The company also confirmed a new gold-copper mineralized zone \(Carmen target\) and completed a historical re-sampling program that identified significant new silver mineralization. Reasoning: The release reports significant high-grade silver step-out results and the discovery of a new gold-copper zone, both of which materially expand the project's footprint and potential. - Positive factor: High-grade silver step-out intercepts \(1,599 g/t Ag\) - Positive factor: Discovery of new gold-copper mineralization \(Carmen target\) - Positive factor: Expansion of silver footprint by ~25% - Positive factor: Successful historical re-sampling adding new mineralized intervals - Negative factor: True width not yet calculated for new intercepts Facts used in scoring: 11 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Hole QVD-475 is a 100m step-out from the resource boundary. Evidence · text > A step-out hole 100 meters northwest from the resource boundary intersected 1,599 g/t Ag **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 2,780 g/t Ag is exceptionally high grade. Evidence · text > 2,780 g/t Ag over 2.0m **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).
