Facts used in scoring: 9

## Classification and evidence

**Historical Estimate Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Estimate pre-dates or does not comply with current JORC/NI 43-101 standards — requires verification drilling.

Why it applies: The Roger project resource is explicitly stated as a historical estimate that the company is not treating as current.

Evidence · text

> The Company is treating the Historical Estimate as a "historical mineral resource"... and the reader is cautioned not to treat it... as a current mineral resource.

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: The historical estimate includes a significant inferred component.

Evidence · text

> an inferred resource of 6.569Mt at 0.75 g/t gold

## 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.
