## Minestarters Atlas summary

Centurion Minerals completed a reconnaissance panning program at the Limestone Gold Project in Suriname, identifying visible gold in 85.4% of 48 samples. The results have led to the identification of two priority targets for an upcoming auger sampling program.

Reasoning: Reconnaissance panning program successfully identified widespread alluvial gold and established new targets, though lack of numeric assay grades limits technical quantification.

- Positive factor: High positive sample rate \(85.4%\)

- Positive factor: Identification of two priority exploration targets

- Positive factor: Presence of pyritic silicified rock in Target 3

- Negative factor: No assay grades reported \(only visible grain counts\)

- Negative factor: Gold is predominantly fine-grained

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results.

Why it applies: The program identifies targets based on alluvial gold distribution and proximity to historic small-scale mining activity.

Evidence · text

> In several drainages, second-growth vegetation also indicated areas of historic small-scale mining activity

**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 includes a sign-off by a Qualified Person \(Dr. Dennis LaPoint, P.Geo.\) under NI 43-101.

Evidence · text

> The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Dr. Dennis LaPoint, P.Geo., who is a Qualified Person

Evidence · text

> Visible gold was identified in 41 samples, representing an 85.4% positive sample rate.

#### Tags used in scoring

**No QA/QC Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document.

Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is not true

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

## 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.
