The update introduces indicated resources for the first time and expands the total inferred resource to 1.60 billion tonnes, representing a 50% increase in contained copper compared to the previous November 2025 estimate. Reasoning: The update represents a significant expansion of the resource scale and a major confidence upgrade \(Indicated\) for the near-surface core, directly supporting an upcoming PEA. - Positive factor: Category upgrade to Indicated for 290Mt - Positive factor: Significant tonnage growth in Inferred resource to 1.60Bt - Positive factor: 50% increase in total contained copper vs November 2025 estimate - Positive factor: First reported mineable underground shapes Facts used in scoring: 4 ## 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 estimate classifies indicated resources at Mocoa for the first time. Evidence · text > classifies indicated resources at Mocoa for the first time **Tonnage Growth** Polarity: positive Definition: Significant tonnage increase \(≥15%\) vs prior estimate with grade maintained or improved. Why it applies: The inferred resource expanded to 1.60 billion tonnes. Evidence · text > expands the inferred resource to 1.60 billion tonnes **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: Total contained copper increased by 50% compared to the November 2025 estimate. Evidence · text > increases the total contained copper by 50% in comparison to the previous estimate released in November 2025 ## 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.
