# K2 Gold Drills 83.82m of 3.40 g/t Au including 19.81m of 7.51 g/t Au at Dragonfly Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/k2-gold-drills-83-82m-of-3-40-g-t-au-including-19-81m-of-7-51-g-t-au-at-dragonfl--cc1ebf74-6371-4d53-a0f7-6e8f51c3853f Original source: https://www.juniorminingnetwork.com/junior-miner-news/press-releases/654-tsx-venture/kto/213197-k2-drills-83-82m-of-3-40-g-t-au-including-19-81m-of-7-51-g-t-au-at-dragonfly.html Publisher: jmn Original announcement: 2026-10-20T23:31:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-10-20T12:28:42.939Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-10-20T12:28:42.939Z - Company: K2 Gold Corporation - Ticker: KTO - Exchange: TSXV - Region: Unavailable - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-10-20 12:28:43 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary K2 Gold announced significant drill results from the final four holes of its first phase of drilling at the Dragonfly Zone within its Mojave Project. Highlights include 83.82m of 3.40 g/t Au and 28.95m of 3.11 g/t Au, with several high-grade sub-intervals. These results extend gold mineralization to the north and confirm historical findings, with further assays pending from other targets. Reasoning: K2 Gold reported wide, high-grade gold intercepts from the Dragonfly Zone, including 83.82m of 3.40 g/t Au and 28.95m of 3.11 g/t Au, which extend mineralization to the north and validate historical results. The program benefits from disclosed QA/QC procedures and QP sign-off, though true widths remain unknown. - Positive factor: wide\_intercept - Positive factor: high\_grade - Positive factor: step\_out\_extension - Positive factor: qaqc\_disclosed - Positive factor: qp\_signed - Positive factor: lab\_certified - Negative factor: apparent\_width\_only Facts used in scoring: 21 ## Classification and evidence No classification tags are available. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 21.

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.
