The survey identified a peak value of 0.53% WO3 at sample R079, which also showed elevated tin, extending the known mineralized footprint beyond historical workings. Reasoning: Phase 2 soil survey successfully identified two discrete tungsten anomalies, including a high-grade 0.53% WO3 sample in a previously untested area, refining drill targets. - Positive factor: significant soil anomalies defined - Positive factor: extension of known footprint - Positive factor: high-grade soil sample in untested ground - Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed - Negative factor: soil geochemistry is not indicative of grade or resource Facts used in scoring: 3 ## 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 mentions certified independent laboratory ALS Global, field duplicates, standards, and blanks. Evidence · text > Soil samples were collected and submitted to a certified independent laboratory, ALS Global **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The survey defined anomalies that extended the recognized footprint well beyond historical workings. Evidence · text > extended the recognised footprint well beyond them ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3.
