## Minestarters Atlas summary

TDG Gold Corp. reported high-grade copper-gold mineralization from its first drillhole \(TDG25-001\) at the AuWEST target in British Columbia. The hole intersected 100.0 m at 2.24 g/t Au and 0.38% Cu, part of a larger 240.6 m zone, confirming porphyry-style mineralization near the AuRORA 1 discovery.

Reasoning: First drillhole at AuWEST target returned a strong gold-copper intercept \(2.24 g/t Au and 0.38% Cu\) within a broader mineralized zone, located near a major porphyry discovery.

- Positive factor: High-grade intercept in first drillhole

- Positive factor: Proximity to major discovery \(AuRORA 1\)

- Positive factor: Porphyry-style mineralization confirmed

- Positive factor: QA/QC protocols disclosed

- Negative factor: True width unknown

- Negative factor: Preliminary results only

Facts used in scoring: 8

## 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 use of certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates, and names Bureau Veritas laboratory.

Evidence · text

> inserted certified reference materials, blanks and duplicates

**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 'True width is unknown'.

Evidence · text

> True width is unknown

## 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.
