## Minestarters Atlas summary

Western Gold has identified a new porphyry centre at the Ardlochan Prospect in Scotland through surface rock-chip sampling and soil geochemistry. High-grade surface samples include up to 2.59% Cu and 16.2 g/t Au, with soil anomalies suggesting a concealed porphyry system.

Reasoning: The announcement reports significant new surface sampling results and soil anomalies that define a new porphyry centre, though much of the drill data is historic and non-compliant.

- Positive factor: New porphyry centre identified

- Positive factor: High-grade surface samples

- Positive factor: Soil anomalies confirm mineralization

- Negative factor: Historic data non-compliant

- Negative factor: Limited re-assay sample set

Facts used in scoring: 26

## 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 ALS Loughrea, ISO/IEC 17025 compliance, and use of blanks, standards, and duplicates.

Evidence · text

> All samples... were prepped by ALS Loughrea... complies with ISO/IEC 17025:2017... includes the regular insertion of blanks and standards

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Soil sampling confirms or extends anomalous areas identified from rock sampling.

Evidence · text

> confirming or even extending anomalous areas of elevated Cu-Mo-Au

#### Identity

- Hole ID: KL-02
- Commodity: mo
- Ticker: WGLD

#### Geometry

- Grade: 88
- Grade Unit: ppm
- Intercept: 13.46 m
- From: 61.3 m
- To: 74.76 m

#### Classification

- Sample Type: drill
- Group ID: KL-02:61.3-74.76

#### Review

- Needs Review: No
- Interp. Status: scored
- Historical: No

#### Dates

- Event date: 2024-02-27T00:00:00.000Z

Reasoning: Expanded from assay table: 88 ppm mo. No grade band defined for this commodity, so the score is a placeholder.

- Negative factor: No grade rubric for mo; intercept not scored.

copper

#### Identity

- Hole ID: KL-02
- Commodity: copper
- Ticker: WGLD

#### Geometry

- Grade: 0.1
- Grade Unit: %
- Intercept: 2.62 m
- From: 101.28 m
- To: 103.9 m

#### Classification

- Sample Type: drill
- Group ID: KL-02:101.28-103.9

#### Review

- Needs Review: No
- Interp. Status: scored
- Historical: No

#### Dates

- Event date: 2024-02-27T00:00:00.000Z

Reasoning: Expanded from assay table. 0.1 % copper is below against the default band \[2.5, 1, 0.5, 0.25\] %. Grade×width 0.3 %·m is below.

- Negative factor: 0.1 % copper is below the weak threshold \(0.25 %\) on the default band.

- Negative factor: Scored from rubric bands during table expansion, not from document context.

## 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.
