The sampling identified new NW-SE shear zones that have not yet been drill tested, with a maiden drill program planned for 2025. Reasoning: Significant high-grade gold intercepts \(18.1 g/t over 7m\) from new channel sampling in a previously untested zone \(Cayos\), supported by robust QA/QC and QP sign-off. - Positive factor: high-grade channel sampling - Positive factor: newly identified shear zones - Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed - Positive factor: QP signed Facts used in scoring: 5 ## Classification and evidence No classification tags are available. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 5. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (5) ### Fact 1 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/palamina-channel-sampling-in-the-cayos-zone-returns-18-1-gpt-gold-over-7-metres--cb0f6462-7909-4944-b893-d9d4f63da298#fact-drill-facts-0) gold #### Identity - Commodity: gold - Ticker: PA #### Geometry - Grade: 18.1 - Grade Unit: g/t - Intercept: 7 m #### Classification - Sample Type: channel - Group ID: CAY006-25:0-7 #### QA/QC - Laboratory: Certimin S.A. - QA/QC Disclosed: Yes - Lab Certified: Yes - QP Signed: Yes - QA/QC Methods: blanks, standards, duplicates #### Review - Needs Review: No - Interp.

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.
