The results include high-grade gold intercepts and widespread quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration, suggesting a large hydrothermal system. Reasoning: The release reports high-grade gold intercepts \(up to 11.05 g/t\) and significant alteration patterns consistent with a large porphyry/epithermal system, though some holes were truncated by faulting. - Positive factor: strong mineralization in narrow intervals - Positive factor: widespread alteration indicating large hydrothermal system - Positive factor: discovery of late-mineral intrusion with mineralized xenoliths - Negative factor: hole MGDH24-003 stopped prematurely in a fault zone - Negative factor: narrow intervals reported Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **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 ALS facility, certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates. Evidence · text > Sample batches include certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicate samples that are then processed under the control of ALS. **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 11.05 g/t gold is exceptionally high for this target type. Evidence · text > 1.5 m of 11.05 gpt gold in MGDH24-003 ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (3) ### MGDH24-002 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/chakana-provides-interim-update-on-scout-drilling-program-soledad-project-peru--332cea29-02e1-4a0b-bd3d-0a376400e623#fact-drill-facts-0) Soledad Project · gold #### Identity - Hole ID: MGDH24-002 - Project: Soledad Project - Commodity: gold - Region: peru - Reported Region: Ancash, Peru - Ticker: PERU #### Geometry - Grade: 1.8 - Grade Unit: gpt - Intercept: 2 m - From: 89 m - To: 91 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: MGDH24-002:89.0-91.0 - Mining Method: unknown #### QA/QC - Laboratory: ALS - QA/QC Disclosed: Yes - Lab Certified: Yes - QP Signed: Yes #### Review - Needs Review: No - Interp.

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.
