The program aims to infill and elevate zones of mineralization, test for additional near-surface opportunities, and support underground infrastructure development. This drilling is part of Aureka's acquisition integration strategy, building on significant historical high-grade gold and silver intercepts from legacy drilling that are being reported for the first time. Reasoning: Aureka Limited has commenced a diamond drilling program at its Fiddlers Creek high-grade gold and silver mine, targeting near-surface mineralization for infill and extension. The program is part of an acquisition integration strategy and builds on significant, newly disclosed historical high-grade intercepts, indicating strong potential for resource growth and mine life extension, despite the historical nature of the reported results and lack of original QA/QC. - Positive factor: Drilling commenced at a high-grade gold and silver mine, indicating active development and exploration. - Positive factor: Program aims to infill and elevate zones of mineralization, supporting future underground infrastructure and extending mine life. - Positive factor: Significant high-grade historical intercepts, including bonanza grades, are highlighted, demonstrating strong potential. - Positive factor: The drilling campaign is part of a post-acquisition integration strategy, fulfilling commitments and adding value to acquired assets. - Positive factor: Competent Person sign-off for the reporting of exploration results. - Negative factor: All reported intercepts are historical, not new results from the current drilling program. - Negative factor: Original legacy drilling lacked formal QA/QC procedures, though a re-assay of a subset showed good correlation. - Negative factor: Intercepts are reported as down-hole lengths only, with true widths not known, which may overstate actual thickness. Facts used in scoring: 36 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: Multiple historical intercepts show exceptionally high gold grades \(786.1 g/t, 134 g/t, 156 g/t\) and silver grades \(1600 g/t\), well above the deposit-type norm for orogenic gold/silver. Evidence · text > 0.06m @ 786.1g/t Au from 20.13m **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: The document explicitly states that 'All exploration is reported as down-hole lengths' and true widths are not known for the reported intercepts. Evidence · text > All exploration is reported as down-hole lengths. **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 that 'Certified standards and blanks were routinely inserted into assay batches' for re-assays and that 'A comparison of the repeat sample showed an excellent correlation with the primary sample'. Evidence · text > AKA requested that a representative portion of the pulps be re-assay with QAQC. In total, 25 samples we re-submitted for assay which included two standards and one blank. A comparison of the repeat sample showed an excellent correlation with the primary sample and there were no issues with the QAQC. **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The drilling program explicitly aims to 'infill and elevate zones of mineralisation' to improve confidence. Evidence · text > Drilling aims to infill and elevate zones of mineralisation **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The program also aims to 'test key areas for additional near surface mineralisation opportunities' and notes that 'mineralisation remains open along strike, down-plunge to the south-east, and also down dip'. Evidence · text > test key areas for additional near surface mineralisation opportunities **Stale Data Re-release** Polarity: negative Definition: Historical results re-announced with no new assays or reinterpretation — low genuine novelty. Why it applies: The document states that the 'Significant high-grade assay results were returned from legacy drilling and have not previously been reported in an ASX context and appear in this release for the first time,' indicating the data is historical but newly disclosed. Evidence · text > Significant high-grade assay results were returned from legacy drilling and have not previously been reported in an ASX context and appear in this release for the first time. **QP/CP Signed** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience. Why it applies: Jozef Story, a Competent Person \(MAIG\), has signed off on the exploration results, data quality, and geological interpretation. Evidence · text > Jozef Story, a Competent Person who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists \(MAIG\) \(\#10079\). J Story has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits under consideration and to the activity currently being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves.’ J Story consents to the publishing of the information in this presentation in the form and context in which it appears. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 36.

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.
