While new assay results for the 2025 holes are pending, the program has successfully intersected mineralization and confirmed the project's structural continuity. Reasoning: The update provides geological context and program progress rather than new high-grade intercepts, confirming the structural model but lacking new assay data for the current holes. - Positive factor: mineralization extension to the north - Positive factor: confirmation of tabular geometry - Positive factor: open mineralization at depth - Negative factor: no new assay results reported for 2025 holes - Negative factor: RDP-25-010 terminated early due to intrusive 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: Release mentions Danette Schwab, P.Geo. as a Qualified Person. Evidence · text > reviewed and approved by. Danette Schwab, P.Geo., ... and a Qualified Person **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Drilling at RDP-25-011 extends mineralization to the north of RDP-22-005 by a minimum of 50 m.

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.
