## Minestarters Atlas summary

TNR Gold Corp. is conducting a field program at its Shotgun gold project in Southwest Alaska to support its search for a strategic partner. The project contains a historical inferred resource of approximately 706,000 oz of gold within 20.73 million tonnes at 1.06 g/t gold.

Reasoning: The document discusses a historical resource and a current field program to support partner attraction, rather than announcing a new resource estimate.

- Positive factor: significant historical resource

- Positive factor: intrusion-related gold potential

- Positive factor: geophysical data shows repeating fault-controlled structures

- Negative factor: secondary asset in portfolio

- Negative factor: seeking partner to advance

Facts used in scoring: 1

## Classification and evidence

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: The resource is explicitly categorized as inferred based on a 2013 calculation.

Evidence · text

> 705,960 oz of gold in 20.73 million metric tons of inferred resource

**Stale Estimate**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Effective date is >2 years old — data currency concern, may not reflect current geological understanding.

Why it applies: The resource estimate is based on a calculation completed in 2013, which is over 10 years old.

Evidence · text

> According to a calculation completed in 2013

#### Tags used in scoring

**Inferred Resource**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone.

Why it applies: category is "inferred"

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

**No QP/CP Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: No Qualified Person or Competent Person named — lower credibility for the estimate. A QP/CP should be a member of a recognized professional association with relevant experience.

Why it applies: no Qualified or Competent Person is named anywhere in the release

**Stale Estimate**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Effective date is >2 years old — data currency concern, may not reflect current geological understanding.

Why it applies: effective date is 13.7 years before this release

## 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.
