## Minestarters Atlas summary

RTG Mining Inc. reported high-grade gold and copper results from trench sampling at the Chanach Project in the Kyrgyz Republic. The results include intercepts up to 5.53 g/t Au and 4.05 g/t Au with 1.56% Cu, highlighting significant skarn and quartz vein mineralisation.

Reasoning: High-grade gold and copper intercepts from trench sampling demonstrate strong prospectivity in skarn and quartz vein structures.

- Positive factor: High-grade trench intercepts

- Positive factor: True width reported for trench samples

- Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed with certified lab

Facts used in scoring: 9

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: 5.53 g/t Au exceeds the exceptional threshold for gold.

Evidence · text

> 5m @ 5.53g/t Au from Cut 5

**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 standard industry protocols, certified reference materials, blanks, and splits.

Evidence · text

> Laboratory QAQC involves the use of internal lab standards using certified reference material, blanks, splits and replicates

**True Width Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length.

Why it applies: Trench samples are stated to represent true widths of the mineralisation.

Evidence · text

> The 2023 trench samples were taken from meter length samples taken at right angles across the mapped vein and represent true widths of the mineralisation.

## 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.
