## Minestarters Atlas summary

Mountain Province Diamonds has announced full drilling results from an exploration program in the Southwest Corridor area of its Gahcho Kué mine, identifying new diamondiferous kimberlite intercepts. The program, which included 18 holes, successfully extended kimberlite mineralization, with several holes showing significant widths. The company plans to use these results to estimate a resource for incorporation into the mine plan, although diamond grades are not yet available and some results are historical.

Reasoning: The announcement reports successful exploration drilling, identifying new kimberlite intercepts with good widths, which is positive for extending the mine life at Gahcho Kué. However, the lack of diamond grades, the inclusion of historical data, and some indeterminate true widths temper the overall positive sentiment and novelty.

- Positive factor: Successful identification of kimberlite in multiple new drill holes, extending known mineralization.

- Positive factor: Several intercepts show significant downhole and true widths, indicating potential for bulk tonnage.

- Positive factor: The drilling aims to incorporate new kimberlite into the existing mine plan, suggesting economic potential.

- Positive factor: QA/QC disclosure with a Qualified Person sign-off enhances credibility.

- Negative factor: No diamond grades are reported, limiting the immediate economic assessment of the intercepts.

- Negative factor: Some intercepts are historical data re-released, reducing novelty.

- Negative factor: True width is not determined for some long intercepts drilled on strike, making their significance harder to assess.

- Negative factor: One hole did not intercept kimberlite, indicating limits to the extension.

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

## 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 news release states that the scientific and technical information has been reviewed and approved by a Qualified Person \(P.Geo.\) as defined by NI 43-101.

Evidence · text

> The disclosure in this news release of scientific and technical information regarding Mountain Province's mineral properties has been reviewed and approved by Carl G. Verley , P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The drilling program is described as 'exploration program' aimed at 'test potential extensions' and 'define the internal geology' of kimberlite not included in current resource statements.

Evidence · text

> exploration program recently completed in the Southwest Corridor area of the Gahcho Kué mine site... goal of estimating a resource for the Southwest Corridor area for incorporation into the Gahcho Kué mine plan.

**Stale Data Re-release**

Polarity: negative

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

Why it applies: Several drill holes \(MPV-17-435C to MPV-17-440C\) are explicitly noted as 'Announced previously – see news release of January 17, 2018'.

Evidence · text

> Announced previously – see news release of January 17, 2018.

**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: For holes MPV-18-447C and MPV-18-450C, the true thickness is stated as 'n/a' with a footnote explaining they were 'drilled on strike and therefore cannot be used to determine true thickness'.

Evidence · text

> Holes MPV-18-447C and MPV-18-450C are drilled on strike and therefore cannot be used to determine true thickness.

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: No diamond grades are reported in the document, therefore no cut-off grade for reporting intercepts is disclosed.

Evidence · text

> A summary of the results from all completed holes is provided as follows:

Reasoning: This new intercept confirms kimberlite presence but its very narrow width and lack of diamond grades make it of low materiality.

- Positive factor: New kimberlite intercept identified.

- Negative factor: No diamond grades reported.

- Negative factor: Very narrow intercept length and true width.

#### Dates

- Event date: 2018-04-10T00:00:00.000Z

Reasoning: This new intercept confirms significant kimberlite presence, but the lack of true width information due to drilling orientation and absence of diamond grades reduce confidence in its immediate materiality.

- Positive factor: Good new kimberlite intercept identified.

- Negative factor: No diamond grades reported.

- Negative factor: True width not determined as hole was drilled on strike, limiting interpretation of actual thickness.

## 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.
