## Minestarters Atlas summary

Contact Gold reported geochemical rock sampling results at the Green Springs project, featuring gold grades up to 3.64 g/t and significant silver values. The results support the expansion of the X-Ray–Alpha–Tango corridor and define a new 800 x 400m anomaly at the Zulu target.

Reasoning: Rock sampling returned high-grade gold \(3.64 g/t\) and silver, validating extension potential of the Alpha Zone and defining a new large anomaly at the Zulu target.

- Positive factor: high-grade rock samples

- Positive factor: step-out potential

- Positive factor: cohesive anomaly identified

- Negative factor: early-stage exploration

Facts used in scoring: 6

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Samples were collected 190m east of current drill pattern, representing an opportunity to extend mineralization.

Evidence · text

> representing a logical and straightforward opportunity to extend mineralization in the 2024 drill program

**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 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.
