While the zones show anomalous pathfinder elements like arsenic and sulphur, gold and silver grades remain non-economic. Reasoning: The drill program identified significant volumes of alteration and pathfinder elements \(As, Sb, Hg, S\), but failed to intersect economic grades of gold or silver, rendering the results non-economic. - Positive factor: identification of stratabound alteration/mineralization - Positive factor: correlation with IP chargeability highs - Negative factor: gold and silver values are non-economic - Negative factor: precious metals are lacking in anomalous zones - Negative factor: presence of deleterious elements \(As, Sb, Hg, S\) Facts used in scoring: 12 ## 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: Release mentions QC samples including Certified Reference Materials, duplicates and blanks passed internal review. Evidence · text > The Plato Gold QC samples, comprising Certified Reference Materials, duplicates and blanks, passed an internal review **Deleterious Elements Present** Polarity: negative Definition: Penalty elements \(arsenic, antimony, etc.\) or refractory concerns noted in the release. Why it applies: Core samples contain anomalous arsenic, sulphur, antimony and mercury. Evidence · text > Core samples of these zones contain anomalous arsenic, sulphur and sometimes antimony and mercury. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 12. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (12) ### LO-25-003 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/plato-gold-announces-results-of-drill-program-at-lolita-project-santa-cruz-argen--a591377c-807f-4faf-b11d-761d9916d272#fact-drill-facts-0) Lolita Project · arsenic #### Identity - Hole ID: LO-25-003 - Project: Lolita Project - Commodity: arsenic - Region: argentina - Reported Region: Santa Cruz, Argentina - Ticker: PGC #### Geometry - Grade: 395 - Grade Unit: ppm - Intercept: 25.35 m - From: 33.5 m - To: 58.85 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: LO-25-003:33.5-58.85 #### 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.
