## Minestarters Atlas summary

Meridian Mining announced the discovery of new gold mineralization at its Álamo prospect, with drill hole CD-852 intersecting 3.5m at 2.4 g/t Au, 0.5% Cu, 9.5 g/t Ag, and 0.7% Zn from 108.9m. The company also reported further high-grade polymetallic results from an infill drilling program at Santa Helena Central, including 21.2m at 1.5 g/t Au, 1.2% Cu, 45.7 g/t Ag, and 6.0% Zn from 71.6m in CD-854. These results will be incorporated into a future resource upgrade for Santa Helena Central.

Reasoning: The announcement details a new gold discovery at Álamo with significant polymetallic grades, alongside robust high-grade infill results at Santa Helena Central that will contribute to a resource upgrade. The results are supported by strong QA/QC protocols.

- Positive factor: New gold discovery at Álamo

- Positive factor: High-grade polymetallic intercepts at Santa Helena Central

- Positive factor: Infill drilling confirms continuity and supports resource upgrade

- Positive factor: Comprehensive QA/QC disclosure and QP sign-off

- Negative factor: True width reported as a range \(85-95%\) rather than a precise value

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

Facts used in scoring: 114

## Classification and evidence

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: The release details QA/QC procedures including the use of ALS laboratory, submission of blanks, standards, and umpire laboratory analysis, and QP sign-off.

Evidence · text

> Drill core samples have been analysed at ALS laboratory in Lima, Peru. ... The Company submits a range of quality control samples, including blanks and gold and polymetallic standards supplied by Rocklabs, ITAK and OREAS, supplementing laboratory quality control procedures. ... Mr. Erich Marques, B.Sc., FAIG, Chief Geologist of Meridian Mining and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed, verified and approved the technical information in this news release.

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

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: Mr. Erich Marques, Chief Geologist of Meridian Mining and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, has reviewed, verified and approved the technical information.

Evidence · text

> Mr. Erich Marques, B.Sc., FAIG, Chief Geologist of Meridian Mining and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed, verified and approved the technical information in this news release.

**Deleterious Elements Present**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Penalty elements \(arsenic, antimony, etc.\) or refractory concerns noted in the release.

Why it applies: The Álamo discovery interval is accompanied by an elevated pathfinder signal including Bismuth \(Bi\) and Selenium \(Se\), which are present in assay results.

Evidence · text

> The interval occurs in a zone of Na-depletion characteristic of hydrothermal leaching and is accompanied by an elevated pathfinder signal \(Bi-Mo-Se-Cd\).

**True Width Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length.

Why it applies: The document states 'True width is considered to be 85-95% of intersection width', providing a range for true width.

Evidence · text

> True width is considered to be 85-95% of intersection width.

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The CD-852 hole at Álamo represents a new discovery and a newly defined mineralised position, open along strike, up-dip and down-dip.

Evidence · text

> Meridian’s exploration programme discovers new high-grade gold at Álamo: CD-852 returns 3.5m @ 2.4g/t Au... It represents a newly defined mineralised position, open along strike, up-dip and down-dip

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery.

Why it applies: The drilling at Santa Helena Central is explicitly described as a 'resource infill programme' targeting unmined zones of historical workings.

Evidence · text

> The Company also reports results from Santa Helena Central's resource infill programme \(Figure 1\).

## 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.
