## Minestarters Atlas summary

GoldHaven Resources Corp. reported that hole GOH26-04 at the Magno Project intersected a new skarn zone beneath a previously identified extension. While the visual observations of magnetite, garnet, and diopside skarn are encouraging, no assay results have been released to confirm grades.

Reasoning: The company intersected a new skarn zone at depth, extending the known system, but the lack of assay results means economic significance is unconfirmed.

- Positive factor: Intersection of new skarn zone

- Positive factor: Extension of drilling beyond planned depth

- Positive factor: Visual evidence of continuous mineralization

- Negative factor: No assay results reported

- Negative factor: True width is preliminary interpretation

- Negative factor: Visual observations only

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Drilling intersected a new skarn zone beneath the previously reported down-dip extension.

Evidence · text

> continued drilling intersected a new skarn zone beneath the previously reported down-dip extension at Kuhn

**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: While a QP is named, no specific assay results or laboratory QA/QC protocols for these specific intervals are provided in this release.

Evidence · text

> No assay results have been reported from the intervals described

#### Review

- Needs Review: No
- Interp. Status: scored
- Historical: No

#### Dates

- Event date: 2026-09-24T00:00:00.000Z

Reasoning: Visual intersection of a new skarn zone totaling 145m drill length; however, grades are unconfirmed.

- Positive factor: New skarn zone identified

- Negative factor: No assay results

- Negative factor: Preliminary true width

Evidence · text

> Newly identified intervals total approximately 145 metres of drill length. Based on the Company's current geological interpretation, true thickness is estimated at approximately 40 to 45 metres

#### Tags used in scoring

**True Width Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: true\_width\_m is 42.5

**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.
