# Strategic Metals samples 2740 g/t silver and 8.37 g/t gold at its Triple Crown Project, Yukon Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/strategic-metals-samples-2740-g-t-silver-and-8-37-g-t-gold-at-its-triple-crown-p--9ee759de-e6f3-4225-9eda-4d73cc96cd62 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/SMD/news/6508683692922219/strategic-metals-samples-2740-g-t-silver-and-8-37-g-t-gold-at-its-triple-crown-p Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2025-08-19T12:30:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Strategic Metals Ltd. - Ticker: SMD - Exchange: TSX - Region: Yukon - Primary commodity: Silver - Secondary commodities: Gold, Lead, Copper, Bismuth - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-08-24 10:57:35 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Strategic Metals reported high-grade silver trench samples of up to 2740 g/t and gold grab samples of up to 8.37 g/t at the Triple Crown Project in Yukon. The results include both new 2025 trenching and historical 2016 data, highlighting a prospective epithermal and porphyry system. Reasoning: High-grade silver trench samples \(2740 g/t\) and gold grab samples \(8.37 g/t\) demonstrate significant surface mineralization at a new target zone. - Positive factor: Bonanza silver grades - Positive factor: QA/QC Disclosed - Positive factor: Step-Out Extension Facts used in scoring: 5 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 2740 g/t silver is exceptionally high grade. Evidence · text > 2740 g/t silver **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 ALS Minerals and specific assay methods \(fire assay, ICP\). Evidence · text > Analytical work was done by ALS Minerals **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Trenches were excavated along strike from 2016 trenches into a new zone. Evidence · text > excavated along strike from trenches completed by Strategic in 2016 ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 5.

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.
