# Gold Hunter Resources Concludes 2026 Drill Program at the Great Northern Project Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/gold-hunter-resources-concludes-2026-drill-program-at-the-great-northern-project--f5f3e2e8-5217-40ee-b702-93829410a759 Original source: https://www.juniorminingnetwork.com/junior-miner-news/press-releases/2921-cse/hunt/211924-gold-hunter-concludes-2026-drill-program-at-the-great-northern-project.html Publisher: jmn Original announcement: 2026-09-28T19:27:02.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-09-29T17:20:06.370Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-09-29T17:20:06.370Z - Company: Gold Hunter Resources Inc. - Ticker: HUNT - Exchange: CSE - Region: Newfoundland/Labrador - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver - Document categories: Drill results, Resource update - Extracted: 2026-09-29 17:20:07 UTC Narrative sentiment: -0.20 · Bearish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Gold Hunter Resources has concluded its 2026 drill program at the Great Northern Project, having drilled 2,879 metres in 13 holes. The program was significantly shorter than the planned 10,000 metres because drilling costs per metre exceeded budget estimates. Assay results for the new drilling are currently pending. Reasoning: The company concluded its drill program significantly under the planned meterage due to budget exhaustion caused by higher-than-expected costs per metre. While it completed the first drill test of the Viking North trend, the lack of new assay results and the budget overrun create a mixed/slightly negative sentiment. - Positive factor: completion of inaugural drill program - Positive factor: first drill test of Viking North trend - Negative factor: drill program significantly shorter than planned \(2,879m vs 10,000m\) - Negative factor: drilling costs per metre substantially exceeded estimates - Negative factor: access issues/permit delays at Thor Deposit - Negative factor: assay results for 2026 program are still pending Facts used in scoring: 9 ## Classification and evidence **No QA/QC Disclosure** Polarity: negative Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document. Why it applies: The release states assay results are pending and will be reviewed by a QP, but does not disclose specific QA/QC protocols for the 2026 program yet. Evidence · text > Results will be released once received and reviewed and interpreted by the Company's Qualified Person. **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: Historical intercepts are explicitly stated to be core lengths with unknown true widths. Evidence · text > Historical drill intercepts are reported as core lengths and true widths are unknown. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 9. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (7) ### KR-10-07 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/gold-hunter-resources-concludes-2026-drill-program-at-the-great-northern-project--f5f3e2e8-5217-40ee-b702-93829410a759#fact-drill-facts-2) gold Historical result Needs review: historical\_restatement #### Identity - Hole ID: KR-10-07 - Commodity: gold - Region: canada\_nl - Reported Region: canada\_nl - Ticker: HUNT #### Geometry - Grade: 1.12 - Grade Unit: g/t - Intercept: 20.05 m - From: 53.5 m - To: 73.55 m - Intercept Depth: 53.5 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: KR-10-07:53.5-73.55 #### QA/QC - QA/QC Disclosed: Yes - QP Signed: Yes - QA/QC Methods: standards, blanks, duplicates #### Review - Needs Review: Yes - Review Reason: historical\_restatement - Interp.
