# Westward Gold Drills 12.0 Metres of 8.06 g Au/t within 27.0 Metres of 3.72 g Au/t in Hole T2601 at the SSD Target, Toiyabe Hills Property, Nevada Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/westward-gold-drills-12-0-metres-of-8-06-g-au-t-within-27-0-metres-of-3-72-g-au--51f429de-0374-405a-8bb5-f9951e1923b2 Original source: https://www.thenewswire.com/press-releases/1AJ6FQW2y-westward-gold-drills-12-0-metres-of-8-06-g-au-t-within-27-0-metres-of-3-72-g-au-t-in-hole-t2601-at-the-ssd-target-toiyabe-hills-property-nevada.html Publisher: thenewswire Original announcement: 2026-08-18T17:28:03.341Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Westward Gold Inc. - Ticker: WG - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: Nevada - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-08-20 02:07:21 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Westward Gold has reported high-grade gold drill results from hole T2601 at the SSD Target in Nevada, including 12.0 metres at 8.06 g/t Au within a 27.0 metre intercept of 3.72 g/t Au. The results confirm that high-angle structural controls identified in recent trenching persist at depth, supporting the company's geological model for Carlin-style mineralization. Reasoning: The intercept of 12.0m at 8.06 g/t Au is a strong result for a Carlin-style gold system, confirming previous trenching vectors and providing significant thickness of mineralization. - Positive factor: High-grade intercept \(8.06 g/t Au\) in a Carlin-style deposit - Positive factor: Confirms structural controls observed in trenching - Positive factor: Significant width \(27m\) of mineralization - Negative factor: True width not explicitly stated \(estimated at 50-70% of apparent width\) Facts used in scoring: 2 ## 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 details a best-practices QA/QC program including standards, blanks, and duplicates, with ALS as the laboratory. Evidence · text > The Company implemented a best-practices QA/QC program during the drilling of core hole T2601. **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 company explicitly states that true thicknesses are currently unknown and estimated at 50-70% of reported thicknesses. Evidence · text > true thicknesses of mineralization are currently unknown and estimated at 50-70% of reported thicknesses ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 2.

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.
