## Minestarters Atlas summary

Sitka Gold reported significant drill results from hole DDRCCC-26-121 at the Blackjack Deposit, extending high-grade gold mineralization 370m below the existing resource pit. The hole returned a 19.3m intercept at 5.04 g/t Au within a much broader 273.8m interval at 1.10 g/t Au.

Reasoning: The hole successfully extended high-grade mineralization 370m below the existing resource and 110m laterally, representing a significant discovery-style step-out.

- Positive factor: significant depth extension

- Positive factor: high-grade intercept

- Positive factor: lateral strike extension

Facts used in scoring: 3

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Mineralization extended 370m below existing resource and 110m laterally.

Evidence · text

> successfully extended high-grade gold mineralization approximately 370 m below the existing resource pit and 110 m laterally along strike

## 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.
