Drilling is currently active at the Nanko, JX/Irving collaboration, and Omu Sinter targets, with visual evidence of hydrothermal silicification and breccias reported. Reasoning: The company is reporting progress on an active drill program with visual confirmation of silicification, but the primary news is the status of the program and a restatement of a high-grade intercept from June 2026. - Positive factor: aggressive drill program underway - Positive factor: presence of shallow silica-rich mineralization confirmed - Positive factor: high-grade feeder target identified for future testing - Negative factor: current results are visual/geological rather than new assay-based intercepts - Negative factor: new assays for current holes are still pending Facts used in scoring: 6 ## 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: The release mentions verification of data through review of standard and blank analyses by a QP. Evidence · text > verified the data disclosed including sampling, through review of photographs of core prior to and after sawing and sampling, and analytical, through review of standard and blank analyses. **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The program includes follow-up drilling to test previously identified mineralization. Evidence · text > These holes are follow-up to previous drilling which tested silicification and mineralization at shallow depths. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6.

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.
