## Minestarters Atlas summary

Lahontan Gold reported significant gold mineralization at the Calvada Central area of the Santa Fe Mine project, including a 10.7m high-grade interval of 2.18 g/t Au Eq. The results were obtained from both diamond and reverse-circulation drilling programs designed to support permitting and constrain mineralization.

Reasoning: The release reports significant gold intercepts, including a high-grade 10.7m interval, from a hole originally intended for geotechnical purposes, which reinforces the resource potential.

- Positive factor: high-grade intercept in geotechnical hole

- Positive factor: QA/QC protocols clearly disclosed

- Positive factor: continuity of mineralization noted

- Negative factor: intercepts are Au Eq \(gold equivalent\) rather than pure gold

Facts used in scoring: 5

## 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 includes detailed QA/QC protocols, including blanks, CRMs, and duplicate sampling, with analysis by American Assay Laboratories.

Evidence · text

> Lahontan conducts an industry standard QA/QC program for its core and RC drilling programs.

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: The 3.25 g/t Au interval is high grade, though narrow.

Evidence · text

> High grade gold mineralization grading 3.25 g/t Au \(116.7 – 118.1m\)

## 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.
