The program includes step-out drilling towards the West 1 Zone and ongoing metallurgical testing by SGS Lakefield to evaluate processing amenability. Reasoning: The company is initiating a resource-focused drilling campaign to support a maiden MRE, supported by ongoing metallurgical testing. - Positive factor: commencement of resource drilling programme - Positive factor: targeting maiden Mineral Resource Estimate in 2026 - Positive factor: high-grade historical intercepts mentioned - Positive factor: metallurgical testing underway with SGS Lakefield - Negative factor: drilling start delayed by one month due to weather and procurement Facts used in scoring: 4 ## 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 release mentions a Qualified Person \(James Gilbertson\) has reviewed the technical information and metallurgical results. Evidence · text > The technical information presented in this press release has been reviewed and approved by James Gilbertson... who is a Qualified Person **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: The historical intercept of 187.4 g/t Au is exceptionally high grade. Evidence · text > 187.4g/t Au over 1.5m ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4.

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.
