## Minestarters Atlas summary

Melkior Resources announced preliminary results from a surface sampling program at its Carscallen Gold Project in Ontario, confirming widespread high-grade gold mineralization. Assays from 133 samples returned values up to 661 g/t Au, with 40 samples exceeding 1 g/t Au and 23 over 10 g/t Au across the 1010 North, 1010 South, and ZamZam Zones. These results will be integrated with pending drill data to refine geological models and prioritize future drill targets.

Reasoning: The surface sampling program returned exceptionally high-grade gold assays, confirming widespread mineralization and providing strong targets for follow-up, supported by robust QA/QC. However, the results are from selective grab samples and are not representative of the overall deposit grade or continuity.

- Positive factor: exceptionally high grades

- Positive factor: widespread mineralization

- Positive factor: strong structural controls identified

- Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed

- Positive factor: QP signed

- Negative factor: selective grab samples not representative

- Negative factor: assays pending for drill holes and remaining surface samples

Facts used in scoring: 23

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

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

Why it applies: Multiple surface samples returned exceptionally high gold grades, including 661.0 g/t Au, 268.0 g/t Au, 261.0 g/t Au, 248.0 g/t Au, 148.0 g/t Au, and 142.0 g/t Au, which are well above the exceptional threshold for gold.

Evidence · text

> Assays returning up to 661.0 g/t Au. Of the samples reported, 40 returned greater than 1.0 g/t Au, including 23 samples grading over 10.0 g/t Au from the 1010 North, 1010 South, and ZamZam Zones.

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: The release explicitly states that a quality assurance and quality control \(QA/QC\) program was implemented, including certified reference materials, blank samples, and duplicate samples, and that samples were delivered under chain-of-custody protocols to an independent accredited laboratory \(AGAT Laboratories Ltd.\).

Evidence · text

> The Company implemented a quality assurance and quality control \("QA/QC"\) program that included the systematic insertion of certified reference materials, blank samples and duplicate samples into the sample stream. QA/QC samples were monitored by the Company's technical staff to evaluate analytical accuracy, contamination and precision.

**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 results are from surface grab samples, which do not have associated width measurements.

Evidence · text

> Grab samples are selective by nature and may not be representative of the average grade, width or continuity of mineralization on the property.

**Multi-Domain Tested**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Variability across ore domains \(oxide, transition, fresh\) has been addressed.

Why it applies: 7 distinct composites were tested

## 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.
