## Minestarters Atlas summary

GoldHaven Resources Corp. has mobilized drilling at the D Zone of its Magno Project in British Columbia, targeting high-grade silver-lead-zinc mineralization. The company also recently completed an eight-hole tungsten-skarn drilling program at its Kuhn target, with assays currently pending.

Reasoning: The document is a market commentary/news roundup that highlights GoldHaven's recent drilling activity and historical intercepts. While it mentions new drilling, the lack of new assays for the Kuhn program and the unverified nature of the D Zone historical data moderate the sentiment.

- Positive factor: drilling at D Zone targeting high-grade mineralization

- Positive factor: skarn continuity suggested by Kuhn program

- Positive factor: favorable silver market supply deficit

- Negative factor: assays for Kuhn program are pending

- Negative factor: historical D Zone results not independently verified

- Negative factor: no current mineral resource defined at Magno Project

Facts used in scoring: 3

## Classification and evidence

**Stale Data Re-release**

Polarity: negative

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

Why it applies: The D Zone silver-lead-zinc intercept is a historical result being mentioned in a news commentary without new assays.

Evidence · text

> historical drilling reported 7.6 metres grading 240 g/t silver

**No QA/QC Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document.

Why it applies: The document explicitly states the historical D Zone result has not been independently verified by a Qualified Person.

Evidence · text

> That result predates NI 43-101 and has not been independently verified by a Qualified Person

## 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.
