The results include a 6m Cu-Ni-Co sulphide zone and two separate PGE-mineralized zones, confirming a fertile magmatic sulphide system. Reasoning: The results from the first hole at the Loki target confirm a fertile magmatic sulphide system with standout Cu-Ni-Co and separate PGE mineralization. - Positive factor: Significant base metal grades \(Cu-Ni-Co\) in a new target - Positive factor: Discovery of separate PGE mineralization confirming magmatic system - Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed with ISO accredited lab and QP sign-off - Positive factor: First hole at the Loki target - Negative factor: Apparent width only \(true width not yet determined\) Facts used in scoring: 10 ## 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: Release mentions certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates, and names an ISO 17025 accredited lab. Evidence · text > Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd. is an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory **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: Reported intervals are drill-core lengths and true widths are not yet determined. Evidence · text > Reported intervals are drill-core lengths; true widths are not yet determined. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 10. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (10) ### BA2601 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/stakeholder-delivers-standout-assays-from-hole-ba2601-at-the-loki-target-highly--b0a3eef3-6d23-46db-85d4-5521616b3b14#fact-drill-facts-0) Ballarat Gold-Copper Project · copper #### Identity - Hole ID: BA2601 - Project: Ballarat Gold-Copper Project - Commodity: copper - Region: canada\_yt - Reported Region: Yukon Territory - Ticker: SRC #### Geometry - Grade: 1190 - Grade Unit: ppm - Intercept: 6 m - From: 254 m - To: 260 m #### Classification - Program: exploration - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: BA2601:254-260 - Mining Method: unknown #### QA/QC - Laboratory: Bureau Veritas - QA/QC Disclosed: Yes - Lab Certified: Yes - QP Signed: Yes #### Review - Needs Review: No - Interp.

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.
