## Minestarters Atlas summary

Kingfisher Metals has completed its 2026 diamond drill program at the HWY 37 Project in British Columbia, drilling 13,551 metres across 24 new holes and one extension. While assay results are pending for most holes, visual observations from the Hank porphyry target indicate broad zones of porphyry veins and stockwork. The company also re-highlighted a previously reported high-grade polymetallic intercept from hole HW-26-015 and is planning a larger 20,000-metre drill program for 2027.

Reasoning: The company completed a significant drill program with encouraging visual observations from porphyry targets, but the lack of new assay results for most holes limits immediate impact. A previously reported high-grade polymetallic intercept is highlighted, and a larger 2027 drill program is planned, indicating future activity.

- Positive factor: Large drill program completed \(13,551m\)

- Positive factor: Encouraging visual observations from porphyry targets \(high vein abundance, chalcopyrite, bornite\)

- Positive factor: Planning a larger 20,000m drill program for 2027

- Positive factor: Detailed QA/QC procedures disclosed with accredited labs

- Positive factor: Re-reported high-grade polymetallic intercept in HW-26-015

- Negative factor: Assay results are pending for almost all new holes

- Negative factor: Visual observations are preliminary and not a substitute for assays

- Negative factor: True widths are not determined for reported intervals

- Negative factor: Metal equivalent assumptions for HW-26-015 are not supported by metallurgical testing

- Negative factor: Historical results \(DDH87-8\) are not verified by the QP

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

Reasoning: This previously reported intercept shows bonanza gold grades over a moderate width, contributing significantly to the project's overall potential, though its novelty is low.

- Positive factor: Bonanza grade \(20.33 g/t Au is exceptional for epithermal gold\)

- Positive factor: High grade-thickness product \(178.9 g/t Au \* m\)

- Negative factor: Stale data re-release \(previously reported\)

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

**Nearology Play**

Why it applies: proximity is offered as the value premise: "Facebook-f Twitter Instagram Latest News Kingfisher Reports 8.8 m of 38.50 g/t AuEq Within 27 m of 13.61 g/t AuEq at HWY"

#### Rejected tags

**Bonanza Intercept** — Rejected; excluded from scoring

Polarity: positive

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

Reason: The gold grade of 20.33 g/t is well above the exceptional threshold for epithermal gold \(5 g/t\).

Evidence · table

**Metal Equivalent Opaque** — Rejected; excluded from scoring

Polarity: negative

Definition: Metal equivalent grade reported without disclosing the price, recovery, or payability assumptions used.

Reason: The metal equivalent grade is reported without disclosing the price, recovery, or payability assumptions used, and explicitly states recoveries are not supported by metallurgical testing.

Evidence · text

> Assumptions used in USD for the metal equivalent calculation were metal prices of $5.50/lb copper, $4,000/oz gold, $55/oz silver and $1.3/lb zinc. No metallurgical work has been completed; recoveries are assumed to be 80% for each of copper, gold, silver and zinc. The following equation was used to calculate the gold equivalence: AuEq = gold \(g/t\) + \(copper \(%\) x 0.9428\) + \(silver \(g/t\) x 0.01375\) + \(zinc \(%\) x 0.2228\). Lead is not included in the equivalence calculations. Differences may occur due to rounding. Gold equivalent values are provided for comparison purposes only and are not a statement of recoverable metal. The assumed recoveries are not supported by any metallurgical testing on the HWY 37 Project, and actual recoveries may differ materially from those assumed.

**Apparent Width Only** — Rejected; excluded from scoring

Polarity: negative

Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness.

Reason: The interval is given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation, and the document explicitly states true widths cannot be determined.

Evidence · text

> All drill intervals reported in this news release are downhole lengths. True widths of the reported mineralized intervals have not been determined.

**Stale Data Re-release** — Rejected; excluded from scoring

Polarity: negative

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

Reason: This intercept was explicitly stated as 'previously reported' in the September 21, 2026 news release.

Reasoning: Encouraging visual observations of a broad porphyry-style stockwork with chalcopyrite, pyrite, and bornite suggest potential for significant mineralization, pending assay results.

- Positive factor: Broad zone of porphyry-style mineralization \(328 m\)

- Positive factor: Visual indications of chalcopyrite, pyrite, and trace bornite

- Negative factor: Visual observations are preliminary and not a substitute for assays

- Negative factor: Assay results are pending

- Negative factor: True widths are not determined

Evidence · text

> HW-26-031 \(1,106 m\): porphyry-style quartz-chalcopyrite-pyrite veins from approximately 778 m to the end of hole, a downhole length of approximately 328 m, with trace bornite observed in veins

#### 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: "Facebook-f Twitter Instagram Latest News Kingfisher Reports 8.8 m of 38.50 g/t AuEq Within 27 m of 13.61 g/t AuEq at HWY"

#### Rejected tags

**Apparent Width Only** — Rejected; excluded from scoring

Polarity: negative

Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness.

Reason: The interval is given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation, and the document explicitly states true widths cannot be determined.

Evidence · text

> All drill intervals reported in this news release are downhole lengths. True widths of the reported mineralized intervals have not been determined.

Reasoning: Visual observations of porphyry alteration and copper mineralization are encouraging, suggesting the presence of a mineralized system, but definitive results await assays.

- Positive factor: Visual indications of porphyry alteration \(potassic, chlorite-magnetite\)

- Positive factor: Presence of disseminated chalcopyrite and trace bornite

- Negative factor: Visual observations are preliminary and not a substitute for assays

- Negative factor: Assay results are pending

- Negative factor: True widths are not determined

## 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.
