The acquisition was supported by a successful $35 million capital raise, enabling an aggressive exploration program targeting both near-surface and regional targets. While the resource is currently entirely Inferred, the project benefits from strong infrastructure and historical high-grade production, with potential for future growth and open-pit opportunities. Reasoning: Bellavista Resources Ltd achieved a highly material and novel transformation by acquiring an 80% interest in the Pickle Crow Gold Project, which boasts a significant 2.8 Moz Inferred gold resource, and successfully raising $35 million to fund an aggressive exploration program. This strategic move, coupled with strong infrastructure and experienced leadership, positions the company for substantial growth, despite the early-stage confidence of the resource and the historical nature of some underlying data. - Positive factor: Acquisition of 2.8 Moz gold project \(Pickle Crow\) - Positive factor: Successful $35M capital raise - Positive factor: Aggressive exploration program planned - Positive factor: Admission to OTCQX Best Market - Positive factor: Strong infrastructure at Pickle Crow - Positive factor: Experienced new management team - Positive factor: Potential for open-pit mining \(1 Moz at 4.1 g/t Au within 250m\) - Positive factor: Identification of new gold mineralisation \(BIF units\) - Positive factor: Historical high-grade production \(1.5 Moz at 16 g/t Au\) - Positive factor: JORC Compliant resource - Positive factor: QP/CP Signed - Negative factor: Entire resource is Inferred category - Negative factor: Resource classification based on variable drill spacing, un-verifiable historical database, partial lack of historical QA/QC - Negative factor: Stale drilling cut-off date \(Dec 2022 for a Sep 2026 report\) - Negative factor: Company is exploration-stage, not revenue generating - Negative factor: Exposure to foreign currency risk - Negative factor: Contingent performance rights tied to future milestones Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source. Facts used in scoring: 8 ## Classification and evidence **Inferred Resource** Polarity: negative Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone. Why it applies: The Mineral Resource has been entirely classified the Inferred category. Evidence · text > The Mineral Resource has been entirely classified the Inferred category. **All Inferred** Polarity: negative Definition: 100% of resource is Inferred category — very early stage, no engineering confidence. Why it applies: The Mineral Resource has been entirely classified the Inferred category. Evidence · text > The Mineral Resource has been entirely classified the Inferred category. **JORC Compliant** Polarity: positive Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with JORC Code \(Australia\) — high reporting standard. Why it applies: The Mineral Resource Estimate for the Pickle Crow Gold Project was prepared in accordance with the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves \(“JORC Code”\). Evidence · text > The Mineral Resource Estimate for the Pickle Crow Gold Project was prepared in accordance with the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves \(“JORC Code”\) **QP/CP Signed** Polarity: positive Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience. Why it applies: Mr Brian Fitzpatrick is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the JORC Code. Evidence · text > Mr Brian Fitzpatrick is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the JORC Code. **Maiden Resource** Polarity: neutral Definition: First formal MRE for the project — establishes baseline but typically exploration-stage with high Inferred component. Why it applies: The Company first announced a Mineral Resource Estimate for the Pickle Crow Gold Project to the market on 2 February 2026, as part of the announcement regarding the proposed acquisition of the project from FireFly Metals Ltd. Evidence · text > The Company first announced a Mineral Resource Estimate for the Pickle Crow Gold Project to the market on 2 February 2026 **Cut-off Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison. Why it applies: The resource table clearly states the 'Lower Cut-off' for each mineralisation domain. Evidence · table > 3.0g/t Context: 6.7 **Stale Estimate** Polarity: negative Definition: Effective date is >2 years old — data currency concern, may not reflect current geological understanding. Why it applies: The drilling cut-off date for the Mineral Resource Estimate is 31 December 2022, which is over 3.5 years prior to the effective date of 30 June 2026. Evidence · text > Drilling cut-off date of 31 December 2022. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 8.
