mercury \(Hg\) pathfinder signatures. Evidence · text > highly elevated arsenic \(As\) and antimony \(Sb\) pathfinder signatures ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4.

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.
