The PEA indicates a large-scale porphyry deposit with an after-tax NPV8% of US$2,703 million and an IRR of 18.5%. Reasoning: The filing of the NI 43-101 Technical Report formalizes the previously announced PEA, providing a structured basis for the Aurora project's economics, though the results remain preliminary. - Positive factor: Large-scale porphyry deposit - Positive factor: Strong NPV8% of US$2,703 million - Positive factor: Robust production profile - Negative factor: Results are preliminary \(PEA\) - Negative factor: Significant Inferred resource component - Negative factor: Economic analysis lacks high certainty Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **NI 43-101 Compliant** Polarity: positive Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard. Why it applies: The company has filed an independent NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Aurora PEA. Evidence · text > the Company has filed an independent National Instrument 43-101 \("NI 43-101"\) Technical Report. **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 Aurora resource is classified as Inferred. Evidence · text > includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically **PEA-Supporting** Polarity: neutral Definition: Resource estimate prepared to support a Preliminary Economic Assessment — early-stage study. Why it applies: The technical report supports the Preliminary Economic Assessment \(PEA\) announced in September.

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.
