## Minestarters Atlas summary

Rockhaven Resources Ltd. has received approval from the Yukon Government to extract and direct ship high-grade oxide material from its Klaza Gold-Silver Deposit. This approval is underpinned by significant 2025 trench results from the Western BRX Zone, which include grades up to 204.0 g/t gold and 1,850 g/t silver over narrow intervals. The company has also secured an offtake agreement with Ocean Partners and a US$1.5 million revolving credit facility to support the program, which aims to gather data for future development despite early-stage economic assessments.

Reasoning: Rockhaven received approval to extract and direct ship high-grade gold-silver oxide material from its Klaza deposit, supported by exceptional trench results and secured an offtake agreement and credit facility, although the company notes the early-stage nature of economic studies.

- Positive factor: Approval received for direct shipping of high-grade oxide material

- Positive factor: Very high-grade gold and silver trench results reported

- Positive factor: Offtake agreement secured with Ocean Partners

- Positive factor: Revolving credit facility of US$1.5 million secured

- Positive factor: Oxidized material is free-digging, reducing extraction costs

- Positive factor: QA/QC procedures are disclosed and QP signed off

- Negative factor: Company cautions on economic potential due to lack of feasibility study

- Negative factor: Trench results are surface samples, not drill intercepts from depth

- Negative factor: Cut-off grades for trench results are not disclosed

Facts used in scoring: 108

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: Many trench results show exceptionally high gold grades \(e.g., 204.0 g/t Au, 143.0 g/t Au\) and silver grades \(e.g., 1,850 g/t Ag, 1,535 g/t Ag\), well above typical deposit norms.

Evidence · table

> 204.0

Context: 0.50

**True Width Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: The document states that 'True widths are estimated to be 80-95% of the interval as the majority of vein intersects had contacts that were at or near perpendicular to trench axis'.

Evidence · text

> True widths are estimated to be 80-95% of the interval as the majority of vein intersects had contacts that were at or near perpendicular to trench axis.

**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 QA/QC procedures, including analysis by ALS Minerals, routine insertion of certified assay standards and blanks, and approval by a Qualified Person \(Matthew R. Dumala, P.Eng.\).

Evidence · text

> All analyses for trench and drill samples from this press release were performed by ALS Minerals with sample preparation in Whitehorse and assays and geochemical analyses in North Vancouver. ... Certified assay standards and blanks were routinely inserted into the sample stream to ensure integrity of the assay process. ... Technical information in this news release has been approved by Matthew R. Dumala, P.Eng.

**Free Milling**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Simple, clean ore amenable to standard processing without oxidation.

Why it applies: The document states that 'due to its oxidized nature, the DSO material is free-digging \(i.e. does not require drilling and blasting before extraction\)', indicating simple processing characteristics.

Evidence · text

> due to its oxidized nature, the DSO material is free-digging \(i.e. does not require drilling and blasting before extraction\)

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: The trench results are reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing or reporting intervals.

Evidence · text

> Results from this work are summarized in the table below

**Stale Data Re-release**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Historical results re-announced with no new assays or reinterpretation — low genuine novelty.

Why it applies: Table 2 presents 'Highlight Drill Intersect' data with hole IDs from previous years \(e.g., KL-12-115, KL-17-376\), indicating these are historical results re-announced as highlights.

Evidence · table

> 13.75 g/t gold and 357 g/t silver over 2.11 m \(KL-12-115\)

Context: Western Klaza

## 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.
