## Minestarters Atlas summary

Westward Gold has reported significant gold drill results from hole T2602 at the SSD Target in Nevada, featuring 34.9 metres at 2.91 g/t Au including a 4.1 metre high-grade interval of 16.15 g/t Au. The results confirm a lamprophyre-filled fault corridor and the presence of pathfinder minerals, reinforcing the potential for a Carlin-type gold system.

Reasoning: High-grade gold intercept in a promising Carlin-type setting with supporting pathfinder minerals \(orpiment, arsenic, antimony\).

- Positive factor: strong gold grades

- Positive factor: significant width

- Positive factor: pathfinder minerals present

- Positive factor: Carlin-type indicators

- Negative factor: true width unknown

- Negative factor: deleterious elements present

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: Release includes detailed QA/QC protocols, including standards, blanks, and duplicates, and names ALS as the laboratory.

Evidence · text

> Overall QA/QC frequency was set at a minimum of 15%, including standards, blanks, and three varieties of duplicates.

**Deleterious Elements Present**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Penalty elements \(arsenic, antimony, etc.\) or refractory concerns noted in the release.

Why it applies: The release explicitly mentions elevated arsenic and antimony associated with the gold mineralization.

Evidence · text

> Elevated arsenic and antimony are associated with gold mineralization

**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 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

## 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.
