## Minestarters Atlas summary

Galleon Gold has reported a significant high-grade gold intercept of 16.07 g/t Au over 9.25 m in hole WC-26-237, representing a major down-dip extension of Zone \#9 at the West Cache Gold Project. The hole also returned a broad 40.9 m intercept at 4.07 g/t Au, reinforcing the continuity of the mineralized system at depth.

Reasoning: The intercept represents a major down-dip extension of the high-grade Zone \#9, with grades and widths that significantly enhance the project's scale potential.

- Positive factor: significant down-dip extension of known Zone \#9

- Positive factor: high-grade intercept \(16.07 g/t Au\)

- Positive factor: broad mineralized width \(40.9 m\)

- Positive factor: true width disclosed

Facts used in scoring: 5

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The intercept is located 275 meters down-dip from high grade Zone \#9 intercepts, representing a major down-dip extension.

Evidence · text

> Major Down-Dip Extension of Zone \#9

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: 16.07 g/t Au over 9.25 m is exceptionally high grade.

Evidence · text

> 16.07 g/t Au over 9.25 m

**True Width Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: The table provides Length \(TT\) which is the true thickness.

Evidence · table

> 40.28

Context: 40.90

**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 mentions AGAT Laboratories, CRM, and specific QC protocols.

Evidence · text

> Quality Control and Assurance procedures and protocols are executed

## 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.
