## Minestarters Atlas summary

K2 Gold Corporation announced new drill results from four holes at the Dragonfly Zone of its Mojave Project in California, confirming and extending high-grade oxide gold mineralization. Hole DF26-028 returned a significant intercept of 53.34m at 2.00 g/t Au, including a high-grade core of 15.24m at 5.33 g/t Au, extending the known mineralization southward into previously untested ground. The results continue to demonstrate multiple stacked gold-bearing structures that remain open in all directions.

Reasoning: New drill results confirm and extend high-grade oxide gold mineralization at the Dragonfly Zone, with several strong to exceptional intercepts, particularly in hole DF26-028, indicating significant potential for further expansion.

- Positive factor: High-grade oxide gold intercepts

- Positive factor: Extension of mineralization along strike

- Positive factor: Confirmation of multiple stacked structures

- Positive factor: Strong QA/QC disclosure

- Negative factor: True width of intercepts is unknown

- Negative factor: Presence of deleterious elements \(arsenic, antimony\)

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

Facts used in scoring: 19

## Classification and evidence

**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 drilled/apparent widths and true thickness is currently unknown.

Evidence · text

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

**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 mentions that the technical information was reviewed and approved by a QP, and details the analytical work performed by ALS Laboratories, including the use of blanks and certified assay 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 \(10%\).

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The drilling in hole DF26-028 tested southeastward into previously untested ground and extended the known mineralization southward.

Evidence · text

> DF26-028 tested southeastward along the interpreted mineralized structures into previously untested ground with limited surface gold expression. ... This high-grade interval in the southernmost hole drilled at Dragonfly to date extends the known mineralization southward

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: The intercept of 15.24m at 5.33 g/t Au in DF26-028 exceeds the exceptional threshold of 5 g/t Au for open pit gold.

Evidence · table

> 5.33

Context: 15.24

**Deleterious Elements Present**

Polarity: negative

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

Why it applies: The high-grade core in DF26-028 is described as an 'arsenic-antimony barium-rich interval'.

Evidence · text

> arsenic-antimony barium-rich interval

#### Tags used in scoring

**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: qaqc\_disclosed is true

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results.

Why it applies: proximity is offered as the value premise: "Results from these four holes drilled off the third pad of the 2026 program confirm the presence of multiple stacked str"

## 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.
