While visual mineralization is promising, formal assay results are still pending to determine actual grades and widths. Reasoning: The company confirmed the presence of a key structural target \(Hyena Hills dome\) and visual copper sulphides in 8 of 14 holes, but lacks formal assay grades to confirm economic potential. - Positive factor: visual copper sulphides observed in majority of holes - Positive factor: confirmation of domal structure - Positive factor: proximity to major Khoemacau mine - Negative factor: assay results pending - Negative factor: visual observations are preliminary - Negative factor: wide drill spacing Facts used in scoring: 14 ## Classification and evidence **Copper** Story-specific tag Definition: No canonical definition is currently available. **Botswana** Story-specific tag Definition: No canonical definition is currently available. **Discovery** Story-specific tag Definition: No canonical definition is currently available. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 14. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (14) ### CEN\_DD\_001 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/leviathan-metals-provides-update-on-its-diamond-drilling-program-at-the-central--2053e43f-8dd4-4d12-8a09-ecae9e77b720#fact-drill-facts-0) Central Project · copper #### Identity - Hole ID: CEN\_DD\_001 - Project: Central Project - Commodity: copper - Region: botswana - Reported Region: Botswana - Ticker: LVX #### Geometry - Hole Depth: 100 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: CEN\_DD\_001:0-0 - Mining Method: unknown #### Location - Easting: 755134 - Northing: 7703194 - CRS: WGS 84 UTM - zone 34S - Elevation: 998 m - Azimuth: 276 ° - Dip: -60 ° - Loc.

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.
