## Minestarters Atlas summary

Contact Gold has reported step-out drill results from the X-Ray Zone at the Green Springs project in Nevada, extending the zone by 120 metres. The results include several thick oxide gold intercepts, including 0.80 g/t Au over 48.77 metres in hole GS23-14.

Reasoning: Step-out drilling successfully extended the X-Ray zone by 120m with consistent oxide gold intercepts, although grades are moderate compared to the project's best historical intercepts.

- Positive factor: Step-Out Extension

- Positive factor: continuity

- Positive factor: wide open for growth

Facts used in scoring: 6

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Drilling at GS23-13 and GS23-14 from a new pad 100m south of discovery zone extends the X-Ray zone.

> Contact Gold Extends X-Ray Zone by 120 Metres in Step-Out Drilling

**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 names a Qualified Person \(Vance Spalding, CPG\) and references NI 43-101 compliance.

Evidence · text

> reviewed and approved by Vance Spalding, CPG, VP Exploration, Contact Gold, who is a “qualified person” within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101

## 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.
