## Minestarters Atlas summary

OceanaGold reported exceptional high-grade gold and silver drill results from 16 new holes at its Wharekirauponga project in New Zealand, part of an ongoing resource conversion and exploration program. Highlights include 6.3m at 97.2 g/t Au and 8.5m at 41.5 g/t Au \(true widths\), demonstrating strong continuity and extension of the high-grade EG Vein zone which remains open. These results are expected to support an upgrade of Inferred to Indicated Mineral Resources and an increase in Mineral Reserves in the upcoming Waihi District technical report.

Reasoning: The drill results from Wharekirauponga show exceptional high-grade gold intercepts with good true widths, confirming continuity and extending mineralization, supporting resource conversion and future growth, all backed by robust QA/QC. The project remains open in multiple directions.

- Positive factor: Bonanza Intercept

- Positive factor: True Width Disclosed

- Positive factor: Step-Out Extension

- Positive factor: QA/QC Disclosed

- Positive factor: Infill Drilling

- Negative factor: Poor core recovery in one hole \(WKP 146 D\) leading to conservative grade assignment.

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

Facts used in scoring: 36

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: Multiple gold intercepts exceed the 15 g/t exceptional threshold for underground epithermal deposits, including 97.2 g/t Au over 6.3m and 107.7 g/t Au over 1.2m.

Evidence · text

> 6 . 3 m @ 97 . 2 g/​t Au from 481 . 5 m, East Graben \(“EG”\) Vein \(WKP 146 C\)

**True Width Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: The drill results table explicitly provides 'True width \(m\)' for all reported intercepts.

Evidence · table

> True width \(m\)

Context: True width \(m\)

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The company states that drilling 'continues to extend mineralization up-dip' and the orebody remains 'open along strike, up-dip and at depth'.

Evidence · text

> orebody remaining open in multiple directions

**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 'Quality Assurance and Quality Control' section, mentioning certified labs, QP sign-off, and methods like blanks, standards, and duplicates.

Evidence · text

> Quality Assurance and Quality Control \(“QA/QC”\)

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

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

Why it applies: The drilling program is described as an 'exploration and resource conversion program' and the table activity is 'Conversion', indicating infill drilling to upgrade resource categories.

Evidence · text

> ongoing exploration and resource conversion program

**Deleterious Elements Present**

Polarity: negative

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

Why it applies: Assays include analysis for arsenic, antimony, mercury, and sulfur, which are common penalty elements.

Evidence · text

> Samples post-April 2024 with Ag, As, Sb, Hg and S by ICP-MS after DIG 12 R Digest

## 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.
