## Minestarters Atlas summary

Valkea Resources announced drill results from its 2025 fall exploration program at the Koivu Zone within the Paana Project in Northern Finland. The seven-hole program confirmed and extended bulk-tonnage gold mineralization over a 200-meter dip extent and 100-meter strike extent, with highlights including 12.65 meters at 0.77 g/t gold \(including 6.0 meters at 1.15 g/t gold\) in AW-25-010 and a high-grade vein intercept of 0.5 meters at 17.55 g/t gold in AW-25-012. The company plans further step-out drilling to test extensions and the gap towards the Honka Zone.

Reasoning: Valkea Resources announced positive drill results from its Paana Project, confirming and extending bulk-tonnage gold mineralization at the Koivu Zone. The program successfully demonstrated continuity over significant dimensions and identified new high-grade zones, supporting the project's potential. The results are well-supported by transparent QA/QC and compositing disclosures, though the lack of true width information is a minor drawback.

- Positive factor: Continuity of bulk-tonnage gold mineralization confirmed over significant dip and strike extents

- Positive factor: Discovery of a new zone of gold mineralization in AW-25-010

- Positive factor: Intersection of high-grade vein mineralization outside of bulk-tonnage zones, indicating complex system

- Positive factor: Robust QA/QC procedures with certified lab and QP sign-off

- Positive factor: Clear disclosure of cut-off grade and internal dilution rules

- Negative factor: True widths are unknown for all reported intervals

- Negative factor: Some historical results are re-referenced without new data

## 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 includes detailed QA/QC disclosure, mentioning ALS Global as a certified lab \(ISO/IEC 17025:2017\), a Qualified Person sign-off, and methods like duplicates, standards, and blanks.

Evidence · text

> All drill core analytical results have been monitored through the Company's quality assurance and quality control program \(QA/QC\). Drill core was sawn in half at Valkea's dedicated and secure core logging and processing facility in Sodankylä, Finland. Half of the drill core was sampled and delivered in secured bags to the ALS Global preparation facilities in Sodankylä, Finland. Core samples were prepared using ALS standard preparation procedure PREP-31A which involves crushing the sample to 70% less than 2mm, followed by a riffle split of 250g, and then a pulverised split to better than 85% passing 75 microns. Following sample preparation, the pulps were sent to the ALS Global analytical laboratory in Galway, Ireland for analysis. ALS Global is registered to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditations for laboratory procedures. Drill core samples were analyzed for 48 elements by ICP-MS on a 0.25-gram aliquot using a four-acid digestion \(method ME-MS61\). Gold was analyzed by fire assay on a 30-gram aliquot with an AES finish \(inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy - method Au-ICP21\). Overlimit samples \(>10 ppm Au\) were reanalysed by fire assay using a gravimetric finish on a 30-gram aliquot \(Au-GRA21\). In addition to ALS Global laboratory QA/QC protocols, Valkea implements a rigorous internal QA/QC program that includes the insertion of field and lab duplicates, certified reference materials \(standards prepared by an independent lab\) and blanks into the sample stream. Data verification of the analytical results includes a statistical analysis of the QA/QC data. Results are considered acceptable. ... The disclosure of technical or scientific information in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Christopher Leslie, Ph.D., P.Geo., Chief Geologist for the Company and a Qualified Person as defined under the terms of National Instrument 43-101.

**Compositing Transparent**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Cut-off grade and internal dilution rules are clearly stated for reported intervals.

Why it applies: The document clearly states the cut-off grade \(0.1 g/t gold\) and internal dilution rules \(less than five continuous meters of internal dilution\) used for interval calculations.

Evidence · text

> Calculations are uncut and length-weighted using a 0.1 g/t gold cutoff with less than five continuous meters of internal dilution

**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 that intervals are downhole core lengths and true widths are unknown.

Evidence · text

> Intervals are downhole core lengths. True widths are unknown.

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The drilling extended mineralization along strike and down-dip, with holes AW-25-009 and AW-25-010 extending Domain A 50 meters south, and further step-outs are warranted.

Evidence · text

> Assay results demonstrate continuity of bulk-tonnage style gold mineralization at the Koivu Zone covering a 200-meter dip extent and over 100-meter strike extent where it remains open down-dip and along strike: ... Drill holes AW-25-009 and AW-25-010 extend the strike-extent of Domain A, 50 meters south. ... Follow-up step-outs down-dip and southward toward the high-grade Honka Zone are warranted to further assess the scale and characteristics of this emerging target.

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm.

Why it applies: The intercept of 17.55 g/t gold over 0.5 meters in AW-25-012 is exceptionally high-grade, well above the exceptional threshold for open-pit orogenic gold \(5 g/t\).

Reasoning: This historical intercept from AW-24-005 shows strong gold mineralization over an exceptional width, providing a positive context for the current drilling, though it is not new information.

- Positive factor: Strong grade for open-pit orogenic gold

- Positive factor: Exceptional width for bulk-tonnage style mineralization

- Negative factor: Historical data, not new

- Negative factor: True width 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.
