## Minestarters Atlas summary

South Atlantic Gold announced initial diamond drill results from its Pedra Branca Gold Project in Brazil, including visible gold in the first-ever diamond drilling at Igrejinha with an intercept of 6.55 m @ 2.28 g/t Au. At Queimadas, broad zones of gold mineralization were intersected, such as 45.00 m @ 0.40 g/t Au, with one hole ending in mineralization at 250.60 m, demonstrating depth extension. While many assays are pending and true widths are unknown, these results are positive for the project's exploration potential.

Reasoning: The initial diamond drill results from Igrejinha and Queimadas show promising gold mineralization, including visible gold and broad intercepts, extending the known system to depth, although true widths are unknown and some QA/QC concerns exist.

- Positive factor: Visible gold observed

- Positive factor: Broad gold mineralization intersected

- Positive factor: Mineralization extended to depth

- Positive factor: First diamond drilling at Igrejinha

- Positive factor: QA/QC procedures disclosed

- Positive factor: Compositing parameters disclosed

- Positive factor: QP review of results

- Negative factor: True widths not yet known

- Negative factor: QA/QC issues with reference materials

- Negative factor: Coarse gold effect adds uncertainty to high-grade samples

- Negative factor: High-grade visible gold sample not check-assayed

- Negative factor: Many assays pending for program

- Negative factor: Intercepts widely spaced, continuity not established

## Classification and evidence

**Visible Gold**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: No canonical definition is currently available.

Why it applies: Visible gold was confirmed by assays in the first diamond drilling at Igrejinha, specifically in hole 26DDIGR005.

Evidence · text

> Visible gold confirmed by assays in the first diamond drilling at Igrejinha:hole 26DDIGR005, drilled beneath trench PBTR009 \(7.04 m @ 6.19 g/t Au, 2021 technical report\), returned 6.55 m @ 2.28 g/t Aufrom 35.00 m, including 4.80 m @ 3.06 g/t Au, which includes 1.00 m @ 12.75 g/t Au, the interval with the visible gold observed at 38.1 m \(Figure 1\).

**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 that 'All intervals are downhole lengths; true widths are not yet known.'

Evidence · text

> All intervals are downhole lengths; true widths are not yet known.

**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 includes a detailed 'Quality control' section describing the insertion of certified reference materials, blanks, and field duplicates, and mentions review by the Qualified Person.

Evidence · text

> The Company inserts certified reference materials, blanks and field duplicates into the sample stream. For the batches reported, 92 certified reference materials, 94 blanks and 99 field duplicates were inserted, and results have been received for all of them.

**Compositing Transparent**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Cut-off grade and internal dilution rules are clearly stated for reported intervals.

Why it applies: The document clearly states the rules for calculating composites and included intervals, including thresholds, minimum length, and maximum internal dilution.

Evidence · text

> Composites are length-weighted and calculated at a 0.10 g/t Au threshold, with a minimum length of 2 m and a maximum of 2 m of consecutive internal dilution. Each composite begins and ends on a sample at or above the threshold and averages at least the threshold grade. Included intervals are calculated at a 0.40 g/t Au threshold, the cut-off grade of the 2021 Inferred Mineral Resource estimate, with no minimum length and a maximum of 2 m of consecutive internal dilution, and are reported where they grade above the enclosing composite.

**Coarse Gold Effect**

Polarity: negative

Story-specific tag

Definition: No canonical definition is currently available.

Why it applies: The laboratory reported widely varying repeat fire assay determinations for several samples, attributed to the possible presence of free gold, which 'adds uncertainty to individual determinations'.

Evidence · text

> For samples from several holes, the laboratory reported widely varying repeat fire assay determinations, which it attributes to the possible presence of free gold. These include one sample in the 35.00 m to 41.55 m interval in hole 26DDIGR005 \(the 35.00 m to 36.10 m sample\), one in each of the reported intervals in holes 26DDIGR009, 26DDIGR013 and 26DDQUE004, and one in the 142.00 m to 164.30 m interval in hole 26DDQUE009. The variability may reflect a coarse-gold \(nugget\) effect and adds uncertainty to individual determinations.

**Assays Pending**

Polarity: neutral

Story-specific tag

Definition: No canonical definition is currently available.

Why it applies: The company explicitly states that 'more than 50% of the results' are still pending for the program, including for Mirador, and unassayed intervals for Igrejinha and Queimadas.

Evidence · text

> Whilst we are still waiting for more than 50% of the results, the first ones are already shaping our understanding of how the gold is arranged.

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The program was designed to 'further test Queimadas, extending the known mineralization along strike and at depth'.

Evidence · text

> The current program was designed to further test Queimadas, extending the known mineralization along strike and at depth and improving the understanding of its characteristics, to put the first diamond holes into Igrejinha, and to drill Mirador.

Reasoning: This bonanza-grade sub-interval is a highly significant result from the first diamond drilling at Igrejinha, though subject to coarse gold effect uncertainty.

- Positive factor: First diamond drilling at Igrejinha

- Positive factor: QA/QC procedures disclosed

- Positive factor: Compositing parameters disclosed

- Positive factor: QP review of results

- Negative factor: True widths not yet known

- Negative factor: Coarse gold effect adds uncertainty to high-grade samples

- Negative factor: Many assays pending for program

- Negative factor: Intercepts widely spaced, continuity not established

#### Tags used in scoring

**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: qaqc\_disclosed is true

**Compositing Transparent**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Cut-off grade and internal dilution rules are clearly stated for reported intervals.

Why it applies: cutoff\_grade and internal dilution are both stated

## 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.
