The company is advancing toward a maiden mineral resource estimate and preliminary economic assessment scheduled for late 2026. Reasoning: Strong copper grades \(up to 4.00%\) and widths reported at the Nativo area, supporting the upcoming maiden resource estimate. - Positive factor: High-grade copper intercepts reported at Nativo - Positive factor: Mineralization is leachable \(oxide/mixed zones\) - Positive factor: Maiden resource and PEA scheduled for Q4 2026 - Positive factor: Continuous mineralization observed - Negative factor: One hole stopped early due to technical issues Facts used in scoring: 11 ## 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: The document mentions drilling and technical issues but does not explicitly detail QA/QC protocols like standards or blanks in this specific text snippet. Evidence · text > The latest batch of 28 drill holes **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: The 10m at 4.00% Cu intercept is exceptionally high grade for this deposit type. Evidence · text > including 10 m at 4.00% copper ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 11.
