The update resulted in an 11% increase in indicated copper metal and a 17% increase in indicated gold metal compared to the 2021 estimate. Reasoning: The update includes a significant increase in contained copper and gold metal due to the inclusion of surface stockpiles and updated metal prices, representing a material expansion of the resource. - Positive factor: Contained Metal Growth - Positive factor: Category Upgrade - Positive factor: QP/CP Signed - Positive factor: NI 43-101 Compliant Facts used in scoring: 9 ## Classification and evidence **Contained Metal Growth** Polarity: positive Definition: True scale improvement — contained metal ounces/tonnes increased vs prior, accounting for both tonnage and grade changes. Why it applies: Indicated metal content increased by 11% for copper and 17% for gold compared to the 2021 MRE. Evidence · text > Indicated Resource to increase by 11% in the Cu metal and 17% in the gold metal content **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: Sue Bird, P.Eng of MMTS is named as the Qualified Person. Evidence · text > The qualified person responsible for the mineral resource estimate is Sue Bird P.Eng **NI 43-101 Compliant** Polarity: positive Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard. Why it applies: The release states the estimate was prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 requirements. Evidence · text > prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, as set forth in NI 43-101 **Cut-off Undisclosed** Polarity: negative Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing. Why it applies: The surface stockpile resource is reported without a cutoff grade. Evidence · text > The surface stockpile Mineral Resource is not based on a Cutoff grade ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 9.

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.
