# Deep Drilling Intersects Epithermal Mineralisation 1 km Below Proprietary Pit at Peak Hill Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/deep-drilling-intersects-epithermal-mineralisation-1-km-below-proprietary-pit-at--29840c83-3e40-4c31-ace0-5ab699059f58 Original source: https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/10/15/3381253/0/en/deep-drilling-intersects-epithermal-mineralisation-1-km-below-proprietary-pit-at-peak-hill.html Publisher: globenewswire Original announcement: 2026-10-15T00:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-10-15T02:34:02.667Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-10-15T02:34:02.667Z - Company: Alkane Resources Limited - Ticker: ALK - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: New South Wales - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Copper - Document categories: Drill results, Resource update - Extracted: 2026-10-15 02:34:03 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.00 · Neutral ## Minestarters Atlas summary Alkane Resources Limited announced exploration results from deep drilling at its Peak Hill Gold Project in New South Wales, Australia. Hole PHD084 intersected epithermal mineralization 1 km below the Proprietary pit, extending the known system to depth. While grades were lower than previously seen, the drilling confirmed the vertical continuity of alteration and identified a substantial area for further exploration, with follow-up drilling planned. The company also restated its historical 2018 JORC Inferred Resource for the Proprietary underground deposit, totaling 1.02 Mt at 3.29 g/t Au and 0.15% Cu. Reasoning: The deep drill hole PHD084 extended the epithermal alteration system to 1 km depth, confirming geological continuity and identifying further exploration potential, but the reported gold and copper grades are generally low, and the primary porphyry target was not resolved. The historical resource update is low novelty. - Positive factor: depth\_extension - Positive factor: true\_width\_disclosed - Positive factor: qaqc\_disclosed - Positive factor: compositing\_transparent - Positive factor: step\_out\_extension - Negative factor: low\_grade\_intercepts - Negative factor: primary\_target\_not\_resolved Facts used in scoring: 50 ## Classification and evidence **True Width Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length. Why it applies: The document states, 'Reported results include the drilled width and an estimate of true width. The true width is approximately 70% of the drilled width.' Evidence · text > Reported results include the drilled width and an estimate of true width. The true width is approximately 70% of the drilled width. **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 mentions 'Sampling and QAQC procedures are carried out using Alkane protocols as per industry best practice' and details methods like CRM insertion, internal duplicates, and screen tests. Evidence · text > Sampling and QAQC procedures are carried out using Alkane protocols as per industry best practice. **Compositing Transparent** Polarity: positive Definition: Cut-off grade and internal dilution rules are clearly stated for reported intervals. Why it applies: The document states, 'Reported intercepts for exploration drilling are calculated using a broad lower cut of 0.1g/t Au and/or 0.05% Cu. Although grades lower than these may be present internally \(internal dilution\). Short intervals of high grades that have a material impact on overall intersection are reported as separate \(included\) intervals.' Evidence · text > Reported intercepts for exploration drilling are calculated using a broad lower cut of 0.1g/t Au and/or 0.05% Cu. Although grades lower than these may be present internally \(internal dilution\). Short intervals of high grades that have a material impact on overall intersection are reported as separate \(included\) intervals. **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The drilling was a 'very deep drill hole completed approximately 600m vertically below previous drilling' and 'highlights the potential for mineralisation to continue at significant depth beneath Peak Hill'. Evidence · text > One very deep drill hole completed approximately 600m vertically below previous drilling. **Exploration Drilling** Polarity: neutral Story-specific tag Definition: No canonical definition is currently available. Why it applies: The document describes the drilling as 'exploration results' and states 'The exploration stage is early, and data spacing is variable with the focus on identifying new zones of mineralisation.' Evidence · text > The exploration stage is early, and data spacing is variable with the focus on identifying new zones of mineralisation. **Inferred Resource** Polarity: negative Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone. Why it applies: The resource is classified as 'Inferred' in the table and text. Evidence · table > Inferred Context: 1.02 **All Inferred** Polarity: negative Definition: 100% of resource is Inferred category — very early stage, no engineering confidence. Why it applies: The entire reported resource is in the Inferred category. Evidence · table > Inferred Context: 1.02 **JORC Compliant** Polarity: positive Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with JORC Code \(Australia\) — high reporting standard. Why it applies: The resource is stated to be 'JORC \(2012\) Inferred Resource'. Evidence · text > JORC \(2012\) Inferred Resource **NI 43-101 Compliant** Polarity: positive Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard. Why it applies: The classifications are stated to be 'consistent with Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum \(CIM\) Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves \(CIM \(2014\) definitions\)'. Evidence · text > classifications are consistent with Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum \(CIM\) Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves \(CIM \(2014\) definitions\) **QP/CP Signed** Polarity: positive Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience. Why it applies: Mr David Meates is named as a Competent Person under JORC and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101 for the report. Evidence · text > Mr David Meates. Mr Meates is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists \(MAIG\). Mr Meates has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources, and Ore Reserves” \(JORC Code\). For the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects \(‘NI 43-101’\), the scientific and technical information contained in this announcement has been prepared under the supervision of, and approved by, Mr David Meates, who is a “qualified person” as defined in NI 43-101. **Cut-off Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison. Why it applies: The resource table explicitly states a 'Cut-Off' of '2g/t Au'. Evidence · table > 2g/t Au Context: Inferred **Stale Estimate** Polarity: negative Definition: Effective date is >2 years old — data currency concern, may not reflect current geological understanding. Why it applies: The resource estimate is 'as at October 2018' but the announcement is published in October 2026, making it 8 years old. Evidence · text > PEAK HILL GOLD PROJECT MINERAL RESOURCES as at October 2018 **Refractory Ore** Polarity: negative Definition: Ore requires oxidation/pressure treatment before recovery — a processing and recovery risk. Why it applies: The document states, 'The refractory sulphide orebody beneath the pits has a JORC \(2012\) Inferred Resource'. Evidence · text > The refractory sulphide orebody beneath the pits has a JORC \(2012\) Inferred Resource ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 50.

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.
