## Minestarters Atlas summary

Pasofino Gold is advancing exploration at its Dugbe Gold Project in Liberia, focusing on new targets like Jadae East and DSZ near the existing Tuzon and Dugbe F deposits. The company has acquired an auger rig to test shallow targets and plans to commence a larger drilling program in October 2025.

Reasoning: The update provides strategic direction for exploration near existing high-value deposits, though it relies heavily on historical data and surface observations rather than new assay results.

- Positive factor: identification of new drill targets \(Jadae East, DSZ\)

- Positive factor: presence of artisanal mining indicating surface gold

- Positive factor: proximity to existing 3.3 Moz M&I resource

- Positive factor: purchase of new auger drilling rig for rapid testing

- Negative factor: targets are currently un-drill-tested

- Negative factor: historical channel sample data is from 2021

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence.

Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
