## Minestarters Atlas summary

Riley Gold has completed an expanded soil geochemistry survey at the PWC Project in Nevada, identifying an additional 2km of gold-in-soil anomaly. The results, which include coincident arsenic and mercury pathfinders, suggest a Carlin-type system and support upcoming 2026 exploration drilling.

Reasoning: The survey successfully extended the known gold-in-soil anomaly by 2km, bringing the total strike length to ~6km, with pathfinder elements \(As, Hg\) supporting a Carlin-type model.

- Positive factor: strike\_length\_extension

- Positive factor: pathfinder\_coincidence

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The survey identified an additional 2km strike length of anomalous gold, extending the existing anomaly.

Evidence · text

> successfully identified an additional 2 kilometers \("km"\) strike length of anomalous gold in soil

**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 the use of ALS Geochemistry, specific assay methods \(Au-ICP21, ME-MS41L\), and the inclusion of CRM standards, duplicates, and blanks.

Evidence · text

> Kinross QAQC program includes regular insertion of CRM standards, duplicates, and blanks

## 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.
