## Minestarters Atlas summary

Kalgoorlie Gold Mining has fast-tracked two drilling programs at the Pinjin Gold Project. RC drilling has commenced at the Lighthorse prospect to test depth continuity, while aircore drilling is scheduled to begin at the Rebecca Sequence target area.

Reasoning: The announcement details the commencement of new drilling programs \(RC and aircore\) to test known high-grade mineralisation and new targets, rather than reporting new assay results.

- Positive factor: fast-tracking two drill programs

- Positive factor: RC drilling commenced at Lighthorse

- Positive factor: upcoming aircore drilling at Rebecca Sequence

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

Story-specific tag

Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery.

Why it applies: The RC program at Lighthorse aims to test directly beneath recent high-grade mineralisation for continuity.

Evidence · text

> Testing directly beneath recent high-grade mineralisation for continuity along strike and to depth

#### Tags used in scoring

**No QA/QC Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document.

Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is not 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

**Stale Data Re-release**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Historical results re-announced with no new assays or reinterpretation — low genuine novelty.

Why it applies: the fact restates a prior release

**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: "Current focus includes: • The Pinjin Project within the 30 Moz Laverton Tectonic Zone \(host to Sunrise Dam, Granny Smith"

## 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.
