The program includes both infill and step-out drilling, alongside exploration of the Newcoast, Hopeful, and Snow Creek prospects. Reasoning: The announcement details a significant new 10,000m drill program aimed at resource expansion and upgrading, supported by a substantial existing resource and high-grade historical context. - Positive factor: Launch of 10,000m drill program - Positive factor: Significant existing resource base at Taurus - Positive factor: High-grade historical mining at Cassiar South - Positive factor: Expansion potential at Newcoast and Hopeful prospects Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The 2026 program includes both infill drilling to upgrade the resource and step-out drilling to expand it. Evidence · text > this year's drilling will include both infill drilling to upgrade the resource and step-out drilling to expand it **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The program includes step-out drilling to expand the Taurus deposit. Evidence · text > this year's drilling will include both infill drilling to upgrade the resource and step-out drilling to expand it ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4.

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.
