The program utilized grab and channel sampling, identifying a 200m trend at Adrian and a 250m trend at Cox, both coinciding with IP chargeability anomalies. Reasoning: Successful extension of known mineralization and new channel sampling results at Cox, supported by geophysical anomalies, preparing for a funded drill program. - Positive factor: extension of Adrian trend to 200m - Positive factor: confirmation of Cox trend via channel sampling - Positive factor: coincidence with IP chargeability anomalies - Positive factor: high-grade grab samples at Adrian - Negative factor: sampling is grab/channel based \(selective/not representative of bulk tonnage\) Facts used in scoring: 7 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Prospecting has extended the 2025 Adrian discovery along an east-northeast trend over approximately 200 metres. Evidence · text > Prospecting has extended the 2025 Adrian discovery \(3.67 g/t Au\) along an east-northeast trend over approximately 200 metres **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 use of certified ActLabs, CRM, and blanks in the sampling protocols. Evidence · text > Each rock sample collected in the field was identified, securely bagged and transported to ActLabs laboratories \(Val-d’Or, Québec\), a certified commercial laboratory **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: Channel sample lengths are stated as sampled lengths and true widths are not known. Evidence · text > Channel lengths are sampled lengths; true widths are not known. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 7.
