# LNQ: Significant New Mineralisation at the Gilmore Project Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/lnq-significant-new-mineralisation-at-the-gilmore-project--c4f7a3ae-4dfb-43db-9e29-4fb8ae11c8d9 Original source: https://www.asx.com.au/asx/v2/statistics/displayAnnouncement.do?display=pdf&idsId=03154710 Publisher: asx Original announcement: 2026-10-20T05:52:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-10-20T07:06:04.986Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-10-20T07:06:04.986Z - Company: LinQ Minerals Limited - Ticker: LNQ - Exchange: ASX - Region: New South Wales - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Copper, Silver - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-10-20 07:06:05 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary LinQ Minerals has reported a significant visual discovery of high sulphidation epithermal and porphyry mineralisation at the Gidginbung South target. The first drill hole \(GBRCD021\) intersected a 429m mineralised zone, extending the known system 800m south of the Gidginbung deposit. Reasoning: The announcement reports a significant visual discovery of a large HSE-porphyry system in a new target zone \(Gidginbung South\), though economic significance is pending assay results. - Positive factor: Discovery of a potentially large high sulphidation epithermal and porphyry system - Positive factor: Significant mineralisation width of 429m - Positive factor: Discovery extends 800m south of previously known southern limit - Positive factor: System is completely open in all directions - Positive factor: Strong to intense pyrite observed throughout - Negative factor: No laboratory assays reported yet \(visual assessment only\) - Negative factor: True width not yet determined Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source. Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **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 mineralisation is described via visual assessment of core without reported true widths or drill orientation for the specific intercepts. Evidence · text > All widths reported are downhole intervals. The Dam true widths are considered to be approximately 85% of down hole intervals. For drilling south of the Gidginbung pit, true widths are currently unknown. **No QA/QC Disclosure** Polarity: negative Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document. Why it applies: While the JORC table describes general QA/QC protocols, specific assay results for this hole have not been released, making the quality of the actual data unverifiable. Evidence · text > Laboratory assays will determine the economic significance of GBRCD021. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4.

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.
