## Minestarters Atlas summary

Opus One Gold has completed its 2026 drill program at the Noyell property, extending Zone 1 gold mineralization from surface to approximately 750 metres depth. The program also successfully identified a second priority exploration area at the newly drilled Zone West, which shows continuous mineralization over 800 metres of strike.

Reasoning: The program successfully extended the known depth of Zone 1 and identified a new exploration front at Zone West, though some areas returned marginal results.

- Positive factor: Zone 1 mineralization extended to 750m depth

- Positive factor: Zone 1 remains open at depth

- Positive factor: Strong high-grade eastern shoot identified

- Positive factor: Successful first-pass drilling at new Zone West area

- Negative factor: Marginal gold values in western portion of Zone 1

Facts used in scoring: 10

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Drilling has extended the Zone 1 gold mineralization from surface to approximately 750 metres depth.

Evidence · text

> drilling has now traced the Zone 1 gold-mineralized structure continuously from surface down to approximately 750 metres vertical depth

**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 the QA/QC program, including certified blanks and gold grade certified material.

Evidence · text

> Control samples consist of a certified blank and various gold grades certified material.

**True Width Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: True width values are explicitly stated for several key intercepts, such as NO-26-21a \(9.08m\) and NO-26-07 \(7.16m\).

Evidence · text

> 9.08 metres true width

## 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.
