## Minestarters Atlas summary

Centurion Minerals completed a reconnaissance panning and scouting program at the Limestone Gold Project in Suriname, identifying visible gold in 85.4% of samples. The company has identified two priority targets for a planned auger program and is currently mapping Target 3.

Reasoning: Reconnaissance panning program successfully identified alluvial gold and established two priority targets for upcoming auger sampling, though lack of numeric assay grades limits technical materiality.

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

- Positive factor: Identification of priority exploration targets

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

- Negative factor: No assay grades reported \(panning only\)

- 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 references the discovery approach used by Suralco \(Alcoa\) at the Merian Gold Mine to guide future exploration.

Evidence · text

> The program will be similar to the approach used by Suralco \(Alcoa\) in the discovery of the Merian Gold Mine.

**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 \(Dr. Dennis LaPoint, P.Geo.\).

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

**Mill Route**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\).

Why it applies: the document describes a mill\_cil route \("CIP"\)

## 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.
