## Minestarters Atlas summary

Grizzly Discoveries has reported highly anomalous polymetallic drill results from its 2026 program at the Sappho Skarn Target in British Columbia. All seven core holes intersected mineralization containing copper, gold, silver, nickel, cobalt, zinc, and PGEs, with notable CuEq intercepts including 1.0% over 13.68 m in hole 26SPDD005.

Reasoning: The drilling program successfully intersected highly anomalous polymetallic mineralization across all holes, including a notable 1.0% CuEq intercept in hole 26SPDD005.

- Positive factor: Highly anomalous polymetallic mineralization intersected in all 7 holes

- Positive factor: Significant CuEq intercepts reported

- Positive factor: QA/QC protocols and certified lab \(ALS\) disclosed

- Positive factor: QP sign-off provided

- Negative factor: Metal equivalent assumptions disclosed but no metallurgical work completed

- Negative factor: True widths not yet determined

Facts used in scoring: 10

## 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: Release includes details on ALS Global laboratory, insertion of standards, blanks, and duplicates.

Evidence · text

> quality assurance/quality control \("QA/QC"\) program consisting of the insertion of certified standards, blanks and duplicates

**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: Michael B. Dufresne, P.Geo., is named as the Qualified Person.

Evidence · text

> approved by Michael B. Dufresne, M. Sc., P. Geol., P.Geo., who is a non-independent Qualified Person

**Metal Equivalent Opaque**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Metal equivalent grade reported without disclosing the price, recovery, or payability assumptions used.

Why it applies: CuEq calculation is reported without disclosing the specific metallurgical recoveries used for each metal in the headline, though assumptions are provided in the footnote.

Evidence · text

> assumed recoveries of 90% as no metallurgical work has been completed

## 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.
