## Minestarters Atlas summary

Forge Resources has completed its 2026 diamond drilling campaign at the Alotta Project in the Yukon. Highlights include the intersection of visible gold in hole ALT-26-020 and widespread porphyry-style mineralization in hole ALT-26-021. Assay results from ALS Laboratories are currently pending.

Reasoning: The company reported visible gold and extensive porphyry-style alteration, which is highly encouraging for the project, though actual assay grades are still pending.

- Positive factor: visible gold intersection

- Positive factor: porphyry-style alteration and mineralization

- Positive factor: QA/QC protocols disclosed

- Positive factor: QP sign-off provided

- Negative factor: assays not yet released

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**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 details specific QA/QC procedures including blanks, standards, and duplicates.

Evidence · text

> Certified assay standards, coarse reject duplicates, field duplicates and blanks are routinely inserted

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

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: Kelson Willms, P.Geo. is named as the Qualified Person.

Evidence · text

## 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.
