## Minestarters Atlas summary

K2 Gold Corporation reported drill results from four additional holes at its Dragonfly Zone, part of the Mojave Project in California. Highlights include 27.43m of 4.08 g/t Au and 3.05m of 17.55 g/t Au, confirming multiple stacked high-grade oxide gold structures. These results extend the mineralization 40m west of the 2020 discovery intercept, with 16 additional drill hole results pending.

Reasoning: K2 Gold announced strong drill results from its Dragonfly Zone, including multiple high-grade and wide intercepts that extend the known oxide gold mineralization. The program successfully stepped out from previous drilling, confirming stacked structures. While QA/QC is robust, the lack of true width disclosure and presence of deleterious elements are minor concerns.

- Positive factor: High-grade gold intercepts, including bonanza grades, confirm and extend mineralization.

- Positive factor: Significant widths of mineralization encountered in multiple holes.

- Positive factor: Step-out drilling successfully extended the known mineralized zone 40m to the west.

- Positive factor: Confirmation of multiple stacked high-grade oxide gold structures suggests robust system.

- Positive factor: Comprehensive QA/QC procedures disclosed, including QP sign-off and accredited lab use.

- Negative factor: True width of mineralization is currently unknown, potentially overstating apparent widths.

- Negative factor: Presence of elevated deleterious elements \(arsenic, antimony, thallium\) noted, which could impact future processing or concentrate quality.

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

Facts used in scoring: 23

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The drilling program was designed as a '40m step back to the west' of a previous discovery intercept, indicating an extension of known mineralization.

Evidence · text

> 40m step back to the west of K2’s 2020 discovery intercept

**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: The release includes a dedicated section detailing QA/QC procedures, including the naming of a QP, an accredited lab, and specific methods like blanks and standards.

Evidence · text

> The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements set out in NI 43-101 and reviewed and approved by Eric Buitenhuis, M.Sc., P.Geo., K2’s QP and Vice President of Exploration. The analytical work for the 2026 drilling program was performed by ALS Laboratories \(“ALS”\) an internationally recognized and accredited analytical services provider. Quality Assurance and Quality Control procedures include inserting coarse blanks and certified assay standards into the sample string at a rate of approximately 1/10 \(10%\).

**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 widths are from angled drill holes and are drilled/apparent widths; true thickness of mineralization is currently unknown.'

Evidence · text

> Reported widths are from angled drill holes and are drilled/apparent widths; true thickness of mineralization is currently unknown.

**Deleterious Elements Present**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Penalty elements \(arsenic, antimony, etc.\) or refractory concerns noted in the release.

Why it applies: The document mentions 'Geochemical associations to Au include elevated As, Ag, Sb, Tl', indicating the presence of penalty elements like arsenic, antimony, and thallium.

Evidence · text

> Geochemical associations to Au include elevated As, Ag, Sb, Tl and typically depleted Ca.

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: The intercept of 3.05m at 17.55 g/t Au in DF26-024 is exceptionally high-grade for an oxide gold system, exceeding the 5 g/t Au exceptional threshold.

Evidence · table

> 17.55

Context: 3.05

**Mill Route**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\).

Why it applies: the document describes a mill\_cil route \("CIL"\)

Reasoning: This high-grade sub-interval highlights a richer zone within the broader intercept of DF26-024.

- Positive factor: Strong gold grade \(3.03 g/t Au\) over a significant width \(16.76m\).

- Positive factor: Confirms high-grade core within the broader intercept.

- Negative factor: True width is unknown, potentially overstating the intercept length.

Reasoning: This intercept shows continued gold mineralization at deeper levels in hole DF26-024, contributing to the overall mineralized footprint.

- Positive factor: Moderate gold grade \(0.57 g/t Au\) over a good width, indicating continued mineralization at depth.

- Negative factor: True width is unknown, potentially overstating the intercept length.

## 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.
