The update features a 54% increase in Indicated resources to 22.1 million tonnes at 1.40 g/t Au and an 8% increase in Inferred resources to 45.6 million tonnes at 1.25 g/t Au. Reasoning: The 2026 MRE shows substantial growth in both tonnage and contained gold, driven by new drilling and a higher gold price assumption. - Positive factor: Significant tonnage growth in Indicated category \(54%\) - Positive factor: Expansion of mineralized footprint on strike and dip - Positive factor: Increased gold price assumption from $1,950 to $3,000/oz - Positive factor: Addition of 10 new drill holes contributing to growth - Negative factor: High proportion of Inferred resource \(45.6 Mt vs 22.1 Mt Indicated\) Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **Tonnage Growth** Polarity: positive Definition: Significant tonnage increase \(≥15%\) vs prior estimate with grade maintained or improved. Why it applies: Indicated resource tonnage increased by 54% compared to the 2024 estimate. Evidence · text > 54% increase in Indicated Mineral Resource to 22.1 million tonnes **NI 43-101 Compliant** Polarity: positive Definition: Resource estimate prepared in compliance with NI 43-101 \(Canada\) — high reporting standard. Why it applies: The resource estimate was prepared and reviewed by Qualified Persons in accordance with NI 43-101 standards. Evidence · text > Michael Dufresne, P.Geol., P.Geo., is independent and the Qualified Person \(as defined by NI 43-101\) **QP/CP Signed** Polarity: positive Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience. Why it applies: Qualified Persons Michael Dufresne and Kevin Hon are named as responsible for the estimate. Evidence · text > The MRE was completed by Kevin Hon, B.Sc., P.Geo., Senior Resource Geologist with APEX. ## 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.
