## Minestarters Atlas summary

Westhaven has reported high-grade gold and silver drill results from its South Zone infill drilling program at the Shovelnose Gold Property. Notable intercepts include 27.51m at 14.47 g/t Au and 52.3 g/t Ag, confirming mineralization continuity.

Reasoning: Significant high-grade gold intercepts \(up to 14.47 g/t\) and silver credits reported during resource infill drilling.

- Positive factor: high-grade gold intercepts

- Positive factor: continuity confirmed

- Positive factor: silver credits

Facts used in scoring: 10

## Classification and evidence

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: 0.52m at 200 g/t Au is an exceptionally high-grade zone.

Evidence · text

> 0.52m grading 200 g/t Au

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery.

Why it applies: The release explicitly states 'resource infill drilling continues'.

Evidence · text

> resource infill drilling is 66% complete

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.
