# Metalsource Mining Intersects High Grade Silver Hill Mineralization to 335 Metres Below Surface with 55 Metre Down Plunge Step Outs Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/metalsource-mining-intersects-high-grade-silver-hill-mineralization-to-335-metre--641953fc-13a3-41e7-a33e-5744c906bcbe Original source: https://investingnews.com/metalsource-mining-intersects-high-grade-silver-hill-mineralization-to-335-metres-below-surface-with-55-metre-down-plunge-step-outs/ Publisher: investingnews Original announcement: 2026-08-18T11:30:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Metalsource Mining Inc. - Ticker: MSM - Exchange: CSE - Region: North Carolina - Primary commodity: Silver - Secondary commodities: Gold, Lead, Zinc, Copper - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-08-24 04:39:51 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.50 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Metalsource Mining announced high-grade polymetallic drill results from step-out drilling at its Silver Hill project, extending mineralization to 335 metres below surface. Holes SH26-20 and SH26-21 returned significant silver equivalent intercepts, including 2.26 metres grading 913 g/t AgEq and 2.44 metres grading 515 g/t AgEq. This drilling confirms the continuity of the high-grade system at depth and along strike, with the company planning to aggressively expand the mineralized footprint and test new targets. Reasoning: The drill results from SH26-20 and SH26-21 returned strong polymetallic intercepts, extending mineralization at depth and along plunge, with wider sections noted. The program is actively expanding the known mineralized footprint and testing new targets. However, the reported widths are core length only, the metal equivalent calculations rely on very old metallurgical test data, and the grades are lower than the average of prior best intercepts. - Positive factor: step\_out\_extension - Positive factor: mineralization\_open\_at\_depth - Positive factor: polymetallic\_system - Positive factor: qaqc\_disclosed - Positive factor: wider\_intercepts - Negative factor: apparent\_width\_only - Negative factor: metal\_equivalent\_assumptions\_stale - Negative factor: grades\_lower\_than\_prior\_best\_averages Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source. Facts used in scoring: 60 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The document explicitly states '55 Metre Down Plunge Step Outs' and 'step out drilling continues to improve management's understanding'. Evidence · text > 55 Metre Down Plunge Step Outs **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 protocols including certified reference material, blanks, duplicates, chain of custody, and mentions ALS Geochemistry as the analytical laboratory. Evidence · text > Metalsource QA/QC protocols are maintained through the insertion of certified reference material \(standards\), blanks, and duplicates within the sample stream. The drill core is cut in half with a diamond saw, with one half placed in sealed bags and shipped to the laboratory and the other half retained on site. Chain of custody is maintained from the drill to the submittal into the laboratory preparation facility. Analytical testing is performed by ALS Geochemistry \(Reno, NV\) and ALS Canada \(Vancouver, BC\). **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: The document states that 'All scientific and technical information has been reviewed and approved by Darcy Vis, B.Sc., P.Geo., President of Tripoint Geological Services Ltd., a contractor of the Company, and a Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument \("NI"\) 43-101'. Evidence · text > All scientific and technical information has been reviewed and approved by Darcy Vis, B.Sc., P.Geo., President of Tripoint Geological Services Ltd., a contractor of the Company, and a Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument \("NI"\) 43-101 **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 document explicitly states that 'Widths reported are core length, as additional data is needed to estimate the true width of intercepts at this stage of the project'. Evidence · text > Widths reported are core length, as additional data is needed to estimate the true width of intercepts at this stage of the project. **Stale Metal Equivalent Assumptions** Polarity: negative Story-specific tag Definition: No canonical definition is currently available. Why it applies: The metal equivalent calculations rely on recovery values derived from batch metallurgical testing completed in 1988, which is very old data. Evidence · text > Metal recoveries used in the AgEq calculation are Au: 95.5%, Ag: 92.9%, Pb: 89.2%, Zn: 93.8% and Cu 90.8%. These recovery values are derived from batch metallurgical testing used to estimate recoveries of Silver Hill ores, completed in 1988. **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: The intercept of 2.26 metres grading 913 g/t AgEq and 2.44 metres grading 515 g/t AgEq are above the exceptional threshold for silver equivalent grades.

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.
