The program involves 4,500 metres of reverse circulation drilling targeting several high-grade zones including X-Ray and Echo. Reasoning: The announcement details the start of a new exploration program backed by a major partner, though the specific drill results provided are historical restatements. - Positive factor: commencement of new drill program - Positive factor: strategic partnership with Centerra Gold - Positive factor: history of high-grade intercepts Facts used in scoring: 9 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Drilling will focus on stepping out from existing zones of high-grade oxidized gold mineralization. Evidence · text > Drilling will focus on stepping out from existing zones of high-grade oxidized gold mineralization **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 8.05 g/t Au over 12.19m is a high grade intercept for the project context. Evidence · text > 8.05 g/t Au over 12.19 metres ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 9. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (9) ### GS22-01 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/contact-gold-begins-2023-drill-program-at-green-springs-gold-project--c4f61543-d0aa-4b7e-8693-d1be72613dcc#fact-drill-facts-0) Green Springs · gold Historical result Needs review: historical\_restatement #### Identity - Hole ID: GS22-01 - Project: Green Springs - Commodity: gold - Region: usa\_nv - Reported Region: Nevada - Ticker: C #### Geometry - Grade: 1.66 - Grade Unit: g/t - Intercept: 28.96 m - From: 9.14 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill #### Review - Needs Review: Yes - Review Reason: historical\_restatement - 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.
