## Minestarters Atlas summary

Hanstone Gold has announced its first NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate for the Doc Property in British Columbia. The maiden Inferred resource contains approximately 114,000 ounces of gold and 488,000 ounces of silver at a 3.0 g/t AuEq cut-off.

Reasoning: Initial maiden resource estimate for the Doc Property showing high-grade gold and silver, though entirely in the Inferred category.

- Positive factor: Maiden resource establishment

- Positive factor: High grade intercepts

- Positive factor: Excellent continuity across cut-offs

- Positive factor: QP sign-off

- Negative factor: 100% Inferred category

- Negative factor: Low geological confidence

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**Maiden Resource**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: First formal MRE for the project — establishes baseline but typically exploration-stage with high Inferred component.

Why it applies: First formal MRE for the Doc Property.

Evidence · text

> initial NI 43-101 compliant gold and silver Mineral Resource Estimate

**All Inferred**

Polarity: negative

Definition: 100% of resource is Inferred category — very early stage, no engineering confidence.

Why it applies: 100% of the reported resource is in the Inferred category.

Evidence · text

> The Inferred Mineral Resource in this estimate has a lower level of confidence

**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: Eugene Puritch, P.Eng., has reviewed and approved the technical contents.

Evidence · text

> Eugene Puritch, P.Eng., FEC, CET, President of P&E Mining Consultants Inc. and independent Qualified Person, has reviewed and approved

**Cut-off Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison.

Why it applies: The 3.0 g/t AuEq cut-off is clearly stated.

Evidence · text

> A cut-off value of 3.0 g/t AuEq was used

## 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.
