This intercept includes a high-grade core of 1.7 meters at 347.07 g/t gold and 9,526.36 g/t silver, extending mineralization to the west and south. Reasoning: The intercept H26D-6175A represents a record-breaking gold and silver grade for the company, significantly exceeding previous bests and extending the known mineralized footprint. - Positive factor: exceptional gold grades \(30.49 g/t and 347.07 g/t\) - Positive factor: step-out extension to the west and south - Positive factor: visible gold observed - Positive factor: highest grade intercept in company history Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: The 1.7m intercept at 347.07 g/t gold is exceptionally high grade. Evidence · text > Including 1.7 meters at 347.07 g/t gold **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The intercept extends the known mineralization farther to the west and south. Evidence · text > This intercept extends farther to the west and south of previously reported high-grade gold and silver intercepts ## 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.
