The update includes a maiden Indicated Mineral Resource of 8.8 Mt at 1.43 g/t Au for 410,000 ounces, alongside an expanded Inferred Mineral Resource of 63.2 Mt at 0.95 g/t Au for 1.93 million ounces. This represents a substantial increase in contained gold and an upgrade in resource confidence, with the estimate prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 standards. Reasoning: The updated MRE for the Taurus Deposit shows a significant increase in contained gold ounces, including the addition of a new Indicated Mineral Resource category, and is compliant with NI 43-101 standards, though a large portion remains in the Inferred category. - Positive factor: category\_upgrade - Positive factor: contained\_metal\_growth - Positive factor: tonnage\_growth - Positive factor: qp\_signed - Positive factor: ni\_43\_101\_compliant - Positive factor: pit\_constrained - Negative factor: high\_inferred\_percentage Facts used in scoring: 2 ## Classification and evidence **Category Upgrade** Polarity: positive Definition: Resource confidence improved — Inferred upgraded to Indicated, or Indicated to Measured. De-risking signal. Why it applies: The document explicitly states 'The conversion of a substantial portion of the MRE to Indicated status attests to the continuity of mineralization at the Taurus Deposit', indicating an upgrade in resource confidence. Evidence · text > The conversion of a substantial portion of the MRE to Indicated status attests to the continuity of mineralization at the Taurus Deposit **Tonnage Growth** Polarity: positive Definition: Significant tonnage increase \(≥15%\) vs prior estimate with grade maintained or improved. Why it applies: The new resource represents a significant increase in tonnage from the previous estimate, as stated in the highlights. Evidence · text > This new resource represents a significant increase from the previous resource estimate **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: The updated Inferred resource of 1.71 Moz at 0.5 g/t Au cutoff is a substantial increase over the 2022 Inferred resource of 1.4 Moz, demonstrating growth in contained gold. Evidence · text > This is a substantial increase over the 2022 Inferred resource of 1.4 Moz at 1.14 g/t Au **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: Scott Zelligan, P.Geo., an independent Qualified Person, and Jill Maxwell, P.Geo., VP Exploration, have verified and approved the technical information in the news release. Evidence · text > Scott Zelligan, P.Geo., the independent Qualified Person \(QP\) as defined by NI43-101, has verified and approved the technical information related to the MRE in this news release. Other technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Jill Maxwell, P.Geo., Cassiar Gold Corp.'s VP Exploration, who is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. **NI 43-101 Compliant** Polarity: positive Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard. Why it applies: The MRE has been prepared in accordance with Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum \(CIM\) definition standards and will be filed as an NI43-101 Report. Evidence · text > The MRE has been prepared in accordance with Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum \(CIM\) definition standards, and represents the expansion and infill of the deposit footprint by the Company since the previous mineral resource estimate from 2022. A technical report in support of the MRE \(the 'NI43-101 Report'\) will be filed on SEDAR within 45 days of this news release. **Inferred Resource** Polarity: negative Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone. Why it applies: A significant portion of the updated resource, 63.2 Mt at 0.95 g/t Au for 1.93 million ounces, is classified as Inferred Mineral Resource. Evidence · text > with an additional Inferred Mineral Resource: 63.2 Mt at 0.95 g/t Au for 1.93 million ounces **Resource Update** Polarity: neutral Definition: Revised estimate for an existing resource — compare to prior to assess progress. Why it applies: The announcement reports the results of an updated Mineral Resource Estimate \(MRE\) for the Taurus Deposit.
