The company is advancing the project directly to a prefeasibility study targeted for 2027, supported by its largest drilling program to date. Reasoning: Strong drill results including a 32.7 g/t Au intercept and significant continuity support, alongside a clear path to PFS. - Positive factor: High-grade intercepts reported in multiple holes - Positive factor: Drilling supporting continuity of mineralization - Positive factor: Project advancing directly to PFS - Negative factor: True widths undetermined Facts used in scoring: 9 ## Classification and evidence **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: Reported intervals are downhole lengths, with true widths undetermined. Evidence · text > Reported intervals are downhole lengths, with true widths undetermined. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 9.
