## Minestarters Atlas summary

Highlander Silver has announced a new discovery at the Kusy zone within the Bonita vein system in Peru. The highlight is hole BOD-021, which returned 23.6m at 15.56 g/t gold and 74.49 g/t silver, marking the highest grades reported to date for the project.

Reasoning: The announcement reports a new discovery \(Kusy zone\) with exceptional gold grades \(15.56 g/t over 23.6m\) and significant silver credits, representing a high-grade expansion of the Bonita vein system.

- Positive factor: discovery of new Kusy zone

- Positive factor: exceptional gold grades

- Positive factor: step-out drilling success

- Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed

- Negative factor: apparent widths reported

Facts used in scoring: 20

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: BOD-021 targets the central portion of Kusy, 150m northeast of previously reported drilling.

Evidence · text

> targeting the central portion of Kusy approximately 150m to the northeast of previously reported drilling

**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 detailed QA/QC protocols, including field duplicates, standards, blanks, and independent lab \(ALS\) verification.

Evidence · text

> The internal QA/QC program includes the submission of field duplicates \(1/4 core\), pulp and coarse reject duplicates, and the insertion of commercial standards and blanks.

**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: The document explicitly states that reported intervals are apparent widths.

Evidence · text

> Reported intervals are apparent widths as the full geometry of the mineralized structures has not yet been fully modelled.

- Negative factor: Scored from rubric bands during table expansion, not from document context.

Bonita · silver

#### Identity

- Hole ID: and
- Project: Bonita
- Commodity: silver
- Region: peru
- Reported Region: Central Peru
- Ticker: HSLV

#### Geometry

- Grade: 1.37
- Grade Unit: g/t
- Intercept: 2.6 m
- From: 73.9 m
- To: 76.5 m

#### Classification

- Sample Type: drill
- Group ID: and:73.9-76.5
- Mining Method: underground

#### Review

- Needs Review: No
- Interp. Status: scored
- Historical: No

#### Dates

- Event date: 2025-10-06T00:00:00.000Z

Reasoning: Expanded from assay table. 1.37 g/t silver is below against the default band \[500, 200, 100, 30\] g/t. Grade×width 3.6 g/t·m is below.

- Negative factor: 1.37 g/t silver is below the weak threshold \(30 g/t\) on the default band.

- Negative factor: Scored from rubric bands during table expansion, not from document context.

## 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.
