## Minestarters Atlas summary

Kodiak Copper announced initial drill results from its 2026 program at the Ketchan deposit within its MPD copper-gold porphyry project in British Columbia. Hole AG-26-019 returned the best intersection ever reported at Ketchan, with 0.70% CuEq over 283.5 metres, including 1.02% CuEq over 108 metres. These results confirm high-grade mineralization and are expected to contribute to resource growth and an updated Mineral Resource Estimate planned for Q1 2027.

Reasoning: Kodiak Copper reported excellent initial drill results from its first program at the Ketchan deposit, highlighted by a near-surface, high-grade copper-gold intercept in hole AG-26-019, which is the best ever at the deposit. The program aims to expand and upgrade the existing resource, with strong QA/QC supporting the data.

- Positive factor: Exceptional high-grade copper-gold intercept in AG-26-019, the best ever reported at Ketchan.

- Positive factor: Significant widths of mineralization encountered near surface.

- Positive factor: Results confirm and expand high-grade mineralization, contributing to resource growth.

- Positive factor: Comprehensive QA/QC procedures disclosed, including certified lab and QP sign-off.

- Negative factor: True width of mineralization is not yet determined, so reported intervals are downhole lengths.

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

Facts used in scoring: 32

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: Hole AG-26-019 intersected 1.02% CuEq over 108 metres, which is an exceptionally high-grade zone for a porphyry deposit and is described as the 'best intersection ever reported at Ketchan'.

**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 QA/QC procedures including the use of accredited laboratory Activation Laboratories Ltd. \(Actlabs\), which meets ISO/IEC 17025:2015 and ISO 9001:2015 standards, and internal QA/QC with blanks, duplicates, and certified reference materials. A Qualified Person \(Dave Skelton, P.Geo.\) has also approved the technical information.

Kodiak implements an internal QA/QC program that includes the insertion of sample blanks, duplicates, and certified reference materials... Dave Skelton, P.Geo., Vice President Exploration and a Qualified Person... has approved and verified the technical information

**Apparent Width Only**

Polarity: negative

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

Why it applies: The document explicitly states that 'Drilling data to date is insufficient to determine true width of mineralization', indicating that all reported intervals are downhole drilled core intervals.

Evidence · text

> Intervals are downhole drilled core intervals. Drilling data to date is insufficient to determine true width of mineralization.

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: The release states that holes AG-26-005, AG-26-006, AG-26-009 and AG-26-019 were drilled as 'infill holes within the main body of the Ketchan deposit where tighter drill spacing was required'.

Evidence · text

> Holes AG-26-005, AG-26-006, AG-26-009 and AG-26-019 were drilled as infill holes within the main body of the Ketchan deposit where tighter drill spacing was required

**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 \("CIP"\)

## 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.
