## Minestarters Atlas summary

Karus Mining Inc. announced strong initial drill assay results from the first two holes of its 2026 exploration program at the FG Gold Project in British Columbia. Highlights include 14.55 metres grading 4.80 g/t gold, with a high-grade sub-interval of 1.00 metre at 32.40 g/t gold. These results validate the geological model for sediment-hosted vein mineralization and indicate potential for expanding the known mineralized footprint.

Reasoning: The initial drill results from the 2026 program at FG Gold delivered significant high-grade gold intercepts, confirming the geological model and indicating strong potential for resource expansion, despite true widths being estimated and only two holes reported.

Facts used in scoring: 14

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: The intercept of 32.40 g/t Au over 1.00 m in hole FG-26-412 is exceptionally high-grade for gold, exceeding the 15 g/t Au threshold for underground mining.

Evidence · table

> 32.40

Context: 1.00

**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 states 'True widths unknown but estimated to be 70% - 90% of intercepted core width', indicating that specific true widths for individual intercepts are not provided.

Evidence · text

> True widths unknown but estimated to be 70% - 90% of intercepted core width

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The 2026 exploration program is focused on 'expanding high-grade mineralization' and 'extending this corridor', which are objectives of step-out drilling.

Evidence · text

> Karus Mining's 2026 exploration program is focused on expanding high-grade mineralization at FG Gold, which hosts over 3 km of known mineralized strike and is part of a 25 km long structural trend which hosts several mineralized showings, much of which remains untested.

**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 detailed 'QA/QC and Qualified Person' section outlining sample handling, analytical methods, and quality control procedures including blanks, duplicates, and standards.

Evidence · text

> QA/QC and Qualified Person Once the drill core was received from the drill site, individual samples were determined, logged for geological attributes, sawn in half, labelled, and bagged for assay submittal. The remaining drill core was then stored at a secure site in Horsefly, BC. The Company inserted quality control samples at regular intervals within the sample stream which included blanks, preparation duplicates, field duplicates, and standard reference materials with all sample shipments intended to monitor laboratory performance.

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience.

Why it applies: Technical information has been reviewed and approved by Dave Swanton, MSc, PGeo, Principal Geologist, Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd, who is Karus Mining's qualified person under National Instrument 43-101.

#### 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: "Karus Hits 14.6 Metres of 4.8g/t Gold in First Two of 11 Holes Testing High-Grade Structural Controls at FG Gold Project"

## 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.
