## Minestarters Atlas summary

Lahontan Gold has completed a Sonic drilling program at the Santa Fe Mine stockpile, reporting intercepts such as 10.7m at 1.81 g/t Au and 64.8 g/t Ag. The results confirm mineralization grades are higher than anticipated, supporting the potential for low-cost heap leach reprocessing.

Reasoning: Drilling confirms gold and silver mineralization in a historic stockpile at grades higher than the 'low-grade' classification suggested, providing a low-cost reprocessing opportunity.

- Positive factor: higher than anticipated grades

- Positive factor: readily accessible stockpile

- Positive factor: amenable to heap leach

- Negative factor: some results previously reported

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**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: Release details specific QA/QC protocols including blanks, CRMs, and laboratory \(AAL\) details.

Evidence · text

> Lahontan conducts an industry standard QA/QC program

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: The program is evaluating historic stockpiles and pads to define resources for reprocessing.

Evidence · text

> evaluating historic heap leach pads and stockpiles to define gold and silver resources

## 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.
