The company also plans to engage consultants to produce a NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate and a Preliminary Economic Assessment. Reasoning: The company is advancing the Tully project by initiating permitting work and planning for a compliant resource update, though the current resource data is historical and non-compliant. - Positive factor: Engagement of environmental consultants for permitting - Positive factor: Acquisition of Tully Gold Project completed - Positive factor: Intent to produce NI 43-101 compliant MRE and PEA - Negative factor: Historical resource is non-compliant with NI 43-101 - Negative factor: Company explicitly states it is not treating historical estimate as current Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **Historical Estimate Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Estimate pre-dates or does not comply with current JORC/NI 43-101 standards — requires verification drilling. Why it applies: The resource estimate provided is from a 2013 report and is explicitly stated as non-compliant with NI 43-101. Evidence · text > historical non-43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate **Inferred Resource** Polarity: negative Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone. Why it applies: The document reports an inferred portion of the historical resource. Evidence · text > inferred 184,000 tonnes 5.17 g/t gold ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Resource Estimates (4) ### indicated [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/archive--e5fae109-797a-48ec-a603-c7e439173ae6#fact-resource-facts-0) Tully Gold Project · gold Historical result Needs review: historical\_restatement #### Identity - Project: Tully Gold Project - Commodity: gold - Region: canada\_on - Reported Region: Timmins, Ontario - Ticker: PNGC #### Resource scope - Estimate type: resource - Reporting standards: other - Resource group id: resource:461905882bdfb2e0e897 - Deposit or zone: Tully Deposit #### Resource Data - Category: indicated - Tonnes: 358000 - Grade: 6.56 - Grade Unit: g/t - Contained Metal: 76000 - Contained Unit: ounces au - Cutoff Grade: 2.5 - Cutoff Unit: g/t Au #### Prior Estimate - Resource Date: 2013-12-15 #### Review - Needs Review: Yes - Review Reason: historical\_restatement - Historical: Yes - Historical Source Date: 2013-12-15T00:00:00.000Z #### Dates - Event date: 2025-10-20T00:00:00.000Z Reasoning: Historical indicated resource from 2013, explicitly noted as non-compliant. - Negative factor: Non-compliant with NI 43-101 - Negative factor: Historical data Evidence · table > 6.56 Context: 358 #### Tags used in scoring **Indicated Resource** Polarity: positive Definition: Reasonable geological confidence based on adequate drilling; continuity can be assumed.

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.
