## Minestarters Atlas summary

Kirkland Lake Discoveries reported high-grade gold drill results from its Mirado Fault Zone, including 25.85 g/t Au over 3.00 m within a 7.24 g/t Au over 11.10 m interval in hole KLM26-030. This hole extended the North Zone mineralization by 125 m and confirmed the presence of deep, high-grade orogenic gold feeder structures, significantly enhancing the project's scale and potential. The company also noted 21 additional drill holes with pending assay results from the ongoing summer 2026 drill program.

Reasoning: Drill hole KLM26-030 returned a high-grade intercept of 25.85 g/t Au over 3.00 m within a broader zone of 7.24 g/t Au over 11.10 m, extending the North Zone mineralization by 125 m and confirming the presence of deep, high-grade orogenic gold feeder structures. This significantly exceeds the project's average grade and the 75th percentile for orogenic gold deposits.

- Positive factor: High-grade intercept

- Positive factor: Extension of mineralization

- Positive factor: Confirmation of structural model

- Positive factor: Potential for deep feeder zones

- Positive factor: QP sign-off

- Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed

- Positive factor: True width estimated

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

Facts used in scoring: 18

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: The intercept of 25.85 g/t Au over 3.00 m is exceptionally high-grade, well above the deposit-type norm for orogenic gold \(75th percentile is 5.3 g/t Au\).

Evidence · text

> 25.85 g/t Au over 3.00 m

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: The intercept of 36.72 g/t Au over 1.01 m is exceptionally high-grade, well above the deposit-type norm for orogenic gold \(75th percentile is 5.3 g/t Au\).

Evidence · text

> 36.72 g/t Au over 1.01 m

**True Width Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length.

Why it applies: The document states that 'True widths at Mirado are estimated at approximately 80% of reported core lengths', providing an estimate for true width.

Evidence · text

> True widths at Mirado are estimated at approximately 80% of reported core lengths.

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Hole KLM26-030 'extended the stacked, steeply dipping gold mineralization of the North Zone an additional 125 m', indicating an extension beyond previously known limits.

Evidence · text

> KLM26-030 is the northernmost drill hole to date and has extended the stacked, steeply dipping gold mineralization of the North Zone an additional 125 m

**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 dedicated 'Data Verification & Quality Assurance/Quality Control \(QA/QC\)' section detailing laboratory, methods \(standards, blanks, screen fire assay\), and QP sign-off.

Evidence · text

> Data Verification & Quality Assurance/Quality Control \(QA/QC\)

**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: Benjamin Cleland, P.Geo., Vice-President, Exploration, is named as a Qualified Person who reviewed and approved the technical information.

Evidence · text

> Benjamin Cleland, P.Geo., Vice-President, Exploration, who is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101

**Compositing Transparent**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Cut-off grade and internal dilution rules are clearly stated for reported intervals.

Why it applies: The release clearly states the cut-off grade of 0.2 g/t Au and internal dilution rules of up to 6.9 m for reported intervals.

Evidence · text

> Reported intervals are calculated using length-weighted average grades with a nominal 0.2 g/t Au cutoff. To reflect continuity within the broader mineralized system, up to 6.9 m of consecutive internal dilution below cutoff is included within selected composites.

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery.

Why it applies: The drilling program is described as testing 'the continuity of the Mirado Fault' and extending known mineralization, which aligns with infill and extension drilling objectives.

Evidence · text

> Drill hole KLM26-030 was primarily designed to test the continuity of the Mirado Fault.

**Nearology Play**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results.

Why it applies: The company frequently references the Kirkland Lake gold camp's historical production and active mines \(Macassa\) to contextualize the potential of the KL South Project.

Evidence · text

> The Kirkland Lake camp has historically produced over 47 million ounces of gold, largely from deep, steeply dipping vein systems. Discovering these deep high-grade structures beneath our near-surface mineralized footprint proves that Mirado has the structural plumbing required to host a significant deposit and we're just scratching the surface.

**Mill Route**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\).

Why it applies: the document describes a mill\_cil route \("CIP"\)

#### 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

**Compositing Transparent**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Cut-off grade and internal dilution rules are clearly stated for reported intervals.

Why it applies: cutoff\_grade and internal dilution are both stated

**Stale Data Re-release**

Polarity: negative

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

Why it applies: the fact restates a prior release

**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: "\*\*Highlights\*\* - KLM26-030 hit a silica-flooded zone grading \*\*7.24 g/t Au over 11.10 m\*\*from 353.00 m including \*\*25.8"

## 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.
