## Minestarters Atlas summary

Galleon Gold has extended the Zone \#9 corridor at the West Cache Gold Project to a vertical extent of over 500 metres. Drill results from holes WC-26-238, WC-26-240, and WC-26-236 confirm down-plunge continuity and strike extension, bridging the gap toward the historic West Deep zone.

Reasoning: The results demonstrate a major structural extension of the Zone \#9 corridor, tracing mineralization over 500m vertically and linking recent drilling to historic high-grade zones.

- Positive factor: significant vertical extension of Zone \#9

- Positive factor: continuity between recent and historic drilling

- Positive factor: high-grade intercepts

- Positive factor: strike length extension

Facts used in scoring: 10

## Classification and evidence

**True Width Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length.

Why it applies: The table provides a 'Length\(TT\)' column representing true thickness.

Evidence · text

> Length\(TT\)² is the intercept's true thickness

**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 protocols including CRM, blanks, standards, and duplicates.

Evidence · text

> Commercially prepared certified reference material \(CRM\) and duplicate samples are inserted

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The results extend the Zone \#9 corridor 360 metres down-plunge.

Evidence · text

> extend Zone \#9 mineralization 360 metres down-plunge

## 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.
