The results from holes LMD-121 and LMD-118 confirm high-grade mineralization in the northwest extension of the West Feeder Zone. Reasoning: Exceptional silver grades \(over 1,000 g/t\) and gold grades \(9.0 g/t\) reported in step-out holes, extending known mineralization. - Positive factor: exceptional silver grades - Positive factor: step-out extension - Positive factor: high-grade gold intercepts Facts used in scoring: 8 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The release confirms high-grade mineralization in the northwest extension of the West Feeder Zone. Evidence · text > Confirmation of high-grade mineralization in the northwest extension **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: Silver grade of 3,102 g/t is exceptionally high. Evidence · text > 3,102 g/t silver ## 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.
