## Minestarters Atlas summary

Viscount Mining Corp. reported high-grade silver and gold drill results from its 2026 program at the Silver Cliff Project, Colorado. The step-out drilling successfully identified mineralization beyond the current Kate NI 43-101 resource boundary, including a standout 7.9m intercept at 473.2 g/t Ag and 2.92 g/t Au in hole K26-08.

Reasoning: Significant step-out results that extend the known mineralized footprint of the Kate resource and identify a high-priority corridor toward the Passiflora target.

- Positive factor: Step-out drilling confirms mineralization beyond existing resource boundaries

- Positive factor: High-grade silver-gold intercepts in K26-08

- Positive factor: Broad silver mineralization confirmed at 15 g/t cutoff

- Positive factor: Discovery of potential porphyry-related alteration styles

- Negative factor: True widths not yet determined

Facts used in scoring: 9

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Drilling confirmed silver mineralization beyond current Kate Silver Resource limits.

Evidence · text

> Step-Out Drilling Confirms Silver Mineralization Beyond Current Kate Silver Resource Limits

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: K26-08 returned 1,030 g/t silver and 675 g/t silver intercepts.

Evidence · table

> 1,030

Context: 278-283

**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 fire-assay analysis and review by a Qualified Person \(Harald Hoegberg\).

Evidence · text

> has been reviewed and approved by Harald Hoegberg, C.P.G., an independent consulting geologist who is a "Qualified Person"

**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: All reported lengths are downhole core lengths; true widths have not been determined.

Evidence · text

> All reported lengths are downhole core lengths; true widths have not been determined.

## 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.
