## Minestarters Atlas summary

Yukon Metals reported assay results from hole BR26-007 at its Birch Copper-Gold Project, which extended the near-surface skarn system by 200 meters to approximately 1 kilometer of drilled strike. The hole intersected 23.5 meters grading 0.48 g/t gold, 0.11% copper, and 1.47 g/t silver from 39.5 meters, including higher-grade sub-intervals such as 1.3 meters at 4.05 g/t gold. A deeper, narrow intercept returned 0.8 meters at 12.1 g/t gold, indicating further gold potential at depth.

Reasoning: The drill results successfully extended the known skarn system by 200 meters along strike, which is a significant exploration step. While some gold intercepts are high-grade, the broader intervals are lower grade, and silver and copper grades are generally weak. The lack of true width and the reliance on metal equivalent calculations without metallurgical test work reduce confidence.

- Positive factor: Step-Out Extension

- Positive factor: QA/QC Disclosed

- Positive factor: Exceptional Gold Grade

- Negative factor: Apparent Width Only

- Negative factor: Metal Equivalent Opaque

- Negative factor: Low Silver Grades

- Negative factor: Low Copper Grades

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

Facts used in scoring: 34

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Hole BR26-007 was drilled as an approximately 200-metre step-out east along strike from hole BR25-003, extending the drilled strike length of near-surface mineralized skarn to approximately 1 kilometre.

Evidence · text

> Drilled as an approximately 200-metre step-out east along strike from hole BR25-003, BR26-007 intersected multiple near-surface skarn horizons, including 23.5 metres grading 0.48 grams per tonne \(“g/t”\) gold, 0.11% copper and 1.47 g/t silver from 39.5 metres downhole, extending the drilled strike length of near-surface mineralized skarn at Birch to approximately 1 kilometre.

**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 includes detailed QA/QC procedures, mentioning certified reference standards, analytical blanks, field duplicates, and preparation duplicates, and names SGS Canada Inc. as the certified laboratory.

Evidence · text

> All diamond drill core from the 2026 program at Birch was logged, photographed, and sawn in half using a diamond blade core saw. One half of the core was submitted for geochemical analysis, while the other half was retained in secure storage for reference. Sampling intervals were determined based on geological boundaries and typically ranged 0.3- 1.5 metres. Control samples comprised approximately 10% of all samples submitted, including certified reference standards, analytical blanks, field duplicates, and preparation duplicates. QA/QC results were reviewed in real time, and all data has been verified as meeting acceptable thresholds for accuracy, precision, and contamination before inclusion in this news release. Drill core samples were sent to SGS Canada Inc. \(“SGS”\) for sample preparation and analysis in Burnaby, British Columbia.

**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 explicitly states that reported intervals are downhole core lengths and true widths have not yet been determined.

Evidence · text

> Reported intervals are downhole core lengths; true widths have not yet been determined.

**Metal Equivalent Opaque**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Metal equivalent grade reported without disclosing the price, recovery, or payability assumptions used.

Why it applies: Copper equivalent \(CuEq %\) values are calculated using metal prices and recovery factors, but the document states 'No metallurgical test work has been completed at Birch,' making the recovery assumptions theoretical rather than test-derived.

Evidence · text

> Copper equivalent \(CuEq %\) values have been calculated using the formula: CuEq % = Cu % + \(Au g/t × 0.95\) + \(Ag g/t × 0.0095\), based on metal prices of US$4.00/lb Cu, US$3,000/oz Au and US$40/oz Ag. Recovery factors of 92% for copper, 80% for gold and 60% for silver were assumed based on a review of comparable projects. No metallurgical test work has been completed at Birch.

## 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.
