## Minestarters Atlas summary

South Pacific Metals Corp. reported high-grade rock chip assay results from its Ontenu NE prospect, part of the Osena Project in Papua New Guinea. The results include exceptional copper grades up to 21.19% and silver up to 310 g/t, alongside historical high-grade gold results. These findings highlight the potential for intermediate sulfidation epithermal deposits, similar to those mined by K92 Mining Ltd.

Reasoning: South Pacific Metals Corp. announced extremely high-grade copper \(up to 21.2%\) and silver \(up to 310 g/t\) rock chip assay results from its Ontenu NE prospect, confirming the presence of significant mineralization characteristic of high-grade epithermal deposits, similar to the nearby K92 Mining operation.

- Positive factor: Exceptional copper grades

- Positive factor: Exceptional silver grades

- Positive factor: High-grade gold results \(historical but contextual\)

- Positive factor: QP/CP sign-off

- Positive factor: Detailed QA/QC procedures

- Positive factor: Comparison to producing high-grade mine \(K92 Mining\)

- Positive factor: Epithermal deposit type known for high grades

- Negative factor: Results are from surface rock chip samples, not drill core

- Negative factor: Gold results are historical

Facts used in scoring: 108

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm.

Why it applies: Multiple copper grades \(21.19%, 18.14%, 12.36%\) and silver grades \(310 g/t, 258 g/t, 214 g/t\) are well above the exceptional thresholds for epithermal deposits.

Evidence · text

> 21.2% Cu, 214 g/t Ag, \(0.41 g/t Au\)

**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 the laboratory used \(ITS \(PNG\) Ltd \(Intertek\)\), assay methods \(Fire Assay, 3-acid digest, 4-acid digestion with ICPMS\), and mentions the insertion of certified reference material, duplicates, and blanks.

Evidence · text

> Certified reference material, duplicates and blanks were inserted into the rock sample stream to monitor laboratory performance, with no significant variations from expected results.

**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 scientific and technical information has been reviewed and approved by Darren Holden, a 'Qualified Person' as defined under NI 43-101.

Evidence · text

> The scientific and technical information disclosed in this release has been compiled by Company geologists and consultants and reviewed and approved by Darren Holden, BSc\(Hons\) \(Geology\), PhD, FAusIMM, a "Qualified Person" as defined under the Canadian Institute of Mining National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects .

**Historical Data**

Polarity: neutral

Story-specific tag

Definition: No canonical definition is currently available.

Why it applies: The document explicitly states that gold results were previously released on October 6, 2025, and the current release provides new multi-element results for Cu-Ag-Zn.

Evidence · text

> \*Gold results previously released \(refer release dated October 6, 2025\), with multi-element results now received for Cu-Ag-Zn.

**Surface Sample**

Polarity: neutral

Story-specific tag

Definition: No canonical definition is currently available.

Why it applies: All reported results are from rock chip assays and channel samples, which are surface samples.

## 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.
