The results extend mineralization east of the South Zone and test the southern margin of the Babine porphyry stock. Reasoning: Significant step-out drilling successfully connected new mineralization to existing zones, demonstrating continuity in a highly prospective area. - Positive factor: Step-Out Extension - Positive factor: Strong continuity - Positive factor: Near-surface mineralization Facts used in scoring: 8 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: NAK26-89 extends near-surface mineralization 250 metres east of the South Zone. Evidence · text > extending near-surface mineralization 250 metres east of the South Zone **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 details ALS accreditation, ISO/IEC 17025, and specific standard/blank/duplicate insertion protocols. Evidence · text > ALS is accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard for assays. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 8.

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.
