## Minestarters Atlas summary

Latitude 66 Limited has commenced a 2,500m diamond drilling program at its KSB Gold-Cobalt Project in Finland, targeting large-scale resource growth opportunities near the K1 gold-cobalt deposit. The program aims to test high-priority targets supported by geological, structural, geophysical, and historical drilling data, with the potential to materially expand the existing 7.3Mt @ 2.7g/t Au and 0.08% Co Mineral Resource. This drilling is a key part of the company's broader strategy to grow its gold inventory and advance development opportunities alongside the KSB Prefeasibility Study.

Reasoning: A significant diamond drilling program has commenced at the KSB Gold-Cobalt Project, targeting substantial resource growth to support the ongoing PFS, but no new assay results are available in this release. The resource estimates presented are historical.

- Positive factor: Drilling program commenced

- Positive factor: High-priority targets identified with multiple supporting datasets

- Positive factor: Potential for material resource expansion

- Positive factor: Program linked to Prefeasibility Study \(PFS\)

- Positive factor: Competent Person's Statement for Exploration Results and Mineral Resources

- Negative factor: No new drill results reported in this announcement

- Negative factor: Resource estimates are historical \(from April 2024\)

Facts used in scoring: 17

## Classification and evidence

**Stale Estimate**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Effective date is &gt;2 years old — data currency concern, may not reflect current geological understanding.

Why it applies: The resource estimates are referenced from an ASX announcement dated April 26, 2024, making them over two years old relative to the current announcement date of October 14, 2026.

Evidence · text

> DCX ASX Announcement 26 Apr 2024

**JORC Compliant**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with JORC Code \(Australia\) — high reporting standard.

Why it applies: The resource estimates are presented under a 'JORC Mineral Resource Statement' and the Competent Person's Statement refers to the '2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves \(the “JORC Code”\).'

Evidence · text

> KSB Project - JORC Mineral Resource Statement

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

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: The announcement includes a Competent Person's Statement for both Mineral Resources \(Mr Brian Wolfe\) and Exploration Results \(Mr Toby Wellman\), indicating sign-off by qualified professionals.

Evidence · text

> Competent Person's Statement

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: Several resource categories are classified as 'Inferred', which is a speculative category with limited drilling and assumed geological continuity.

Evidence · table

> Inferred

Context: 1200

**Indicated Resource**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Reasonable geological confidence based on adequate drilling; continuity can be assumed. Basis for Probable Reserves.

Why it applies: A significant portion of the KSB and Laverton resources are classified as 'Indicated', indicating reasonable geological confidence based on adequate drilling.

Evidence · table

> Indicated

Context: 4600

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The drilling program is designed to 'test large-scale resource extension targets immediately proximal to the K1 gold-cobalt deposit' and 'beyond the existing K1 Resource envelope'.

Evidence · text

> Drilling will test large-scale resource extension targets immediately proximal to the K1 gold-cobalt deposit

**Apparent Width Only**

Polarity: negative

Story-specific tag

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

Why it applies: The historical drill results are reported as downhole lengths \(e.g., '5.6m @ 7.3g/t Au'\) without any mention of true width or drill orientation.

Evidence · text

> 5.6m @ 7.3g/t Au

## 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.
