## Minestarters Atlas summary

Karus Mining Inc. announced initial assay results from its 2026 diamond drilling program at the FG Gold Project in British Columbia, reporting high-grade gold intercepts. Highlights include 14.55 metres grading 4.80 g/t gold, with a high-grade inclusion of 1.00 metre at 32.40 g/t gold. These results validate the company's geological model and indicate potential for expanding the known mineralization, with further assays from the 11-hole program pending.

Reasoning: The initial drill results from the 2026 program are positive, featuring high-grade gold intercepts within broad mineralized zones that validate the geological model and indicate potential for expansion. While true widths are estimated and most results are pending, the disclosed QA/QC and QP sign-off provide high confidence in the reported assays.

- Positive factor: High-grade gold intercepts, including 32.40 g/t Au over 1.00 m, which is exceptional for orogenic gold deposits.

- Positive factor: Broad intervals of gold mineralization, such as 14.55 m at 4.80 g/t Au, demonstrating significant width.

- Positive factor: Results validate the geological model and reinforce potential for significant growth by extending the known mineralized footprint.

- Positive factor: QA/QC procedures are disclosed, including the use of an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory \(ALS Geochemistry\).

- Positive factor: A Qualified Person \(QP\) under NI 43-101 has reviewed and approved the technical information.

- Negative factor: True widths are estimated to be 70% - 90% of intercepted core width, not precisely stated.

- Negative factor: Only 2 of 11 holes from the 2026 program have been reported, with the majority of results still pending.

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 well above the exceptional threshold for orogenic gold deposits \(5 g/t Au\).

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 that 'True widths unknown but estimated to be 70% - 90% of intercepted core width', indicating that only downhole lengths are reported.

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 at FG Gold' and 'extending this corridor', indicating step-out drilling.

Evidence · text

> The Company inserted quality control samples at regular intervals within the sample stream which included blanks, preparation duplicates, field duplicates, and standard reference materials

**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, who is Karus Mining's qualified person under National Instrument 43-101.

Reasoning: This bonanza-grade gold intercept is a highly significant result, indicating very high-grade mineralization within the broader interval and strongly supporting the project's potential.

- Positive factor: Exceptional high-grade gold intercept \(32.40 g/t Au\) over 1.00 m, which is a bonanza grade for orogenic gold deposits.

- Positive factor: QA/QC procedures are disclosed and QP signed off.

- Negative factor: True width is estimated, not precisely stated.

## 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.
