# Smooth Rock Drills 122 g/t Au over 1.1 Meters at Palmetto Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/smooth-rock-drills-122-g-t-au-over-1-1-meters-at-palmetto--0dec25a3-2f01-44da-864a-e129270f8e04 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/SMRV/news/5053302545131577/smooth-rock-drills-122-g-t-au-over-1-1-meters-at-palmetto Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2021-06-03T12:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Smooth Rock Ventures Corp. - Ticker: SOCK - Exchange: TSX - Region: Nevada - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-08-24 11:23:24 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Smooth Rock Ventures reported high-grade gold drill results from its Palmetto Gold project in Nevada, highlighted by an intercept of 122.5 g/t Au over 1.1 meters. The results are part of an initial 2021 diamond drilling program aimed at expanding the current resource. Reasoning: The release reports a high-grade bonanza intercept \(122.5 g/t Au\) and strong continuous mineralization in an initial exploration program, supported by robust QA/QC disclosures. - Positive factor: Bonanza intercept of 122.5 g/t Au - Positive factor: Strong grade-width product in SRV 21-01 - Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed with certified lab and QP sign-off - Negative factor: Apparent width only \(true width not disclosed\) Facts used in scoring: 7 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 122.5 g/t Au is exceptionally high grade for the project context. Evidence · text > 122.5 g/t Au over 1.1 meters **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 certified laboratory, blanks, standards, and duplicates. Evidence · text > A blank or certified reference material was inserted approximately every tenth sample. **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: The document explicitly states widths are drill indicated core length and insufficient drilling has been undertaken to determine true widths. Evidence · text > Widths are drill indicated core length as insufficient drilling has been undertaken to determine true widths at this time. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 7.
