## Minestarters Atlas summary

Zodiac Gold reported encouraging trenching results at the Feh Feh target of the Todi Gold Project, including a 12m at 1.16 g/t Au intercept with a 1m high-grade spike of 8.28 g/t Au. The company also identified new gold-bearing artisanal workings at Gbolomine, extending the exploration footprint beyond the known Monterra Trend.

Reasoning: Encouraging trenching results at Feh Feh including a high-grade 1m intercept, and significant expansion of the exploration footprint via new artisanal workings.

- Positive factor: Step-Out Extension

- Positive factor: Bonanza Intercept

- Positive factor: QA/QC Disclosed

- Negative factor: Apparent Width Only

Facts used in scoring: 8

## Classification and evidence

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Identification of new gold-bearing artisanal workings outside the existing soil geochemical survey footprint.

Evidence · text

> identified new gold-bearing artisanal workings outside the footprint of the existing soil geochemical survey

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

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

Why it applies: 1m at 8.28 g/t Au is exceptionally high grade.

Evidence · text

> 1m at 8.28 g/t Au

**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 details trench QA/QC \(blanks/duplicates\) and lab accreditation \(ALS\).

Evidence · text

> QA/QC procedures included the addition of blank and duplicate samples

**No QA/QC Disclosure**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document.

Why it applies: Artisanal pit channel samples explicitly stated no QA/QC samples were added.

Evidence · text

> No QA/QC samples were added to the artisanal pit channel sample sequence.

**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: Company notes that trenching intervals are sampled lengths rather than true thicknesses.

Evidence · text

> intervals are sampled lengths rather than true 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.
