# Mammoth reveals parallel high-grade gold zone at Buster Trend in Nevada Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/mammoth-reveals-parallel-high-grade-gold-zone-at-buster-trend-in-nevada--f8ec9a07-7eec-488e-b490-51638f54e38e Original source: https://stockhead.com.au/resources/mammoth-reveals-parallel-high-grade-gold-zone-at-buster-trend-in-nevada/ Publisher: stockhead Original announcement: 2026-08-31T02:46:45.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Mammoth Minerals - Ticker: M79 - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: Nevada - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver, Lead, Zinc, Antimony - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-08-31 03:04:14 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Mammoth Minerals has discovered a new high-grade gold zone at the Lunchbox Ridge area of the Excelsior Springs project in Nevada, parallel to the main Buster Gold Mine. Recent RC drilling returned 10.67m at 3.76g/t Au, while surface sampling at the Blue Dick prospect has yielded bonanza silver and gold grades. Reasoning: Discovery of a new parallel high-grade gold trend at Lunchbox Ridge via step-out drilling, alongside exceptional surface sampling results at Blue Dick. - Positive factor: Step-out drilling discovered a new parallel high-grade gold zone - Positive factor: Bonanza silver grades from surface sampling - Positive factor: Mineralisation remains open along strike and down-dip Facts used in scoring: 18 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Drilling at Lunchbox Ridge expanded known mineralisation along a parallel structure. Evidence · text > This expands known mineralisation along a parallel structure **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: Surface sampling returned exceptional silver grades of up to 3877g/t Ag. Evidence · text > returning exceptional results such as 3877g/t Ag **Deleterious Elements Present** Polarity: negative Definition: Penalty elements \(arsenic, antimony, etc.\) or refractory concerns noted in the release. Why it applies: Antimony \(0.65%\) was reported in surface samples. Evidence · text > 0.65% antimony ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 18.
