Highlights include 5.0 metres at 12.84 g/t AuEq \(including 2.0 metres at 28.06 g/t AuEq\) and 12.2 metres at 6.24 g/t AuEq \(including 2.0 metres at 16.65 g/t AuEq\). These results confirm the presence of high-grade epithermal gold-copper veins and demonstrate continuity along the Megabe structure, indicating significant exploration upside. Reasoning: South Pacific Metals Corp. announced outstanding drill results from hole ONED26-009 at its Ontenu Project, intersecting multiple high-grade gold-copper-silver equivalent zones, including a bonanza intercept of 2.0m at 28.06 g/t AuEq. These results confirm the presence of high-grade epithermal veins, demonstrate continuity along the recently discovered Megabe structure, and indicate significant exploration potential, although true widths are yet to be determined. The provided peer comparison for 'skarn / copper' is not directly applicable to this 'epithermal gold-copper' deposit. - Positive factor: Exceptional gold equivalent grades - Positive factor: Multiple high-grade intercepts within one hole - Positive factor: Confirms geological hypothesis of high-grade epithermal veins - Positive factor: Demonstrates along-strike continuity of mineralization - Positive factor: Significant exploration upside and potential for a larger system - Positive factor: QP/CP Signed - Positive factor: QA/QC Disclosed - Positive factor: Metal Equivalent Assumptions Disclosed - Negative factor: Apparent Width Only Facts used in scoring: 79 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: The intercept of 2.0m at 28.06 g/t AuEq and 2.0m at 16.65 g/t AuEq are exceptionally high-grade for an epithermal gold deposit. Evidence · table > 28.06 Context: 2.0 **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Hole ONED26-009 intersected 'hanging wall' mineralisation about 75m along strike to the southeast from the ONED26-007 intersection, providing early evidence of grade and structural continuity. Evidence · text > Hole ONED26-009 intersected this "hanging wall" mineralisation about 75m along strike to the southeast from the ONED26-007 intersection. **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 logging, sample preparation, assay methods by Intertek Laboratory, and insertion of certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates. Evidence · text > Quality Assurance and Quality Control All drill holes are logged on site by the Company's geology team. Drill core \(PQ or HQ\) is half-cut, with samples secured and shipped to Intertek Laboratory in Lae, Papua New Guinea. Gold is assayed by 50 g fire assay with AAS finish \(FA50/AA\); copper and silver are assayed by 3-acid digest with AAS finish \(PGGA03\) at Intertek Lae. Sample pulps are subsequently sent to Intertek in Perth, Western Australia, for multi-element ICP-MS analysis using a 4-acid digest \(4A/MS\) \(hole ONED26-009 is pending the multi-element ICP-MS work\). Two certified reference materials \(standards\), one blank and one duplicate are inserted within each batch of 100 samples to monitor laboratory performance. **QP/CP Signed** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience. Why it applies: The technical and scientific information has been reviewed and approved by Dr. Darren Holden, a 'Qualified Person' as defined under National Instrument 43-101. Evidence · text > The technical and scientific information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Dr. Darren Holden, B.Sc. \(Hons\), Ph.D., FAusIMM, a technical advisor and consultant to the Company and a "Qualified Person" as defined under National Instrument 43-101. **Metal Equivalent Assumptions Disclosed** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: No canonical definition is currently available. Why it applies: The release clearly states the metal prices and co-recovery assumptions used for the AuEq calculation. Evidence · text > Au Eq based on 100% equal co-recoveries of Au, Ag & Cu using Au price of US$4,180 per ounce, Ag price of US$62 per ounce and Cu price of $6.20 per lb. **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 true widths have not yet been determined. Evidence · text > True widths have not yet been determined pending further structural interpretation. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 79.

Evidence · table > 7.2 Context: ONED26-009 ## 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.
