## Minestarters Atlas summary

CopAur Minerals has expanded the Troy Canyon mineralized trend to over 1,000 metres following a 2025 surface sampling program. The program yielded high-grade gold and silver intercepts, including 23.1 g/t Au, and identified a new mineralized quartz-hematite breccia zone.

Reasoning: Significant expansion of the mineralized trend from 400m to &gt;1,000m and high-grade gold/silver surface samples.

- Positive factor: Step-Out Extension

- Positive factor: QA/QC Disclosed

- Positive factor: Bonanza Intercept

- Negative factor: Rock grab samples are selective by nature

Facts used in scoring: 14

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Mapping and prospecting resulted in the expansion of the Troy mineralized trend from 400 to greater than 1,000 metres.

Evidence · text

> expansion of the Troy mineralized trend from 400 to greater than 1,000 metres

**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 includes QA/QC disclosure regarding ALS Global's accreditation and the use of standards, blanks, and duplicates.

Evidence · text

> ALS is an ISO-IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015 accredited geoanalytical laboratory

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: Sample E07231 returned 23.1 g/t Au, which is high grade for surface sampling.

Evidence · table

> 23.1

Context: E07231

## 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.
