The recent drilling, including hole 25-01, has significantly expanded the known copper-molybdenum mineralized system and demonstrated that the system remains open at depth. Reasoning: The release reports significant new drill intercepts that extend the known mineralized footprint and confirm system continuity, supported by robust QA/QC disclosure. - Positive factor: significant expansion of mineralized system - Positive factor: intercepts extend higher-grade zone by 199m - Positive factor: system remains open at depth - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols disclosed with certified lab - Negative factor: true widths not yet determined Facts used in scoring: 8 ## 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 insertion of certified reference materials, blanks, and preparation duplicates, with ALS Laboratories being ISO/IEC 17025 accredited. Evidence · text > ALS Laboratories is independent of the Company and is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 standards **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 reported intervals are downhole lengths and true widths have not yet been determined. Evidence · text > Reported intervals are downhole lengths; true widths have not yet been determined. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 8. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (8) ### 25-01 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/archive--2649ca1d-ebfb-4281-a49c-44a58bef3317#fact-drill-facts-0) Redonda · copper #### Identity - Hole ID: 25-01 - Project: Redonda - Commodity: copper - Region: canada\_bc - Reported Region: canada\_bc - Ticker: UUU #### Geometry - Grade: 0.3252 - Grade Unit: % - Intercept: 27.07 m - From: 3.05 m - To: 29.12 m - Hole Depth: 27.07 m - Intercept Depth: 3.05 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: 25-01:3.05-29.12 - Mining Method: open\_pit #### Location - Dip: -65 ° - Loc.

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.
