Minestarters Atlas analysis
Summary
Zodiac Gold has confirmed a second 1.8 km mineralized trend at the Lewis Target within its Todi Gold Project in Liberia through first-pass trenching. The trenching results, specifically from LWT001 and LWT002, show broad near-surface gold mineralization with high-grade intercepts up to 6.59 g/t Au.
Reasoning: First-pass trenching successfully confirmed a new parallel mineralized trend (Lewis North) with encouraging grades and significant width, expanding the Lewis target footprint.
Positive factors
- Confirmation of a second 1.8 km mineralized trend
- Broad near-surface mineralization
- High-grade intercepts (up to 6.59 g/t Au)
- Expansion of exploration footprint
Negative factors
- Apparent width only (trenching/no true width reported)
Facts used in scoring: 6
Classification and evidence
Step-Out Extensionpositive
Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.
Why it applies: Confirmed a second 1.8 km mineralized trend 400m away from the existing Lewis South trend.
Evidence · text
“establishing a second compelling mineralized trend parallel to Lewis South”
QA/QC Disclosedpositive
Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods (blanks, standards, duplicates).
Why it applies: Release details blanks, duplicates, and accredited ALS Geochemistry laboratory.
Evidence · text
“QA/QC procedures included the addition of blank and duplicate samples”
Apparent Width Onlynegative
Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness.
Why it applies: Trenching results are reported as trenched lengths rather than true thicknesses.
Evidence · text
“Intervals are trenched lengths rather than true thicknesses, which cannot be accurately estimated”

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.
