# Stellar AfricaGold - Tichka Est Gold Project Momentum Builds as Technical Program Advances; High-Grade Rock Sample of 218.15 g/t Au Returned Between Zones A and B Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/stellar-africagold-tichka-est-gold-project-momentum-builds-as-technical-program--45e9aec9-b9ec-4187-96fe-da9352dbb648 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/SPX/news/5848656576950080/stellar-africagold-tichka-est-gold-project-momentum-builds-as-technical-program- Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-04-23T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Stellar AfricaGold Inc. - Ticker: SPX - Exchange: TSX - Region: Morocco - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-08-26 10:55:15 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Stellar AfricaGold reported a high-grade gold rock sample of 218.33 g/t Au collected from a dyke structure between Zones A and B at the Tichka Est Gold Project in Morocco. The company is also advancing an integrated technical program including 3D modelling and drone topographic surveys to prepare for a planned 5,000-metre drill campaign. Reasoning: The discovery of a 218.33 g/t Au rock sample in a corridor between known zones is a strong exploration signal, though the small sample size and selective nature limit immediate resource certainty. - Positive factor: Bonanza grade rock sample - Positive factor: QA/QC Disclosed - Positive factor: Step-Out Extension - Negative factor: Selective sampling Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: Rock sample returned 218.33 g/t Au, which is exceptionally high. Evidence · text > high-grade rock sample of 218.33 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: Release mentions ISO-certified laboratory \(Afrilab\) and specific assay methods \(fire assay, AAS\). Evidence · text > Sample preparation and gold assaying were performed by Afrilab in Marrakech, an ISO-certified laboratory **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: High-grade mineralization identified in the corridor between existing Zones A and B. Evidence · text > shows the presence of high-grade gold mineralization outside the currently drilled Zone B area and within the corridor between Zone A and B ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6.

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.
