## Minestarters Atlas summary

Kalgoorlie Gold Mining reported widespread gold anomalism from its first aircore drill program at the LTZ Flexure target, identifying multiple coherent gold anomalies over significant strike lengths up to 2 km. These anomalies align with structural and geophysical features, validating the geological model and defining priority areas for deeper follow-up RC drilling. While individual intercepts are low grade and short, the program successfully generated numerous targets for potential primary gold mineralisation at depth in a previously untested area.

Reasoning: The first-pass aircore drilling successfully identified widespread, coherent gold anomalism in regolith over significant strike lengths, validating the geological model and defining clear targets for deeper follow-up drilling in a previously untested area, despite the low individual grades.

- Positive factor: First-pass drilling in a previously untested area

- Positive factor: Identification of multiple coherent gold anomalies over significant strike lengths \(up to 2 km\)

- Positive factor: Anomalism aligns with structural and geophysical features, validating the geological model

- Positive factor: Defines clear targets for deeper follow-up drilling

- Positive factor: QA/QC procedures are disclosed and appear robust

- Negative factor: Individual assay results are low grade and short, consistent with shallow aircore

- Negative factor: Only downhole lengths are reported, true widths are not known

- Negative factor: The results are from regolith, not primary mineralization

- Negative factor: The drilling is widely spaced \(320-400m x 80m\)

Facts used in scoring: 3

## Classification and evidence

**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 details industry-standard sampling, lab procedures, and the use of standards, blanks, and duplicates.

Evidence · text

> Industry standard practice was used in the processing of aircore samples from the drill rig for assay. ... All samples were submitted to Kalgoorlie Bureau Veritas \(BV\) laboratories ... KAL also inserted QAQC samples into the sample stream at a 1 in 10 frequency, alternating between duplicate, blanks \(industrial sands\) and OREAS certified standard reference materials.

**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 all reported intercept widths are downhole lengths and no true widths have been reported.

Evidence · text

> All intercept widths reported are down hole lengths. No attempt has been made here to report true widths.

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The drilling represents the first-pass test of a previously untested regional-scale target area.

Evidence · text

> first aircore drill program over the regional-scale Laverton Tectonic Zone \(LTZ\) Flexure target.

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: The company highlights the proximity of its Rebecca Sequence target to Ramelius Resources' Rebecca Gold Project along strike.

Evidence · text

> The Rebecca Sequence hosts gold mineralisation at Ramelius Resources’ \(ASX: RMS\) Rebecca Gold Project along strike to the south.

## 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.
