## Minestarters Atlas summary

Koonenberry Gold Limited has expanded its drilling program at the Wilga Flats Project to test a compelling blind porphyry copper-gold target at depth, following encouraging geological observations and geophysical data. Initial drilling identified hydrothermal alteration and porphyry-style veinlets, consistent with Au-Cu systems in the region. Assay results for the first three holes are pending and expected in late Q4 2026.

Reasoning: Koonenberry Gold has expanded its drilling program at Wilga Flats based on encouraging geological observations and geophysical data, targeting porphyry-style copper-gold mineralization, but assay results are still pending for the current program.

Evidence · text

> 32m @ 0.10g/t Au including 1m @ 0.76g/t Au from 65m \(ODH1\)4

#### 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

#### Rejected tags

**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 is explicitly stated as historical drilling from a prior release.

Evidence · text

> 32m @ 0.10g/t Au including 1m @ 0.76g/t Au from 65m \(ODH1\)4

**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: No estimate of true width is provided for this historical intercept.

Evidence · text

> No estimate of true width is provided given the limited historical drilling at Olaf’s with only downhole intervals reported.

## 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.
