The company also reported results from the Killerö W reconnaissance program in Finland, which intersected up to 0.98% Cu but returned no significant gold, resulting in the JV partner electing not to continue Phase II in Northern Finland. Reasoning: The announcement contains two distinct pieces of news: the positive receipt of drill permits for a VMS project in Norway, and the completion of a reconnaissance program in Finland that returned disappointing gold grades, leading to a JV partner exit from that specific region. - Positive factor: Drill permits received for Hessjøgruva project - Positive factor: High-grade copper intercept of 0.98% Cu reported at Killerö W - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols clearly disclosed - Negative factor: Low gold values returned from Killerö W and Killerö E drilling - Negative factor: Tümad JV partner electing not to proceed to Phase II in Northern Finland Facts used in scoring: 2 ## Classification and evidence **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: Release details specific QA/QC methods including standards, duplicates, and blanks, and names ALS Laboratories. Evidence · text > Internal controls of analytical results were provided by a mix of Certified Reference Materials \(standards\), duplicates, and blanks **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The Hessjøgruva program contemplates follow-up drilling for further infill at Lens A. Evidence · text > follow-up drilling expected at Lens A \(further infill and potential extensions\) ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 2.

Status: scored - Historical: No #### Dates - Event date: 2026-09-29T00:00:00.000Z Reasoning: The intercept represents the maximum copper grade reported in the reconnaissance drilling. - Positive factor: 0.98% Cu is a notable intercept for a reconnaissance program Evidence · text > Maximum copper grades returned were 0.98% Cu over 1.0m \(211.4-212.4m in KW-002\) #### Tags used in scoring **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is true **Cut-off Undisclosed** Polarity: negative Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing. Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: proximity is offered as the value premise: "Hessjøgruva \(Norway\) Project Highlights Hessjøgruva is an advanced exploration-stage Cu-Co-Zn VMS project on which 12,03" ### KW-001 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/capella-minerals-receives-drill-permits-for-hessj-gruva-copper-project-central-n--98e9c6aa-c407-4080-95c3-4b7156d82a21#fact-drill-facts-1) Killerö W · gold #### Identity - Hole ID: KW-001 - Project: Killerö W - Commodity: gold - Region: finland - Reported Region: finland - Ticker: CMIL #### Geometry - Grade: 0 - Grade Unit: g/t #### Classification - Sample Type: drill #### Location - CRS: WGS84/UTM Zone 35N #### QA/QC - Laboratory: ALS Laboratories - QA/QC Disclosed: Yes - QP Signed: Yes - QA/QC Methods: standards, blanks, duplicates #### Deleterious - Deleterious Flag: No #### Review - Needs Review: No - Interp.

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.
