## Minestarters Atlas summary

Spanish Mountain Gold announced additional assay results from six exploration drill holes at its Orca Fault target, extending the trend to over 500 metres strike length. The drilling intersected numerous high-grade gold results, including 40.00 metres grading 0.98 g/t gold and 2.04 metres grading 8.61 g/t gold. The company noted strong continuity of mineralization and comprehensive QA/QC procedures, though true thickness remains unknown.

Reasoning: The drill results successfully extend the known strike length of the Orca Fault target with multiple significant gold intercepts, including high-grade zones, confirming geological continuity and unlocking additional mineral potential. The comprehensive QA/QC procedures support the reliability of the data, although the lack of true thickness information introduces some uncertainty.

- Positive factor: Extension of the Orca Fault target trend to over 500 metres strike length, indicating significant growth potential.

- Positive factor: Numerous high-grade gold intercepts, including 40.00 metres grading 0.98 g/t gold and 2.04 metres grading 8.61 g/t gold, demonstrating strong mineralization.

- Positive factor: Confirmation of geological and structural continuity across multiple parallel drill sections, de-risking future exploration.

- Positive factor: Comprehensive QA/QC program with accredited laboratory and QP sign-off, enhancing data reliability.

- Negative factor: True thickness of mineralization is unknown for all reported intercepts, which limits the precise understanding of the geometry and scale of the mineralization.

## Classification and evidence

**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 a comprehensive QA/QC program including blanks, standards, duplicates, and the use of an accredited laboratory \(MSALABS\) with QP sign-off.

Evidence · text

> The QAQC program was overseen by the Company’s Qualified Person, Julian Manco, P.Geo, Director of Exploration \(as described below\). The data verification process involved a multi-step approach to ensure accuracy and integrity. This included a detailed quality control \(QC\) analysis of the data, which was performed using both internal and external platforms, such as the MxDeposit™ software. These QC checks involved the analysis of certified reference materials \(CRMs\), blanks, and duplicates to confirm the reliability of the assay results. In addition, a field inspection of the specific drill intervals mentioned in this release has been conducted to directly observe the geological features and verified the nature of the results presented. Drill core samples were submitted to MSALABS’s analytical facility in Prince George, British Columbia, for sample preparation and PhotonAssay TM analysis. The MSALABS facilities are accredited to the International Standards ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 9001 standard for gold and multi-element assays, with all analytical methods incorporating quality control materials at defined frequencies and established data acceptance criteria. MSALABS Inc. is independent of the Company.

**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 the true thickness of mineralization is unknown for all reported intercepts.

Evidence · table

> True thickness of mineralization is unknown as the project is still at the exploration stage

Context: Note 3\)

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The drilling successfully extended the Orca Fault target trend to a strike length over 500 metres.

Evidence · text

> Drilling Extends the Orca Fault Target Trend to a Strike Length Over 500 Metres

**Cut-off Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison.

Why it applies: The cut-off grade of 0.15 g/t Au used for reported intersections is clearly stated.

Evidence · table

> Reported intersections are calculated using a 0.15 g/t Au cut-off grade.

Context: Notes for Table 1 to Table 6:

**Exploration Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

Story-specific tag

Definition: No canonical definition is currently available.

Why it applies: The document explicitly refers to the drill holes as 'exploration drill holes' and the program as 'exploration drilling'.

Evidence · text

> additional assay results from six exploration drill holes within the Orca Fault target trend and five exploration drill holes from the A12 target

## 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.
