## Minestarters Atlas summary

Metal Hawk Limited has completed RC drilling at the Thylacine south zone within its Leinster South Project, with assays for the new holes expected in approximately six weeks. The company reported high-grade gold from 1m resplit assays from hole 26LSRC075, including 4m @ 12.5g/t Au and 2m @ 23.0g/t Au, which represents a new style of shear-hosted mineralization. These results support the potential for a larger mineralized system, and diamond drilling is scheduled to commence in November to further understand the orientation and geometry of the high-grade shoots.

Reasoning: The announcement reports new high-grade gold intercepts from 1m resplit assays at the Leinster South project, including a bonanza grade of 23.0 g/t Au over 2m, which exceeds the project's prior best grade. The identification of a new style of shear-hosted mineralization suggests a potentially larger system, adding significant novelty and positive sentiment. While assays for the latest drilling are pending, the confirmed high-grade results and geological interpretation are highly material. The report includes robust QA/QC disclosure and is JORC compliant.

- Positive factor: High-grade gold intercepts, including 2m @ 23.0g/t Au, which is higher than the previous best grade for the project.

- Positive factor: New style of shear-hosted gold mineralization identified, suggesting potential for a larger mineralized system.

- Positive factor: RC drilling completed at Thylacine south zone, with assays pending for new holes.

- Positive factor: Comprehensive QA/QC disclosure, including certified lab and Competent Person sign-off.

- Positive factor: Drilling targeted along strike and down dip of discovery intercept, indicating successful extension.

- Negative factor: Assays for the recently completed RC drilling program are still pending, so the full picture is not yet available.

- Negative factor: Intercepts are reported as downhole widths, with true width not yet determined.

Facts used in scoring: 22

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: The intercept of 2m @ 22.99 g/t Au is well above the exceptional threshold of 15 g/t Au for orogenic underground deposits.

Evidence · text

> 2m @ 23.0g/t Au from 44m

**True Width Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: The document explicitly states that 'all mineralised intersections are reported as intercept length and may not reflect true width', indicating that true width is not known.

Evidence · text

> all mineralised intersections are reported as intercept length and may not reflect true width

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The RC program was designed to test along strike and down dip of the discovery intercept, indicating an effort to extend mineralization.

Evidence · text

> Drilling targeted along strike and down dip of the discovery intercept

**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 includes a detailed JORC Table 1 with information on sampling techniques, laboratory procedures, and quality control measures including standards and blanks.

Evidence · text

> Field QC procedures for this program comprised 13 certified reference standards and blanks inserted across the 245 samples

**Compositing Transparent**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Cut-off grade and internal dilution rules are clearly stated for reported intervals.

Why it applies: The document clearly states that a nominal cut-off of 0.5 g/t Au was applied and that grades are length-weighted and uncut, and that 1m resplits supersede composite results.

Evidence · text

> A nominal cut-off of 0.5 g/t Au was applied. Composite \(2-4m\) spear sample results are reported where 1m resplit assays are not yet available. Significant grade intervals are based on intercepts >0.5g/t gold for RC drilling. No metal equivalent values have been used or reported. Where an interval has been sampled both as a 2-4m composite and subsequently as 1m re-splits, the 1m results are used and the composite result is superseded. Composite and 1m results are not combined within a single reported interval.

**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 'all mineralised intersections are reported as intercept length and may not reflect true width'.

Evidence · text

> all mineralised intersections are reported as intercept length and may not reflect true width

**Stale Data Re-release**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Historical results re-announced with no new assays or reinterpretation — low genuine novelty.

Why it applies: Several intercepts from holes 26LSRC074, 26LSRC077, and 26LSRC079 are not bolded in Table 2 and are explicitly stated as 'unchanged from the Company's 25 August 2026 release', indicating they are historical results being re-presented.

Evidence · text

> Significant intersections reported here are unchanged from the Company's 25 August 2026 release

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: The drilling is described as 'first follow-up drilling at Numbat, testing the high-grade quartz lode and the shear zone', which implies infill or definition drilling around a known discovery.

Evidence · text

> We have now successfully completed the first follow-up drilling at Numbat, testing the high-grade quartz lode and the shear zone.

Reasoning: This new 1m resplit intercept shows high-grade gold mineralization, exceeding the exceptional threshold for open pit orogenic deposits, contributing to the overall prospectivity.

- Positive factor: High-grade gold intercept \(5.53 g/t Au is exceptional for orogenic open pit, strong for underground\).

- Positive factor: New 1m resplit assay results.

- Negative factor: True width not known.

## 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.
