# Turmalina Metals Commences Drilling at the San Francisco Project Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/turmalina-metals-commences-drilling-at-the-san-francisco-project--c1249e0c-05ec-4784-b8da-59e672ec59cb Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/KCP/news/5314399298901590/turmalina-metals-commences-drilling-at-the-san-francisco-project Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2020-06-03T12:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Turmalina Metals Corp. - Ticker: TBX - Exchange: TSX - Region: San Juan, Argentina - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver, Copper - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-08-23 19:18:35 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Turmalina Metals has commenced a 4,500m drilling campaign at the San Francisco gold-silver-copper project in Argentina. The program includes testing for extensions of the SFdLA breccia and exploring newly identified breccia pipes. Reasoning: The announcement marks the start of a new drilling campaign, but the primary drill intercepts provided are historical results from a 2019 release. - Positive factor: Commencement of drilling campaign - Positive factor: High-grade historical intercepts cited - Positive factor: New high-grade surface samples identified - Negative factor: Most drill results are historical restatements Facts used in scoring: 9 ## 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: The release mentions a Qualified Person \(Dr. Rohan Wolfe\) and review of technical data. Evidence · text > The scientific and technical data contained in this news release... has been reviewed and approved by Dr. Rohan Wolfe... who serves as the Qualified Person \(QP\) **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The program includes drilling to follow up on previous results and testing for extensions. Evidence · text > This phase two drill program will be a concurrent blend of drilling at the \(SFdLA\) breccia, to follow up on a very successful initial drill program ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 9. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (9) ### SFDH-001 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/turmalina-metals-commences-drilling-at-the-san-francisco-project--c1249e0c-05ec-4784-b8da-59e672ec59cb#fact-drill-facts-0) San Francisco · gold Historical result Needs review: historical\_restatement #### Identity - Hole ID: SFDH-001 - Project: San Francisco - Commodity: gold - Region: argentina - Reported Region: San Juan, Argentina - Ticker: TBX #### Geometry - Grade: 6.31 - Grade Unit: g/t - Intercept: 36.95 m - From: 34.5 m #### Classification - Program: resource - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: SFDH-001:34.5-71.45 #### Review - Needs Review: Yes - Review Reason: historical\_restatement - 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.
